Did you mean to type Human Relations Committee instead of Joey Vento?

Thanks for the legal. I am aware that the the owners of the copy rights for Curious George are looking into legal action. I will post the link to the article when I find it again.

However my point was that these kinds of negative images are all part of political discourse and are covered by freedom of speech. All politicians get hit with them. Obama can, has and will take his lumps just like everyone else.

As far as the bar owner, he will have to take his lumps for trying to be cute and ripping off copyrighted material.

Well yacky tacky schmachy! You were the one who generalized the statement by saying " coverered by first amendment? Yep"

Well, no. Retorts don't count when disposing a person or company's copyright- sho sorry.

If it was a clipart chimp we'd have a debate- but in the end someone always has a license and they will claim it anytime the controversy does not suit their product.

There is no argument here dear. Put the high horse out to pasture.

Of course there's no argument because you provided a wrong opinion about a for profit company's constitutional rights while I provided facts stating you were wrong.

Sorry, having an interracial tryst as your avatar doesn't make you all knowing about racial issues; if it did Thomas Jefferson would be considered a humanitarian for gettin' busy with Sally Herrings.

Oh wait, I think that's a ghost gettin me from behind in my avatar. Oh crap.

Norman acknowledged the imagery's Jim Crow roots but said he sees nothing wrong with depicting a prominent African-American as a monkey.
