T-Shirts That Will Get You Punch In the Face #4

I was flipping through the telly when I came across this news piece about a bar owner selling a t-shirt with the image of Curious George and the words "Obama '08." While the protesters said the shirt is racist, the bar owner retorted that it's not racist but likens the similarity of the democratic candidate's features to that of the cartoon monkey.

While I see the point of the bar owner, there's also the glaring side of the protesters. Gentle readers, what do you make of this brouhaha? Is this racists or just an unfortunate coincidence?
