I recieved a Yahoo! Daily Wire in my e-mail today. Five links to interesting websites, and a quick synopse of them are given. Well among these was a particular link to a site advertising "t-shirt hell". Looked interesting so I clicked, and saw a t-shit saying, "Bin Laden is a big fat doodiehead", which was worn by a man with a blue wigh.
Okay, not to bad, I enter and scroll down. I was appalled to see such things on these t-shirts:
" IF YOU'RE ALREADY THIS CLOSE
WHY DON'T YOU JUST SUCK MY DICK?"
" SCHOOL SHOOTINGS TOUR
1996-2001 T-SHIRT
Coming soon to a highly repressed rural middle school near you (Only shootings with fatalities listed). "
"HOMOSEXUALS ARE GAY!
T-Shirt Hell in no way promotes or tolerates hate or prejudice. We hate you and are prejudice towards you if you believe otherwise." (I believe otherwise, so be it.)
"ABORTIONS TICKLE!
The great potato state of Idaho averages 17.2 illegal abortions yearly. That number is growing steadily."
"ANOREXIA IS PHAT!
1. Intense fear of weight gain.
2. Distorted body image
3. loss of 3 consec. menstrual periods."
"I COMMITED SUICIDE
Since you have made it this far, you deserve a reward. I think you should reward yourself by giving yourself a gift. The gift you will give yourself is a coping resource."
I do believe in the first amendment, so yes, this company can display what they choose and I cannot stop them by law. More the question of weather or not these slogans should be on the shirts, is if a major media company such as Yahoo! should advertise such things. Keep in mind that minors recieved the same e-mail and link from Yahoo!, which is perfectly legal by the way.
GIMMIE YOUR OPPINIONS.
