Man i really need to get me one of these. Hope they end up in the shop or somewhere else soon. Anyone know if the Bobby Brown artist has a site/shop anywhere like Klausen? All i could find were old sites that no longer exist.

I happen to notice this story is not trending as their 2nd most viewed story. Yet no where on Fox News is the PA attorney general report on 1000 children raped by priest over the past 50 years ( since the report came out yesterday you would think that is something they would be talking about ) Nor anything on the fact that the presidents own press security cannot guarantee there is not a tape out there of trump using the N-word.
Nothing to see over here folks lets just have some faux outrage over a poster.

This is food for the fox news base. Look at the liberals being divisive about our emperor trump. Now on to the “witch hunt” and how Clinton’s going to be indicted.
to me, that isnt even a "dead" body. Its just a metaphor for "liberty/democratic systems" to pick Trump clean, stripping him of all he holds dear for setting the white house on fire (figuratively). The intent of the artist isnt a literal dead corpse. In the plane of the artwork, Donald Trump is very much alive.
nuance isn't in Trump supporters vocabulary

I would love an official statement from the band along the lines of, “we haven’t given a shit about who we offend in our history as a band and aren’t about to start now.” Those who are offended need to explain why they are ok with an admitted sexual predator, a traitor and a racist who disparages the disabled, minorities and women every chance he gets but are offended by artwork. Pearl Jam did more with the Home Shows for the good of the country than that POS has or ever will do. You don’t even have to like the band to see that.
It's art and does not even come close to hate speech, so I can't believe anyone is getting mad about it (as Trump has biker buddies with Nazi tattoos over to the WH FFS). But anyway, if Kathy Griffin still has a career after the severed Trump head photo, lol, plus, you know, it's Kathy Griffin, I'm sure Pearl Jam will get through this unscathed, hahaha. And don't forget about Jim Carrey's new painting hobby, lol. This poster is still little league, really. I personally am not a huge fan of the poster in terms of aesthetics, but I really enjoy all the details, the humour in the out and out political blatancy of it all - it ain't subtle! Good job Jeff.

I don't have a problem with the art. The issue is the safety of us/the band at Wrigley and Fenway if this story blows up over the next few days. There are some bat-shit crazy people out there, last thing we need is terroristic threats cancelling the concerts over a stupid poster.

If people stop doing what they do for that reason, the USA is pretty much over anyway. I'd prefer cancelled concerts TBH.

So what do we have here: trump with Russia briefcase. 2nd amendment red neck? Alien smoking? Tester jumping a tractor. Alien crashed into monument? White house on fire. Some triggered by this?Anything I missed?
My only problem with the poster is the hammer and sickle on the briefcase, suggesting Russia is some communist country and Trump is some KGB agent. That's absurd and toxic McCarthyism that #TheResistance thinks is clever.

Aaah, it's kinda of like when you mix drugs and alcohol, sometimes it's a blast and other times you wake up and wonder who the fuck you are.

This is hilarious. All the right's awful depictions of Obama on things (that continues) but this is extremist and violent. Excuse me while I clean up the water I snorted out of my nose

Somehow, despite reading way, way, waaay too much news each day, I had no idea there was any controversy over this poster until just now. I could tell you about the fires here in California, the Manafort trial, the bridge collapse in Italy, random gunfire in Malibu, last night's elections, the latest in a long, sad line of stories about sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, and, G-d help me, Omarosa. But I had no idea anyone was worked up about a PJ concert poster.
I guess that's because I don't follow Breitbart or Fox News.
Now, Omarosa is Omarosa, and her credibility is and always has been rather... thin. But she's spot on when she says that the best way to handle Agent Orange is to starve him of his "oxygen" -- attention, esp. media attention.
The image of the back of the poster isn't loading on IG for me, so I can only go by what I can see of the front. I hadn't paid it much attention, since I wasn't inclined to put a bunch of skulls up on my wall. It's a bold poster. I'm not convinced that's supposed to be Agent Orange; the biggest indicator that it could be is the hammer and sickle on the briefcase full of money -- SO, are Fox, Breitbart, and MAGA Nation acknowledging that someone fleeing the White House with a pile of Russian cash is their guy? Hmm.
I assume someone has gotten Alex Jones to weigh in on the UFO? If anyone can tell us what's really happening in this poster, he can. /sarcasm
Art makes statements. Art is provocative. Art reflects our culture. This poster does all of those things. [Like the band, I am old enough to remember when Robert Mapplethorpe's photos caused widespread outrage. I also recall that there was an artist making depictions of religious figures from bodily waste.) If you prefer pictures of puppies in baskets or paintings of a much trimmer, more handsome rendition of Agent Orange hugging the flag or crossing the Delaware, fine, you do you.
Do I like the poster? It's interesting. It makes me wonder who that is on the tractor. I appreciate the statement I think the image is making. I think the people who are all worked up about it probably missed the point altogether, as someone already noted (a very good argument could be made that the poster reflects what Agent Orange is doing to the country, or what will happen if we continue down this path of polarization and overheated rhetoric). This feels like so much manufactured outrage to me -- and that's the biggest concern I have here.
We have ample evidence that Russia was and IS manipulating Americans through social media. But they only can succeed in manipulating us if we LET them. Folks, whether you are on the left, right, fringe, or center, you have GOT to engage your powers of critical thinking. Don't just start foaming at the mouth when you see outrageous headlines or trigger words. STOP. THINK. Think about what you are reading. Think about what you are seeing. Ask yourself, who shared or published this? Why?? Was someone sharing important information, or were they just looking to get a reaction? Why? Does it make any sense? If I really don't give a rat's ass about Pearl Jam, why am I taking to Twitter, Instagram, and PJ message boards to scream about how PJ is irrelevant and I'm never listening to them, ever?
Then, think about what you are saying. Why are you saying it? For what purpose? Does it make any sense?
And finally: I too find it interesting that the "F--k Your Feelings" crowd, out to "own the libs" and "trigger the snowflakes," keeps insisting that Ed and the band should make more of an effort to respect their opinions and make their views more welcome, and that people should be nicer to them. Laws, ethics, and etiquette really only work if they are applied equally to everyone.
See you in the front row at Fenway, looking forward to that intimate gathering of die-hards.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

I still don't see how that would work with the theme of the poster, but to each his own.
