Wolfowitz on the beach This is dark humor but I think it's spot-on. Other great forms of agitprop within.

Hmm. It's either not dark enough or not humorous enough to impress me. Seems worthy of a master's-degreed barista's exquisitely upcurled lip, I suppose, but doesn't strike me as "great agitprop." Maybe generational.

I'm not sure how these qualify as agitprop or particularly dark humor. Seems more like dopey, faux-provocative (fauxvocative?) stuff you'd buy at Spencer's in the mall.

Guessing the Dark humor here -Some say The Garden of Eden was in Iraq. Don't think Iraqis feel their current country is paradise or "Life is a Beach"[the shirt's picture].

Yes, thom, we get it. It's just not very good.

I'm throwing down the "Pepsi Blue" flag here.
Not much imagination here (take stock "vacation T" designs and add a 'controversial' location name), just stuff for sale.
