I don't hate the fact they are selling it, it's the fact anyone would even think of it.
why wouldn't anyone think of it?

perhaps you ARE a bit too P.C. to me, there's a lot of shit in this world that's more offensive than that t-shirt, jokes about the holocaust and racial jokes. People being killed for their beliefs is apalling(sp?). People being enslaved is horrible. People being held against their will for being from a certain country or belief structure, etc. these are the things to get angry about, not what someone has on their t-shirt.

get angry about the fact that there's a fucking PETA, but no PETH(umans). There's a "GreenPeace", but where's the "PeoplePeace"?

People get off on these ideallistic ventures thinking that they'll make the world a better place by saving the planet or animals, or by not hurting someone's feelings. The bottom line, your feelings don't mean shit to a crack baby or a kid in foster care because his parents didn't want him.

Seriously, get off of your overly-sensitive "this is offensive" high-fucking-horse and spend your time worrying about something a bit more substantial.
Hey mister high horse this is a discussion board, I posted a topic for discussion. The topic was 'humor' not the woes of the fuckin world. I never said a shirt was more or less offensive/important than 'real' problems in the world.

Talk about high horse, dude have you been fucking froy sloppy seconds?
I get soooooo excited when afrika gets idealistic, it makes me sooo hot!!!
I got off on a bit of a rant there, sorry. But I think my point was essentially why commit the energy of being offended to something so trivial.

When I saw the shirt, I chuckled and then felt like maybe I shouldn't be. But, I didn't post a thread about it. Again, I understand why you posted the thread, but I think the tangent is more interesting (of course it would be to me, since I brought it up).

The fact is, there shouldn't be a line. If you don't like it, you shouldn't buy it/listen to it. If you don't want your kids to hear/have it, keep it from them. The world is a big scary place, you'll see things a lot worse than that t-shirt about.
I say let people wear and say what ever they want.
But if someone punches your teeth out for wearing it don't blame them.

I understand what you are saying afrika, I am in no way saying that something as trivial as a shirt is gonna be the downfall of society or mankind. It was just a topic of discussion, I like your rants anyway.

Naturally there are children dying on a daily basis in 'wars', there are people dying of diseases, there are people who are suffering all over the world. A t-shirt is the most trivial thing of all, it's not even a blip on the radar. But this discussion was about humor in general, when does it just become not funny and plain old shock value for a chuckle at the misery of others.

I just wish I could find someone wearing that shirt and go shaolin on them and release some of this sexual angst, ladi won't put out.
That would be one crooked-assed line.

ladi doesn't put out for you?
