NYPost Cartoonist Jumps the (Racism) Shark.
A friend showed this to me a few minutes and I can't believe (yet do) how ballsy and just out and out racist this is. I just want to ensure I got my semiotics right. What does that look like you? Just in case to ensure I'm not over reacting.
EDIT: What pisses me off is that they're going to be making money on the effin' traffic to their site. It's already being passed out all viral. Even through Viacom/MTV according my original friend who notified me.
-----------------------------
EDIT...UPDATE: NYPost defends it "Post Editor-in-Chief Col Allan said: "The cartoon is a clear parody of a current news event, to wit the shooting of a violent chimpanzee in Connecticut. It broadly mocks Washington's efforts to revive the economy. Again, Al Sharpton reveals himself as nothing more than a publicity opportunist."
