Baraquaman!

sg
Today is the President's birthday, so I figured this would be the most appropriate time to post this goofy image I found on one of those LOL sites. Aside from the clever word play, I wonder how the heck did the photographer even get this shot? Sitting atop a surfboard?

Over the course of the year, I got a couple of other Obama-related Aquaman items in, and I considered doing a theme week. But then I decided that would be a bit much, so I'm posting all the stuff I have today.

In addition to the above photo, I also found this strange item:

...why someone would think of subbing in Aquaman in this context, and then go to the trouble of shooting their own photo, I have no idea. But I enjoy it for its sheer oddness.

Finally, there's this little homemade doll, sent to me by F.O.A.M.er Mac Schafer and Family:

Mac says: "Here is a pic of our latest creation. At Urban Outfitters they sell a 'Do it yourself' Obama. I present to you two pics of Aqua Obama."

I love it, thanks Schafer Family...and happy birthday, Mr. President!

Okay - one Obama/Aquaman item would be odd enough, but you managed to find three? Hats off to you, sir, for weird blog of the day!

I glad to see so many Aquaman designed vinyl toys on this site! Makes me want to do a few more. Giving Obama Aquaman's suit is so strange, but I like it.

Those green gloves holding the Bible belong to Michelle, don't they?
