Presenting a New York Magazine article on a Sock Monkey Obama. The article includes a response from the makers of the doll.
Makers of Racist Obama Monkey Would Like to Transcend Racial Bias

We were happily cruising around the Internet yesterday when we stumbled upon a link on Andrew Sullivan’s blog that gave us one of those moments Dave Chappelle joked about in Killin' Them Softly: “Have you ever had something happen that was so racist that you didn’t even get mad? You were just like, ‘Goddamn, that was racist.” That’s how we felt when we saw TheSockObama.com, a Website peddling an “Obama” monkey doll.
Sorry, peeps. there is no talking your way out of your profound racism. Even with your "Squirellary" concept, and your loosely described lumpy potato McCain.
In fact, that makes you SEXIST, and proves that you have succumbed to urban bias. Sorry!
