He is a race baiting asshole that figuratively spits on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Junior nearly every time he opens his mouth, but even broken clocks are right twice a day.

All right, look. I can understand that life lessons and good citizenship can be taught through the use of a cartoon character. I get that.
With that being said, Memin Pinguin is a racist caricature that insults people of African descent with his exaggerated physical features. He just does.
Now, maybe if the owners of this guy want to end this controversy, maybe they could draw Memin in a more conservative fashion. A sixty year old cultural icon can survive an art reboot.
It's things like this that piss me off... the simple refusal to compromise...
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
