Decisions, decisions




What's funniest:
incest rape, statutory rape, or just plain old vanilla rape? Apparently these guys can't decide either.

Check out more "humor" shirts after the jump. And people ask why I'm a feminist...

Thanks to Andrea for the link.

Holy crap! Seriously, those are far from funny.

All of those shirts are in bad taste and are absolutely disgusting.

The people we should be wiretapping and following around are the people that buy these shirts.

I actually like *some* offensive shirts if the humor outweighs the offensiveness, but these are beyond the pale. Sheesh. I would say thanks to the guys who wear them, though, for giving us such an obvious head's up about what asses they are.

I doubt they are sellig well. if selling i doubt they are worn. people, any asshole looking forattention can make some t shirts and start a storefront on the net. A few scattered sick minds should not be used to judge the state of things.

I'm with cbahm on oking offensive but funny shirts. The second joke here was done by t-shirt hell with "I swear I didn't know she was 3!" Which I actually think is pretty funny...a subtle difference from crap t-shirt #2, but one that changes the joke to mocking the people making the excuses, not the act itself.

They also have "Rape is no laughing matter (unless you're raping a clown)."

All of the shirts are pathetically unfunny, and I do not applaud the cheap business ideas that are the basis for this stench.

There's really a philosophical question: which jokes are actually satire, and which are simply offensive? It doesn't take much to figure out that raping a 3-year-old is patently unfunny, particularly since there is no context. We're not watching South Park here. Any idiot who walks around in one of those shirts is simply contributing to a business that appeals to people who are still thinking they're the big man/cool chick for joking about taboo subjects. Read: Look, Mom, I broke the rules! Most of them are probably 15-year-olds who are scared shitless to wear the shirts but wanna seem cool.

Evann's idea is intriguing, but I fear that wiretapping would be wasted: I suspect these people haven't mastered the complete sentence yet. Let's not listen, and go do something else. I gotta go clip that toenail...

I reiterate: Target practice, anyone?

Come on guys! Lighten up!! Seriously

I would just like to point out that there are actually real live womyn out there who have survived rape and that to them it isn't a joke, or something to "lighten up" about.

Sorry, but there are some things that just aren't amusing in any capacity.

that is true. this shirt was created to get attention in the lowest way possible. It is dumb, offensive, but blatantly not funny. It is sad taht people stoop to this to make a buck. anyone wearing such a shirt certainly deserves to be spit upon, and so do its creators.

Tasteless T-shits are fine, particularly political ones ... but these are of an entirely different genre.

"I suspect these people haven't mastered the complete sentence yet."

I suspect you are correct!

holy shit, thanks for the link, those shirts are awesome! I think I'll order some tomorrow.

anyone know where I can get some date-rape? I'm out and having a hard time finding them :(

[0+|0-]  Tom said:

Yeah dude, those are the way to go. Like a wise man once said "women should be obscene and not heard".

Women are possessions. Use and abuse them before they dump you (and then procede to cut themselves out of grief).

LOL!

Fucking awesome!

Seriously, rape is no laughing matter. Be deadly serious when you rape someone =)

Yup, rape is serious business indeed. Exept if you use laugh-gas, or if you're raping a clown, ofcourse.

That shirt disgusts me. Some of the comments in this thread are pretty lame too. They make me forget my problems with feminists and sympathize with them.

Either you guys are really serious and are way sick, or you are trying to yank someone's chain. In which case you might as well put a sign on your head saying that was the best thing to do with your time, which is not sick, just sad

Girls, the point of the shirt and the site is to offend the weak minded. the point of the site in the eyes of the owners is to make money of course and up hold freedom of speech. This is an ideal that has been essential to the empowerment of women world wide. So at least appreciate it for that. It's sad that a shirt angers you and that you frown upon it like your patriarchal overlords have done when confronted with you in the past and even today.

"I suspect these people haven't mastered the complete sentence yet."

it takes a truly intelligent person so see through all the anger, meanness and brainwashing in the world and still get humor out of a magician throwing knives at jesus on the cross or a MUCH simpler JOKE like clown rape. Do you really not get a mental picture of some dude in a clown suit getting raped and ashamedly smile as a result???.... if you don't I feel bad for you, you missing A LOT of interesting things as a result of your shame, self-pity and close mindedness.
