none dare call it corporatism

Maybe I'm too sensitive to images, but for some time, I've been wondering something about the Obama logo. And I have to ask.

Do we have a president who wants to be a soft drink?

Or do we have a soft drink that wants to be president?

Or does it matter?

I realize it's all about money, but isn't there something undignified about this?

That last one was a real, actual Pepsi ad (as if there is anything actual or real anymore....)

This one, however, is a spoof.

(Even so, I still think maybe it's The Real Thing.)

And this one suggests itself:

MORE: Was Pepsi a corporate sponsor of this beauty contest?

AND MORE: Much to my dismay, I see that one of Darleen's commenters asked an unfair question about the contestant's views on gay marriage. I say unfair because, while we know perfectly well that the contestant's views are the same as Carrie Prejean's, the situation is very different, because while the latter was forced to say what she meant, the president was forced to say what he never meant!

And what could be more unfair than comparing something that was meant to something that was not meant?

I hope Pepsi sells the rights to Mountain Dew soon, so I don't feel so bad as I drink my 24-plus cans a week.
