In regards to the T-shirts causing all the controversy, the character is not Curious George, although there may be simularities. I made the shirts and there was no racial maliciousness intended. It is a humourous comparion of Obama to a cute animal. Why is it that George Bush can get compared to Alfred E. Newman, as well as a monkey, in the past and it pass by everyone as funny, but no, since it a Afro-American, oh no, it is racial. I have to say, I find it reprehensible that people have to continously cause this kind of uproar over things. It is ok for every comedian and cartoonist as well as talkshow host in the country to make fun of a white man in every shape form and fashion, but let someone stop and compare the likeness of a person and a cute little monkey, it is all out overnight war. Well, this is my opinion, and as the person who made the shirts, I had no intention to have him to publically be compared to George, and there was no idea that people would cause such a outrageous controversy over them. So any way, I feel that the protest and upset people have to move on and find something else to be upset about because 100,000 people have died recently in one place, at one time in this world, and I think they can find a lot better things to waste their energy on.
