I can't imagine guys like that making national news --- the media lately has been focusing on the more intelligent Americans... I think we're getting a bad rep for being fat and stupid. Dude, Italian women are stick figures! At least we got some meat on our bones!!!!

First, it is a copyright infringement. Second probably has some racist intent behind it, and just isn't that amusing. And most importantly, the man with the yellow hat's relationship with Curious George has never been fully explained.


But Obama does have comical ears. :)

I would be angrier if I was an African American. I also agree that it isn't really a funny shirt, or entertaining, or particularly artistic. And also! If I was Obama, I'd be kind of insulted about the ears thing ;) But he had to have known it was coming -- political cartoons have always picked on presidents and prominent figures because of their particular facial attributes :P

Comparing the first african american with a serious shot at the presidency to a chimpanzee in the SOUTH (where racism is always intentional, trust me) of course is racism.

But at least Curious George was a lot more intelligent than the gorillas and monkeys that W was compared to. People don't call white people monkey to be racist, usually just means they are stupid regardless of color.

You have to agree that his smile and those ears are similar, but I agree that it is obviously a racist t-shirt.
