4. I believe that's our cue to make this artist's work VERY popular

rev up your e-mail and send this image everywhere and post it everywhere. Let's hold up oour end of the bargain.

[whistle]

6. So now the fascists are suppressing free artistic expression

[Nay]

12. Not only is this artists' free expression, it qualifies as political

speech. That catapults it into a very protected category, IMHO. Any lawyers here?

7. Eyes bad - is chimp in right eye giving the finger?

[idiosyncratic]

13. I zoomed in on it and this is what I see . . .

[whistle]

16. it looks like a branch to me

...I think if this had been the impressionist era, that most definitely would have been a finger or a closed fist and arm upped at the elbow.

14. I am glad they banned it!

I love chimpanzees and those intelligent creatures should NOT be maligned by having their images used to create a visage of that piece of shit!

In all honesty, this is sad. We are witnessing the death knell of the First Amendment. Everybody brush up on your German, it won't be too long before we will be saying "Seig Heil!" to our perfect leader, who is god-like and we should be thanking him for coming to save us! :eyes:

15. I'm with you

The poor little chimps are tired of being degraded.
