I'm confused, why would someone be offended by this?

Also I think this would be awesome as an art print without the mock show stuff on it.

For the same reasons I'm offended by The Jersey Shore.

I wonder what tribe produces that show. Prolly the same guys who got beat down by italians while growing up in brooklyn. :lol:

PROTEIN MA! You're offended by the Jersey Shore show? Don't watch MTV donkey. To me, its kinda sad that people like that take themselves so seriously. I have cousins with a house in Cape May. I am not in the slightest but offended. But I guess they don't act like those dudes either.

I think the concept has more to do with the beloved and hapless "poster geek" spending all his money on posters and having nothing left to buy a soda for the babe on the beach.
It's very retro '50's meets Robert Crumb/Zap.

Without the poster reference the suggestion would be that she is a hooker. That might be mildly offensive in the context of promoting a poster show.
imo
Otherwise I don't see how the Jersey Shore or any other beach has any bearing.

And what are those reasons? I don't even know what Jersey shore is?

Unless it's just another case of America turning into a bunch of pussies where someone is constantly offended by something instead of just looking the other way like people used to do :roll:

Have a Merry Christmas everyone! Oh wait this is America sorry, Happy Holidays :roll:

she doesn't HAVE to be a hooker, she could be a snobby south beacher who wants an expensive frozen drink...

Technically speaking , it's $45 plus shipping , but I respect anybodies "nope" on this one. It a real stylistic departure for Welker.
Personally I think it's hilarious though.

I love it. I think it's a classic image.

I assume these will not be shipped until after the Mock Show.
