Yes We Tropicana!

Posted Jan 14th 2009 9:03AM by TMZ Staff

We were staring at this Tropicana ad all day yesterday. It's pretty clear to us Tropicana has put the squeeze on Barack Obama and Malia.



Remember the days when OJ was pure....

UPDATE -- A rep for Tropicana tells us, "While the similarity was unintentional, it's good to hear that the images in our new Tropicana campaign entitled "Squeeze, it's a natural" are resonating with consumers and are reflective of American families - even the first family. We're glad to see they squeeze too."

16. Slow news day TMZ, you're seeing things that aren't there. But wait, I see Obama accepting a bribe from Rezko right now in my cereal bowl. I'll send the picture along and you can write about that. Hmmm.... LONG 4 YEARS EVERYONE!!!!

17. I hear ya' "tkennedy"

And I thought meteors would destroy our earth

Posted at 9:16AM on Jan 14th 2009 by Obama is a terrorist! no doubt about it...

18. Are we seeing a "darkening down" in American political culture, like pop culture? This past election was more like an American Idol contest. This ramped up inauguration is playing out like the second coming of Christ with African overtones that are not so attractive.

19. Eh...there's a bit of a resemblance, but I also think it could be chalked up to coincidence.

P.S. Those Obama girls...not so cute. Here's to hoping they grow into their looks in a few years.

You are fu**ing stupid. It's an ad that they did that has a guy and a girl that looks like a picture that resembles a photo that was of Obama and his daughter while on the campaign tour. Obama has nothing to do with this ad. YOU DUMB IDIOT. GOSH YOU REPUBLICANS ARE JUST STUPID. GO BACK TO YOUR TRAILER HOME YOU Trashy A^^hole.

The only stupid thing here is the liberal media (TMZ and friends) worshiping and adoring this nothing politician to a point where they are seeing his face in goddamn orange juice ads. I don't think the guy in the ad is even black, and yet here we are with Obama's image waved in our faces for no reason at all. I was unaware that Obama had taken out a patent on hugging a child and smiling down at them..if this is declared "exploitative" then what next? McDonald's is bashed for copying Obama's race and using black people in their ads? Disney World can't use children in their advertising for fear of being accused of exploiting Obama's kids? This is just ridiculous.

22. oh please. it's a picture. not everyone and everthing thinks Obama is the second coming of Christ.

23. oh, and for all those people that actually THINK it's Obama in the picture...fools. It's some other black guy...I bet you ask the one black person you know if they know someone else simply because they are black. Holy crap people...we SURE are in 2009 right? Based solely on the fact that a half black man is president. I find it amusing that people are saying it's a "new day a new era". You know what, if it REALLY was everyone wouldn't put so much emphasis on the fact he is half black...they would just accept they managed to get a Democrat back in office. It's like all those stars doing charity work, but only if they get credit for it.

24. Uggh, really? Are you serious? This don't look like him nor his daughter. I'm so bored with everything needing to be about this man.

25. Didn't see this ad. Now that I have, I'll never buy Tropicana again since they're trying to identify with Obama. Yes, I know that's not him and his kid, but you know what Tropicana is blatantly doing. I HATE Obama, and scared witless for our country, and want nothing to do with anyone or anything who thinks he's great. Time will tell: I promise you, this guy is very, very scary. Our country is screwed. Bush was horrible, but nothing compared to what we'll see under Obama. For one thing, most of us aren't going to be able to afford Tropicana orange juice! Isn't THAT ironic!

26. YOU PEOPLE ARE STUPID, ITS CLEAR THAT IS NOT HIM IN THE AD. AND WHY WOULD HE BE DOING TROPICANA ADS, IF YOU THINK THAT YOU'RE STUPID. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO SAID YOU WONT PAY TROPICANA, HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT WAS THEIR INTENSION TO RELATE TO THE OBAMA'S?? IT JUST LOOKS LIKE A FATHER AND HIS CHILD. GET OVER THE RACISM PEOPLE... AND ABOVE ALL GROW UP...

28. Boy if this was Palin it would be on the news everywhere!

29. All these propaganda is set by Obama's people...no doubt about it! it is a way of manipulating the rest of the American mind that don't care for him.

"make him very famous and he could do no wrong" that's their philosophy

get it?

Posted at 11:16AM on Jan 14th 2009 by what a crock of shit

30. Tropicana, you just converted your orange juice to Kool-aid!
