Flag burning no, Shirt burning yes!

June 5, 2003 6:18 AM

Ban flag burning, but encourage the burning of these shirts! There is something here to offend anyone. We all thought irony and cynicism were dead after 9/11, but here we find disrespect and horror of all kinds with themes like GONE FISTING, MAY THE HORSE BE WITH YOU, ALL I WANT IS PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST (and a blowjob), and SCHOOL SHOOTINGS TOUR 1996-2002. Burb, baby, burn!

They're so "horrific and "disrespectful" that you just had to post them right on the front of MeFi. What are you looking for, a bunch of us to say "yeah, johnny, you're right, these shirts are bad?"

Fuck that, I'm buying one now -- in honour of you. How about this one, or this one, or even this one?

Hey, I've never seen these before, how about you?

Anyone else feel kind of funy looking at that horse one?

No?

Neither did I.

I say any company that sponsors both Ernie's House of Whoopass AND the Stile Project makes for a fine front page post.

as lame as they are, I actually don't have a problem with these shirts because seeing them on people gives me a good idea of who is and isn't boring.

I respect the picture of Robert Smith in the 'This is My Clone' shirt. Definitely my top choice of what I've seen so far...

I just want someone to make a bumpersticker that says, "My other car is your mom."

I've been using their hassle-free Free email for about a year as my throwaway account for those "register at this site and receive our promos" situations. My address is [e-mail]

None of them offend me. I refuse to let my panties get bunched up over ideas or words. Tasteless, humorless..maybe. The only thing that might offend me is a personal attack.

Great story there on your user page, johnnydark.

I second DakotaPaul. Given the story on his user page, which seems to indicate a tendency toward violence-oriented, "Dear Penthouse"-quality fictional writing, either johnnydark's own sense of irony is DOA, or else this is the lamest troll I've seen a long time.

Anything that proclaims itself to be dark, isn't.
