CafePress? I thought it was going to be Snorg or T-Shirt Hell or wherever it is dumb kids get their annoying pop-culture shirts with Nintendos on them.

Or Abercrombie & Fitch, at least.

That t-shirt looks like it was made in MS Paint.  At least this one looks nice:


I'm not a chicken,  you're a turkey.

Ew. Buoy. It was forwarded to me by a friend who's RSS feed is apparently behind.

But hey, that means the t-shirt creator let even LESS time pass before making his joke. Grrrrr.

I think the Anne Frank t-shirt is funny but disturbing, whereas if it were a picture of, say, Jane Austen or Virginia Woolf, it would merit a laugh. That other tshirt is abominable.

Agreed. The creator is deep, deep, deep in Michael Richards territory.

this is all the worst. between madoff, the hamas bombings, and tom cruise in an eye patch, we've had better PR times. and none of it is funny.

PS. i REALLY want to give that guy "modeling" that anne frank t-shirt a breakfast of my fist and his own bloody teeth.

Does the Anti-Defamation League do real work or just scold people for making tasteless jokes?

I was all "Fred, are you sure about this?"

He was all "It's been long enough. Also, there is no evidence that the Holocaust actually happened."

Trust the pros, I guess.

I don't find it offensive, but I don't think the shirt is offensive.  It's not funny, but not offensive (the shirt)
