Although I don't know how the African American woman pictured relates to the tavern owner, the story does describe him as an "ultra-conservative." So whether or not the owner is black, his viewpoint probably differ considerably from what Obama's plans.

She's protesting it.

Yes, I think most reasonable people would perceive it that way...

The designer might not have intended it - but as always its context that defines the message.

Are they trying to say Obama is gay with the whole banana thing?

[MaRob 0]

So she is protesting it or selling it? Either way she's advertising...

I do find the funny side of it but im sure the % of people on here dont. And i aint a racist, just the way Scottish humour is.

No, I think it is trying to say that George may be "curious" for a reason
