How soon is too soon? And who cares? Bullet was my first favorite Misfits song and that image was never half as offensive as the lyrics of the song. I'm definitely a fan of wild inappropriateness and poor taste, so my vote is: inappropriate, thumbs up. Wildly inappropriate, terribly poor taste. How soon is too soon? And who cares?

I don't really 'get' the message, at least from how the creator described. Regardless, I think the people who were deeply troubled by the Kennedy assassination are fairly misguided--Kennedy was a mediocre to bad president during a time that also saw the institutionalized murder and oppression of far more relevant and morally guided individuals. While any loss of life is sad, I think its important to recognize that this guy lived a decadent life at the expense of millions of others. Bay of Pigs? First days of Vietnam? Either way you fall on this, they're are bigger things to get heated over right now. Obama's surge to Afghanistan anyone?

Dangerous? Maybe. Some people do illegal things like break traffic laws... but I don't think anyone can be arrested for organizing an alleycat, and I certainly wouldn't expect to get arrested if me and 20 of my friends decided to race each other around the block on foot. what is illegal about an alleycat anyways?

It's a well done graphic. The theme is slightly over the top for an alleycat. Let's not take ourselves too seriously here. And, I suspect there's nothing wrong with a 3 speed commuter bike. If one were to show up at my doorstep I would give it a loving home. “Great Art” is a bit of stretch. It’s a well done graphic. The theme is slightly over the top for an alleycat.
