Ok so listening to the radio this AM. There is some clothing line out west that made up some tee shirts with the World Trade Centers on them and the words Gotcha! Sears pulled the shirts.
I think we need to show the Gotcha clothing company some Arfcom love. Story here - http://www.fox4kc.com/news/wdaf-sears-sells-911tshirt-091210,0,5219829.story Let the games begin  |

Then, lets suppose a garment co. named "Fucked" started selling shirts with prints of your Mom on them, with the word "Fucked" underneath. Would that come of as offensive to you? Im not trying to stir up a big ol' pot of shit with you, Im just trying to "open" your eyes , and possibly make you see how the shirt might offend some. |

There's not much wiggle room for interpretation. I'd say it's incredibly dumb of them to not consider the consequences of such a shirt. |

Pretty much, if anyone watches the video and looks at the shirt, it looks like they just tried to piece together a random skyline in the background and used an image of the WTC, even then its a blue and white outline, not full color "hey look its the WTC" People need something to be offended by, it seems.

What, How many? Ehhh, make it 10 thousand. lol, screw it, if this is going to be a conspiracy, lets make it BIG... The shirt designers are radical muslim Al-Queda members, they're fashion cells operating in American and China to put barely visible offensive imagery on clothing, to subconsciously wear down Americans for the suprise muslim invasion that they're currently preparing in Mexico. We don't have much time, we need to nuke Mexico and waterboard the designers of this T-shirt to see how far this rabbit hole goes. I'm betting we'll find that this company is just a front for the BIN LADEN GROUP! Please spread this via email in all caps. |
