Is Obama abandoning his bid for a second term in the White House and is giving Colonel Sanders a run for his money by opening a chain of fried chicken joints?

Now that's change you can't really believe in.

But in Beijing, China, a restaurant is actually calling itself OFC with a logo that looks alarmingly like the President dressed in the colonel's clothes.

The catchphrase underneath, apparently says 'We’re so cool, aren’t we?'

The Obama Fried Chicken could be a response to the U.S. filing a complaint with the World Trade Organization about Chinese tariffs on American chicken exports.

According to the New York Times, the tariffs affect an industry that employs about 300,000 people and range from 50 to 100 per cent, which means some Chinese importers paid as much as twice the price for American chicken.

Maybe the Chinese have something of an Obama-chicken obsession.
Earlier this year in Hong Kong, an Obama lookalike was employed to advertize KFC.

The restaurant's sign was first spotted by TheShanghaiist.com and picked up by msnbc.com.

There are, of course, New York versions that caused quite a stir.
There is one in Harlem and one in Brooklyn.

Some people have complained the name plays into old racial stereotypes.

Yeah sure, one asshole in Beijing somehow represents the whole China. I guess the Koreans do think alike, both north and south.

 

[Majine]

...against asians.


Seriously. Could those eyes be any more slanted?

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Well if you google Obama laughing its pretty damn accurate.

 

[cheststrongwell]

If I was walking down a busy street in China and saw that restaurant, I'd eat there and get my picture taken in front of the sign.

 

[MIMIC]

At first, I was thinking that China wasn't intentionally playing off of the racial stereotype. But then again, they're using the CHICKEN angle with a black guy. What other explanation could there be?

Then there's the "We’re so cool, aren’t we?" catchphrase. So I think this is 40% racist, 60% spitefulness.

If you poke fun of yourself as you poke fun at another somehow it makes it ok

You can't be new to GAF and the blind China hate...

Bad milk? Blame company? Lololol blame gov't and China.

Obviously those commies had a statewide mandate to mock obama by creating this restaurant.

Just a little bit correction, the chinese word on the bottom is "Talking bullshit! Bao Bao!".
