In her police mug shot, the doe-eyed cartoon heroine with the bowl haircut has a black eye, battered lip and bloody nose.
Dora the Explorer's alleged crime? "Illegal Border Crossing Resisting Arrest."
Dora the Explorer is a children's cartoon character of indeterminate origins who speaks English and Spanish and teaches children the alphabet and Spanish phrases on Nickelodeon who has gotten dragged into the immigration debate, mostly because of this image (created, by the way, before Arizona passed its "everyone's an illegal" law).
The interesting points about the article are that it keeps mentioning that this image is being used by those supporting the Arizona police-state law, but never quotes any of them. The people it does quote couldn't care less about where Dora came from or how she got here.
Something to keep in mind for the next teapot: most people could care less.
Update:
Most people could care less -- except those who suddenly don't have workers. This is priceless.
Doncha just love it when a plan comes together? Pearce is a real bone-head.
