The publishing company that owns the Curious George image says it is considering legal action to stop the sale of a T-shirt depicting Barack Obama as the monkey from children's books.
The T-shirts are being peddled by Marietta bar owner Mike Norman at his Mulligan's Bar and Grill in Cobb County, Georgia. They show a picture of Curious Georgie peeling a banana, with the words "Obama '08" underneath.
Mr. Norman defended his shirts by suggesting that they aren't offensive because "We're not living in the (19)40's," he said. "Look at him . . . the hairline, the ears -- he looks just like Curious George."
here we go America, it is just getting started....
