I encourage folx to read the article on this.

the article I sent is really interesting to think of the intellectual humor that is attached to it and the fact that it could be associated to the president even though the pres didn't write the stimulus package. The great part of this is that if you really look into the meaning there is a theory called "Infinite Monkey theorem" and is exactly what they are implying how the stimulus package was put together. The monkey is a metaphor for congress and how they came up with the stimulus package and is relavent to the current events of a monkey that was just shot and killed by cops for attacking her owners friend. Americans and Al "fucking" Sharpton are complete tards and have no fucking sense of humor. I am really hating ultra "pc" "sensitive" retards. The dumbing down of Americans like Sharpton is coming true. Humans are becoming more like monkeys, were de-evolving.
I will give it to the critiques of this in that maybe the artist even took the perfect oppurtunity to make a racist statement. If he/she did, it is buried in the art and only subject to interpretation anyway. that is art. Hate it or not. I don't see it to be racist. But, that's my opinion.
One more thing....Many commentaries were made during many presidents terms associating them with "chimps", "monkeys", why is this any different? Again, I don't think this is a representation of the president.
