These people didn't seem to mean anything bad in their intentions. Since they have received threats of all kinds, it's probably wise to shelve the product.

Also, why make fun of the things that Utahns choose to do instead of going out and getting drunk? No one criticizes your hobbies, so don't criticize theirs.
Chill out. There is a whole lot more of that kind of humor going around back here.
So after all this time, you have not LOOKED at Obama and noticed he does not have the big red lips your toy does? He's not the piccaninny caricature you see when you see ALL blacks? OK, we got it now.
So now, you have a "new opportunity"? Let's see - same toy, but teamed up with some right-wing news site?

(thinking so far, no one's fully read the article)
disingenuous or the height of inconsiderate insensitivity reflective of the lack of awareness of anything outside of the limited social network many from utah have. we have people complaining about international studies in our high schools, so that our youth can learn that although we in america have one of the greatest societies in the world, we are a minority whose world view is not the only one, and then they wonder why utah is seen as america's northern ozarks when this kind of thing is considered "a temptest in a tea pot" by so many.
A monkey can also represent stupidity (hence its use for depicting George W. Bush or local Utah politicians).
Nawwwww!
Wake up, Lawsons! You are an embarrassment to Utah and (most) Utahns!
It would probably be pointless to tell you to quit while you are ahead, since you are so far behind (the times, the 8-ball, etc.)
Just more of what we have to look forward to--don't criticize President Obama, that is racist, just like its unamerican to criticize the Bush administration.
