Curious George Obama T-Shirt!
What is wrong with people? A bar owner in Georgia is selling t-shirts with a picture of curious george eating a banana with a big smile on his face. And the words "Obama '08" underneath it.

Click on Drudgereport to find it. I don't know how to link.

What a world. Are we really still in the mindset of monkeys and eating bananas as humor?

4. Here is the pic for what it is worth.

6. I love Curious George
This George is a good egg, and he'd never condone this. I wonder what his owners think of this... I hope they didn't give permission to use this image!

5. Yes he is a good representative of the racist wing of the GOP
and I will enjoy the misery and agony he will suffer when his President is a black man.

7. Offended by the imagery: yes
More offended by the upside-down apostrophe before the 08, but that's just the proofreader/editor in me.
Get a brain, morans! And realize that just because word processing programs are built with "smart quotes," there are workarounds.

8. I wonder if the trademark holder
of Curious George, Houghton Mifflin Co, would care to know about this pricks theft of the CG likeness? Perhaps I'll send a link to them just in case?

10. Done, sent a link to their legal dept.
I don't know if they'll bother with it but it is pretty offensive and not likely something they want to see. If I hear back I'll post it.

12. Better Curious George Obama than Incurious George W
It takes a moran not to see that.

And I hope Houghton Mifflin sues the bar owner for copyright infringement. Idiot.
