An image stolen from another image is not that of Barack Obama, attorneys for the artist say. "Look at the lips. They aren't open and moving, thus it can't be Obama," said Johnny Cockrun, if the lips don't fit, you must acquit."
He also claimed that the image is that of Barry Soetoro, a Kenyan con artist, not that of
Barack H. Obama, President of the United States. "My client has never worn a brick red honky-folded tie, shown in the photograph and poster."
So much money has been made from illegal knockoffs that the IRS has said if collected in full, the taxes could restore the American economy twice over.
Collective behavior what it is now, when something is even close to cool, an artist will be able to ruin their lives forever. This has occurred with this artist's work. He now is serving 18 months for tax evasion, attempted murder and failing to smile or laugh at a Judge's joke during trial.
This sad story is indicative of why youth must not be creative or try to change anything.
