Controversial drawing of Karen...

[Rick Henry]

Here's something interesting sent to me by a friend...

It contains a controversial drawing of Karen. The song "Superstar" is mentioned somewhere in the middle of the article with a short soundbite of the song.

Some may take this as a slur on Kare... but really it's just another sign that Karen Carpenter is well remembered and loved.

Am I missing something? Is there a link or is this a part of something else?

Oh silly me... I forgot to add the link...

Here is the link... I am also going to edit it into the original post.

Speaking of controversy, I have worried that my book will cause some added fuel to the fire. A transsexual kid who names himself Karen after Karen Carpenter, and how he "plays solitaire" while listening to their music. i'M Afraid that Richard Carpenter might go after me and rip me a new one if he ever found out about "Awakening From Broken Dreams."

Here's another somewhat controversial drawing of Karen done in 1989 when the TV movie "A Song For You: The Karen Carpenters Story" was being shown.

It was on the cover of a magazine called "Film Threat"...

The picture is a mockery of Karen Carpenter... which is very sad that some people feel it's humorous to make fun of others... but this is a reality.

Anyway I suggest that if pictures like this upset you that you do not click through to view it.
