Eh, my thoughts on the matter are this: There's a long history of blacks being demeaned by being compared to monkies. Now, I don't believe that the cartoonist had that thought in mind when he drew that cartoon, but I also think that he should have had the foresight to realize that chances are, someone would see it as racially insensitive because of who the president was.

I like to compare it to the restaurant "Hooters". The owners of the restaurant defended the name, saying that it was given that name because of the owl logo. A comedian commented on that once, saying "Well if that's the case, I'm going to start a restaurant with a rooster and a lollipop for a logo and I'm going to call it C*&^ Suckers". Maybe the owners of "Hooters" really were just referring to the owl, but you'd think they'd have had the foresight to realize what image first comes to mind with the name "hooters".

I was talking about this with a few friends the other day.

If I HAD to fight a chimp I would. I would fight dirty though.

Gato I'm kinda reminded of Clyde the oragutang from the old Clint Eastwood movie "Every Which Way but Loose".

kahljorn in some societies it isn't really so shocking when parents kill their asshole children. just cause you have children doesn't mean they are beyond requite. That's just some lame christian value people adhere to in order to feel self-important.

To be fair, if I had a kid and he suddenly went berserk and started ripping the face off an innocent woman, I'd probably grab a weapon too.

ZeldaQueen Scarily enough, that might be an accurate statement if you read the thread on the Octuplets in the Philosophy forum.

I have to wonder why a person feels the need to own a chimp in the first place. Isn't a dog or cat better? Somethin without opposible thumbs that can open latches and such things?

kahljorn at first i thought it was something about the budget problem in california and i thought it was kind of funny cause you know they need to quit monkeying around ;\

ZeldaQueen Sorry McClain... I do hope that women recovers. I've heard that chimps are pretty nasty or at least the adult ones are (I've heard that the babies are considered cute pets by some people, only to be abandoned when they get older and all chompy-chompy)

I don't care if the cartoon is racist, because it isn't funny. It's typically republican humor. Pick something bad that just happpened and associate it with something you don't like. It's like the humor gene is missing. The basic elements of joke structure are there, but the artist doesn't actually understand what a joke is.

I could do the same cartoon and say "The republicans need a new Chairman of the Republican national party". It would be equally unfunny and equally racist."
That's what I'm saying. It's not clever, it doesn't make some sort of message (besides "Ha ha, here's a swing at the stimulous bill!"). It's pulled off with all of the subtly of a batter swinging with a refrigerator. Plus, even if they didn't intend for it to be racist (which was probably the case), they had to be idiots not to see the idea would be picked up as such.

And pac-man, no I do not. Not in the slightest.
