...if it is, it shows terrible taste on Shepard's part. He should remember how that ended up working out for Ted Danson

How does the new print appear on this website before the official Obey Giant site? I read the thread here first, went to the Obey site and it was still the Comanda print. The Obey site now has the new print up, but it was a few hours after it was posted here.

Oh, sorry dude, I thought you were just talking about yourself in the 3rd person like that Seinfeld episode. Seriously though, what are the Jermy shares about? And, thanks for hooking up the prints each week.

i hope so - that print is so awesome.

adam used to wear an obey shirt with that image on it, and i remember my mom saying he should "be careful" because people might think he's supporting terrorism or something. however, she said the same thing about a paul frank shirt i owned that had cartoon veggies speaking arabic. i guess i probably should've been more careful than adam, since i have no idea what the veggies were even saying!

I wouldn't wear it because I am willing to bet a lot of Muslims would find it offensive.

Now an Arabic speaking cartoon vegetable is just plain scary.

Would of liked this more with a catchy slogan like "Kill Whitey" or something along those lines. I realize that the BP's were a great revolutionary program, but I feel like Newton/Seal would laugh at a cracker having this prints on their wall.

Im pretty sure that there were some white people involved with the black panthers. no?

LittleJohn · Post by **LittleJohn** » Fri Oct 12, 2007 1:37 pm

After reading Seize The Time, whites werent really involved. I guess they feared them more or less. Patty Herst was pretty close to being one though

I've been looking for a way to say that without sounding too ignorant (not that you do LittleJohn) but that's how I feel as well. Not that the image or the message isn't great but it doesn't really relate to me and I can't see it hanging on my wall. Anybody else feel the same?

Hmmm, "Kill Whitey" doesn't seem like Shepard's style nor does it seem like that's the point of any of his Black revolutionary prints. I doubt Huey Newton would laugh at someone who admired him or embraced his beliefs.

"Kill Whitey" has already been done.

Not really, one is speaking to Black solidarity and the other is advocating violence.
