Is it me or does Mr. Poo look vaguely like Obama?

Meet Mr Poo: The lumpy, brown anthropomorphised faeces that is the face of Unicef’s latest public health campaign in India.
Accompanied by an insanely catchy techno-Bollywood-style anthem, Mr Poo features in a very silly and surreal new video aimed at raising awareness of the health dangers associated with public defecation in India. Though the video is light-hearted; the issue is a serious one.
Globally, India has the largest number of people, more than 620 million, still defecating in the open. Only about half the population of the country use toilets.
According to the Poo2Loo campaign, which is supported by United Nations Children’s Fund, 44 per cent of mothers in India dispose of their children’s faeces in the open, meaning there is an extremely high risk of microbial contamination (bacteria, viruses, amoeba) of water – which can cause diarrhea in children.
