So what is a Head o State?

We discussed some time ago how much of a celeb Barack Obama then was. Did he, we wondered during the election campaign, have the selling power of Madonna? Michael Jackson? Elvis? It seems obvious now that any speculation was hopelessly off track...

But if anyone is still wondering, here is proof that there's absolutely nothing people won't try to shift with an Obama-label. It's worse, I reckon, even than the Obama Llama. It is the Presidential sex toy, the Head O State.

Has anyone heard of a more cringemaking product on the market? Would it sell with an anglo-twist? Will it in fact sell at all? And what do you think the Pres would make of the word "official" being used on the packaging?
