Scroll down to the posting by MemphisTigerPawr. He says he found a Johnny Jones doll for sale, a Curious George doll!

I'm going to be ill

They do have the same hairline!

It's all in good fun... I'm sure there was nothing "racist" behind it.

EDIT: On the other hand, the Tigers are eating their young over that.

I guess it is pretty bad when people from Memphis find something racist.

The poster who posted that one is really an ok person. I am sure he did not intend it in the manner it is being taken, but it was unthinking and stupid on his part.

C'mon, Get your head out of the sand. I'm not one to throw the "R" word lightly. I usually give someone the benifit of the doubt. But in historical perspective and in our society, you CAN NOT compare a black man with a monkey without racist overtones.

TxTiger posts that he's an OK guy, allright I'll give the guy the benifit of the doubt, I've been know to do some stupid and unthinking things in the past. But I judge people more by their actions than their words. MemphisTigerPawr posts some Christian words but this action is speaking louder. Until I see this guy post an apology you wont convince me different.

What a pity such a great week has take such an ugly turn!

UPDATE: Looks like after the reaction of some on that board the moderators have deleted the posting. This wasn't a case of some over sensitive North Texas fan making a fuss, their own fans were calling for deletion.
