If your friends and family aren’t the determined type, I’d be HAPPY to suggest something else!

Typically I’m not easily convinced that anything and everything Obama or Chia is instantly kitsch, but it’s clear what’s going on in this commercial: WATCH IT ON YOUTUBE OF COURSE

“ On the side of the Chia Obama planter are his famous words:

‘”YES WE CAN.”

Can you grow one?

YES YOU CAN.

Easy to do….. Fun to Grow.
Full growth in 1-2 weeks “

(If you’re not sold yet I also hear chia seeds are a hip health supplement. They increase energy and concentration and digestion, WOW.)

What Allee has to say about this:
This to me is one of the best Kitsch products of 2009. How can you argue with growing a flora wig out of a president’s head? Plus, anything with the name Chia on it has a clear and proud history in the annals/anals of Kitsch.

I, thankfully, own not one Chia Obama but two – Presidential Chia Obama, with the stern and determined face, and Happy Chia Obama, with the toothy smile. There’s also a Chia Hillary but it looks more like Bill than her.
