Notorious Marietta bar parodied on MySpace

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Mulligan’s, the Marietta bar that brought shame on Georgia last year when its owner began selling t-shirts depicting Barack Obama as the cartoon monkey Curious George, has inspired yet another online parody.

Behold, Mulletguns:

We keep a mind-numbing stream of hateful garbage comin’ at ya, along with nasty food and piss beer. If you thought racism was dead, think again! We are the foremost in the racist dining experience! Don’t forget to try the Ku Klux Klams!

Gawker names Tennessee Obama column the country’s most racist

Monday, November 10th, 2008

In what is widely considered a colossal display of bad taste, Murfreesboro Post columnist Stephen Lewis has compared Barack Obama’s ascent to the presidency to the “movin’ on up” jingle from “The Jeffersons.”

Both Romenesko and Gawker have called out Lewis on his idiotic column. The Gawker post also alludes to a similar though unrelated display of alleged racism toward Obama, this one with Georgia roots.

Mike Norman exclusive: Interview with the (non)racist T-shirt guy

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

CL has followed the goings-on of Mike Norman, bar owner and T-shirt designer extraordinaire, with great interest in recent weeks. We were lucky enough to get a video interview with the man who became a person of national interest by selling T-shirts depicting Sen. Barack Obama as a Curious George look-alike.

Mike Norman was also interviewed by CNN but they failed to elicit the stunning insight into the cartoon monkey-lover’s mind that CL managed.
