Obama t shirt is not for the curious George

A restaurant owner in Marietta, Ga. has begun selling an Obama t shirt that has everyone talking... The problem is it has actually stirred up quite the controversy that is sure to spark some flames across the lines!

The shirt in question has the Curious George monkey eating a banana with the inscription "Obama 08". The obama curious george t shirt that is being sold has also caught the attention of the famous character's publishers who are rightfully threatening to sue the owner of the restaurant for copyright infringement. The curious george obama shirt has at least respected one point, it has made people think!



As I love parallels between Obama and George Bush, lets start a little debate. Is there a difference between depicting Obama as a cartoon monkey in this obama monkey shirt and making a caricature of George Bush as a monkey? I guess labeling a black man a monkey goes back to the old racist statement of black people being primates, and calling George Bush a monkey is just being realist... It's just sad to see people still have the ignorance to make racist statements, especially ones that are worn and advertised! What a race he has to go through, imagine what would happen if the Republicans get to attack him in the presidential nomination. They certainly won't portray him as a monkey, but they won't give him the king's treatment!



This brings us to the important job public websites like Wordans have to monitor their content. Copyright Infringement and Racist statements are of course banned from Wordans.com, lets just hope other companies keep the same ethical stance. We will have to stick to our user submitted content (so many great designs have been submited already!) like the Obama t-shirt design below, an other Wordans Original!
