I would think if anything it defuses any potential “hate” or “criticism”.. If we are all having a good time with it.. How can another school use it against us? It’s not like Anthony Davis has never looked in a mirror.. Or like he’s going to see this and say “wow, i do have a unibrow!”….. If it bothered him so much I’m sure he could fork out 5 bucks and run over to Posh and have it waxed or tweased….. Geeez
8- I have no problem with the brow thing. AD embraces that. But connecting him to a widely known psychopathic serial killer is a stretch. It’s ok for this site and I appreciate the great art work, but what happens if this goes viral? Do you think it will be positive news?
love that someone literally printed a picture of the unabomber, printed a picture of davis…..then cut out davis’ face, cut out the glasses, and glued them together.
Inappropriate. The entire thread should be deleted. I’m surprised Matt is the one who posted this.
Unabomber was a killer whose career spanned nearly 20 years, killing three people and injuring 23 others. His targets included Northwestern University, U of Utah, Vanderbilt U, UC Berkeley, U Michigan and Yale U.
What’s next? drawings that make him look like the VT shooter?
28 – I’d do that drawing if it made it hilarious, but there’s no pun to be had there.
How many times have you seen people make hilarious comparisons to Hitler? (MJ’s moustache comes to mind) And Hitler was considerably worse. It’s a joke, and hilarious, grow a pair.
30, 32 – so when are you going to submit your drawings of TJ & AD knocking down the Twin Towers in NYC?
Why don’t you simply “grow” and outgrow the immature attacks. Perhaps you were too young to experience terror attacks on campus. Perhaps you haven’t lost friends or family members in such events. Perhaps you’re just too insulated and immature.
Making fun of his brow and making him look like a serial killer all at the same time. Great idea. Doubt if Cal or UK admin would think its very cute though once it goes viral.
Hey!
Did you guys hear the one about the priest who played hide-the-salami with the 9-year old? It wasn’t kosher.
Hilarious!
Oh, c’mon! Where’s your sense of humor, Sandusky? Joe Pa?
Why so serious?!
While we all “get it”, i don’t think it’s appropriate. It’s bad enough some people want to treat his brow as a marketing ploy but tying his face to that of a sick, murdering nutcase is way overboard imo.
The responses to this post are a nice microcosm of UK basketball fans in general who see us as being on a pedestal compared to other programs. Sure we are blah, blah, blah, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun. I find it doubtful that this would have caused such a scene four months ago if Danny Trevathan was the “Unatackler.” Quit being so offended by something that is not offensive. The connection here is unibrow and unabomber. Don’t take it any further than that and quit trying to ruin other peoples’ fun.
Just for the record..I don’t support serial killing, bombing, wearing hoods with glasses, and having a unibrow. I do however support, Potty humor, comedy ,Misspelled words and University of Kentucky Basketball, Football, and Recruiting news brought to you in the most ridiculous manner possible.
It is the internet, no matter what you do people will take offense.
Whether you think it is funny or not (I do!), the only way it could honestly offend is if you and your family were directly impacted by the Unibomber. I’d say the cross-section of UK Fans/Unibomber victims is small enough that this image is harmless.
And I wouldn’t worry about it offending AD. The dude definitely knows he has a unibrow.
This is an awesome picture and it is comic genius. Great job C Ray. This has nothing to do with the unibomber himself and his acts. It’s about a composite drawing by the FBI that became well known among Americans and the nickname the UNABOMBER. Just because Anthony Davis has a Unibrow, he was given a harmless nickname that anybody that knows Anthony could have randomely come up with. So we call him the Uniblocker and make a job out of a FBI composite sketch? So the hell what? I think it’s so awesome I’m about to make 100 t-shirts and bet I sell everyone of ‘em!
#54 So, based on that logic anybody in America who didn’t have family directly affected(killed or injured) by the 911 attacks or OKC bombings should just say oh nevermind “me and my family is ok”? What an absurd comment! It doesn’t matter if the Unabomber took one life or 2000. He was a terrorist. He killed people with acts of terrorism. Its not funny and I don’t want UK associated with that monster in anyway. This has nothing to do with AD accepting the fact he has one eyebrow! #PointBlankPeriod
This was amusing for a few minutes when it was making the rounds on message boards last Friday.
I know one thing. I’d check with Davis before I got carried away with a nickname that calls attention to his brow and associates him with someone who successfully bombed UNiversities and Airlines (hence, UNAbomber). I’d guess that universities, with their effiminate, heightened and inflexible sensitivities, would particularly dislike this. That right there is probably the best reason to run with this–teach them some tolerance for personal expression.

High school kids may like it, but not to cool. Not a good connection for AD or UK. Why invite the hate and criticism?
February 6th, 2012 at 11:04 am
4) I don’t think anyone is calling him a criminal…
February 6th, 2012 at 11:06 am
JUst stick with “Browser,” better nickname and not offensive.

ComIng this March at an arena near you. Anthony Davis as “The Uniblocker”

February 6th, 2012 at 11:42 am
sorry guys, the drawing is funny, but the subject is not …
This is akin to the Miami football wearing camo and posing with guns on their team photo.
Not cool.

The only thing that offends me about this is that it is super lame. This is something I would expect a 12 year old to come up with.
