I don't know why, but I suddenly feel an urge to go varmint hunting.This deformed monstrosity sure is creepy looking, isn't it? I can't imagine it giving a young child anything but nightmares. What is it, some kind of mutated pederast woodchuck?
I also don't get how it's supposed to be "a positive role model for young black men." If this thing is supposed to be a representation, it's as patently racist as anything on exhibit at the Jim Crow Museum.
UPDATE: Apparently the gender-confused Tasmanian Devil with the lazy eye isn't Speedy--the character here is.
So what the hell is with the freak steroidal chipmunk, and why was it the illustration chosen for this story?

Of course not. You conspiracists. Anyone can plainly see they are penis heads.
" “I realised the potential of the character Speedy, which is probably the first positive role model for young black men,"
RIIIIIIIIIGHT, if THAT statement isn't racist as hell the word racist can officially be laid to rest as the redefining has been accomplished.
A soccer playing kid who makes fun of politicians, yeah, just the kind of hero the third world needs. WTF?! Quit paying attention to the US culture's generally apathetic approach to life and do something worthwhile with your soapbox you idiots.
Marx said religion was the opiate of the masses...guess he never got to witness professional sports. Bread and circuses....
Yeah, Hobbit, particularly considering "Speedy" creator Tim Mostert is white. I guess he thinks he's the only one who could create a positive role model for young blacks, what with "the white man's burden" to enlighten and all...
