1. Great!

[SheltieLover]

2. Good!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Yay for that photographer! I hope he gets the money.

Those people are tasteless and outclassed by nearly everyone. Disgusting.

[malaise]

5. I hope they don't pay and he sues them for more

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. Oooooh, I like your idea better, my dear malaise!

[gopiscrap]

12. totally agree

[Dustlawyer]

40. They will sue the photographer, just wait for it.

That’s what their ilk do. They give the rest of us a bad name.

[Ferrets are Cool]

4. Good. It's copyright theft. They are lucky. If taken to court (like THEY do to everyone) it could be

$57K.

[iluvtennis]

28. Good. nt

[Sherman A1]

6. K&R

[C_U_L8R]

8. They got off cheap

But Baby Jesus is pissed.

[stillcool]

9. A Christmas card

that is so tacky. Not only the picture itself, surely they can clean up better than that, but guns for baby Jesus?

[Escurumbele]

14. Right, and then they become offended when called deplorable

Nothing like a gun and a rifle for Christmas joy...Ho Ho Ho

[central scrutinizer]

24. Nothing says peace and joy to the world

Quite like an assault rifle and a semiautomatic pistol

[icwlmuscyia]

26. and although it doesn't show - aimed at people of a different race

peace on earth, goodwill to men

[Hermit-The-Prog]

36. ... and she has her finger on the trigger -- a sneeze away from shooting somebody.

[Bev54]

10. Sweet!

[3Hotdogs]

11. WaDaFuk !!!

They was only standing their castle... just like any good 'merican.

[onethatcares]

13. WTF

kind of people would use that as a christmas card photo?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

15. Especially with a mustard stain on her shirt.

[crickets]

16. If nothing else, the Christmas card points to the false and frivolous nature

of the McCloskey's lawsuit against the same photographer, claiming the picture 'ruined their lives.'

I hope the case is dismissed and the photographer collects the $1,500 and compensation for all legal fees.

[Bmoboy]

18. some people ...

... find something that they "are good it" or "feel good from doing it" and they not only don't want "it" taken away, but they want to do "it" in public any time they want.

And Merry Weaponized Christmas to all!

[Hotler]

17. They need some liberal love. send them "Happy Holidays" cards

[warmfeet]

19. I hope to meet them in the woods,

while I am hunting.

[TygrBright]

20. ahhh, free enterprise and intellectual property protection. SO patriotic! LOLOLOL.... n/t

[Denvermosaic]

21. They're Rupublicans, they're entitled to free stuff.

[3catwoman3]

22. A Christmas card?!

I’m not even remotely traditionally religious, but this feels blasphemous.

WWJD?

[icwlmuscyia]

27. a Christmas card showing them aiming guns at people with Jesus' skin color

[TeamPooka]

23. Now when they don't pay the bill they get sued or counter sued

Since the couple is already suing UPI and the photographer

Now there is leverage to negotiate a dismissal of the suit a couple has brought

[JDC]

25. They are such a nice couple.

[StClone]

29. Funny Aerosmith didn't charge nuth'n

37. Copyright doesn't work the same way as trademarks. ...

There is a "fair use" clause in copyright, while trademarks have to be defended to remain valid. Aerosmith might not object to "Karen's Got A Gun" and that failure to object would not weaken their copyright on the original. Even if they went to court, the usage might be found to fall under fair use.

30. Apparently Mrs. McC never got the memo about horizontal stripes...

[Cha]

31. KR!

[Martin Eden]

32. Christmas card? How effin sick is that??!!!

Who would JESUS shoot???

[GETPLANING]

33. Foreclose on them

File a lien on their assets, hire the worst ambulance chasing collection agency there is, let them keep whatever they collect.

[rumleyfips]

34. Guns not brains

Isn't early November a bit early to send Xmas cards ?

[Paper Roses]

35. Bravo! n/t

[dalton99a]

38. Kick

[ailsagirl]

39. It's still so tragic to me that those cretins are full-fledged Americans

We have so many to thank for that, mainly Gingrich and Reagan and all the other myriad crackpots.

What it comes down to is a plot to overthrow America.

41. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

... *deep breath* HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
