(FNC) The latest celebrity ad to grace a Times Square billboard doesn't feature an athlete, rock star or actor. It's President Obama sporting a black jacket made by the company Weatherproof. But the White House isn't happy about the newest exposure, saying the president's image -- captured by The Associated Press during his November trip to the Great Wall in Badaling, China -- is not supposed to be used for commercial purposes. "The White House has a longstanding policy disapproving of the use of the president's name and likeness for commercial purposes," White House spokesman Ben LaBolt said in a written statement. The Weatherproof ad comes as first lady Michelle Obama is featured in an unauthorized ad called "Fur-free & Fabulous" produced by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
