Racist T Shirt (1 Viewer)

[Danny_Mc]

ARIETTA, Ga. - The publisher of the popular children book's series "Curious George" is considering legal action against a Georgia bar owner for selling T-shirts that link Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama to the inquisitive monkey.

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is upset with Mike Norman, owner of a Marietta, Ga., bar, for selling the shirts which show Curious George peeling a banana with "Obama in '08" printed beneath the image.


Norman, who began selling the shirts in late April, has said they are not meant to be racist. He said he thinks the Illinois senator and the character "look so much alike."

To be fair, Obama looks a bit like a monkey. But at least he doesn't share the same brain as a moneky, unlike that bar guy.

Whatever works for you, man.

You see enough of these things and also how the blacks are regarded down south and it stops being funny. For me anyway.

That Hitler European Tour shirt was very popular in the 80s. I didn't understand at the time why i wasn't allowed to have it

(it was because it was made by dirty foreigners)

 

[the strange guy]

It's because the tour was cancelled.
Bad faith and all.
