Was out grocery shopping a little while ago, and saw a t-shirt that really raised my hackles. I’m a non-confrontational person, so I didn’t ask the guy what kind of statement he was trying to send about himself or his politics, but it just kind of gave me the willies. With large letters superimposed over a screen of a mushroom cloud, the shirt read:
**MADE IN AMERICA
TESTED IN JAPAN
NEXT STOP: AFGHANISTAN! **
Isn’t there enough aggro in the world without that type of ham-handed warhawk posturing? I didn’t feel strongly enough about it to start a Pit thread, but I thought I’d share, nonetheless.
I suppose it could be ironic. I’d have thought that a guy wearing this shirt would feel like a complete tool, since the war there is over [you know what I mean] and clearly nobody is being nuked. It’d be like wearing an anti-Noriega or Khomeini shirt at this point.
Inasmuch as you wouldn’t wish your right to espouse peace and diplomatic solutions abridged, don’t you think he’s entitled to show his preference for the scorched earth method? Ya know-First Amendment, and such.
Reread the OP. The message communicated by the shirt was obviously quite upsetting. In my previous post, no one was accused of attempting to ban the shirt-my post was intended to convey a different viewpoint.
Someone told him once that they tested the A-Bomb on Bikini Atoll and every time he sees a full-bodied gal on the beach walking by, he commemorates the event by yelling " BOMBS AWAY !! "
Appears this jerk has a wee bit too much testosterone running through his cammo’s…
But an anti-Khomeini shirt works on any ayatollah. Ayatollah Nakhbadeh, Ayatollah Zahedi. Even as we speak, Ayatollah Razmada and his cadre of fanatics are consolidating their power!
