WHITEHORSE - An artist in Yukon who created pictures of playing cards mocking the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush has been told he can’t sell them on EBay – and received death threats for even trying.Dawson City artist John Steins had his listings removed from the U.S.-based Internet auction site late last month, ostensibly for violating its “Faces, Names and Signatures” policy.
The policy prevents selling of a person’s likeness without his or her permission.
Steins, however, believes the move was made because of complaints from angry EBay members.
He has created a parody of the White House’s deck of cards featuring its most-wanted Iraqis.
In the linocut deck – which he calls the “Axis of Weasels” – Bush is the ace of spades. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is the queen. Vice-President Dick Cheney is the deuce.
Steins is undeterred by either EBay or the hate mail he has received.
“I think an artist has to use their talent to make a statement that they really believe in, though it might be really unpopular,” he said.
Steins has registered his own Web site – www.thebushadministration.com – where he’s posted the images for sale, along with email from supporters and detractors, and his correspondence with EBay.

I thought somebody came out with those already.

Well, first, it’s the Pentagon’s deck, not the White House’s.
There was the 55 Most Wanted Deck(maybe not the official name.) Then came the original Deck of Weasels(liberals who disagreed[politicians, diplomats, actors, etc.) by Newsmax. The last big item deck out there was the Deck of Hillary(also by Newsmax.)This deck of Weasels is an attempt to profit by piggybacking on a better known item’s name. I was not impressed by the artists work. I’ve seen better pictures of the GWB Administration on the editorial pages
