WHAT

I work at a Renaissance faire, and we were doing an improv game before a rehearsal where we all have to tell anecdotes about an event, providing a segue that forces the next player to adapt to the chosen plot. The event winds up having escaped monkeys in it. An Italian actor in the cast chose to segue by turning to the black woman next to him and saying “And one of the monkeys looked like your boyfriend!”

So my opinion is that they’re from Italy, and don’t realize how offensive this is.

A) Racist people making “fun” of Barack Obama

The owner of the company is a Mitt Romney contributor.

Occam’s razor.

I’d like a plushie Obama to hug whenever I watch the news, but yeah, that’s horrible and racist, not to mention uncreative.

…hrm… what animal would be appropriate? plushie people creep me out ever since I saw that 60′s Raggedy Ann/Andy movie on PBS.

Holy. Shit.

I was about to ask if the proceeds go to the KKK, but I don’t think they can read. Racist internet businesses must be run by someone else.

But seriously though, Jesus Christ!

Oh. My. God. You have GOT to be kidding me.

Of course it’s racist, just like the “Curious George” Obama ’08 shirts were and the Fox News “Obama’s Baby Mama” story on his wife, and the “He’s a nigger” speech from John McCain was.

The Republicans *have no supporters left who are not racist*. They’re divided along economic lines – the rich white males who want the law to only apply to other people hate the poor white males who want everyone to be an illiterate Baptist like them, and vice-versa – but the one thing every last Republican there is left can agree on is that brown people are scary and unclean.

And here I thought the Hillary nutcracker was scraping the bottom of the barrel.

But, yeah it’s definitely A. The product description is far too easy to read sarcastically.

John, are you sure it wasn’t John MCLANE/ Jack Bauer slash fanfic “Top Gun: Laos Time Travel”?

I know McCain’s ads have the same deal and all the racist/ xenophobic/ extremist dog-whistles, but that specifically I don’t remember.

“Oh yee of old dog tricks
You give not a bone to McCain
Thou spake of war giving him a cane
Iran a viagra of the batguano insane”.

[...] we have an answer to the Hillary Nutcracker — except that, as MonkeyGodKing puts it, this is the “most incredibly stupid boosterism [...]

Undoubtedly racist.

In addition to most of the good reasons listed, if it was *any* sort of real boosterism, proceeds would probably go towards his election. At the very LEAST there would be donation links and a link to his website.

People should find out their webhost and protest. While I do wholeheartedly support people’s right to freedom of speech and ability to make idiots of themselves, I also totally support using your dollar to blacklist ideas you don’t. (boycott advertisers and companies that use the same webhost to put pressure on them to not carry that site anymore, etc).

Does this website have any purpose other than to give wierdos a place to vent? Looks like Obama is making a monkey out of all of us!
