Josh Hawley is selling a “not a pro-riot mug,” which also is a copyright violation

I like how the product listing says “handwash only,” to which surely the response should be, “Ain’t no mug gonna tell me how to wash! That’s just Big Dishsoap talkin’!”

I think that’s how he meant it to be read

They just revel in their utter assholery. All to OwnTheLibz.

I don’t know if it was doctored or not, but I saw a flipped over mug, with “Made in China” on the bottom.

Me too, but Fairey created an iconic image and was clearly transformative, and who’s color design and technique was copied for years and years. The original photo was not memorable or iconic. Fairey made it so. In the case of the Hawley photo, the photo itself is iconic and memorable. The Hawley mug is just a pretty simple B&W high contrast treatment of the iconic photo. Not clearly transformative.

Maybe, but it just reads like a caveman running as an old school Republican: “Show me strong. Show me tough on crime. Other guy him ‘commie,’ me no know what commie is but it bad, and him say he no like America!”
