I always thought that bobbleheads were meant to be caricatures. I am not sure why this one was rejected.

The raised fist looks spot on, to me.

So, today it’s racist if a bobble head has the same colored skin as the person. Well, alrighty. Next time make them all green or would that be a racist slight to Martians?
Cool shades!

Why were they distributing bobbleheads for a PED cheat?

"My personal reaction was it was offensive and, to me, kind of appeared racially insensitive. I just had a bad reaction."Yeah, it is all about you and your feelings, isn't it, Kennedy? Did you think about showing it to Ortiz and let him make the decision?
There is a reason why those of us in business doing custom work produce prototypes first and get them signed off before putting them into production.

Foul-mouthed PED cheat...uses the f-word in front of children. That’s cool in Red England.

Ortiz in the black power salute is too much. He’s not about that.

Okay, I can't figure this one out. What is racist about this bobble head figure? Really, someone help me out here.
So many things are racist I can't keep up.
