> [@Marley23](#): > > It’d be like wearing an anti-Noriega or Khomeini shirt at this point. Hey, I still proudly wear my “Surf Libya” shirt (it has a picture of Khaddafi on a longboard being chased by a cruise missile). Our senior high-school class made these in '86. ---

> [@David Simmons](#): > > It certainly could be ironic. I once saw a big poster in a Marine Captain’s office in the Pentagon during the Vietnam war. It read, more or less, “Join the Marines. Get superb training. Travel to foreign countries. Meet many interesting people. And kill them.” I have a T-shirt with a picture of Darth Vader on it that says “I WANT YOU for the Imperial Forces. Travel to exotic, distant galaxies, meet a wretched hive of scum and villainy, and disintegrate them.” ---

I’m bumping this thread because I actually have something pertinent to add to it. For Christmas this past year, I gave my wife a page-a-day calendar that features a different bullshit political quote every day. Today’s quote: > [@Ernest Hollings](#): > > You should draw a mushroom cloud and put underneath it, ‘Made in America by lazy and illiterate Americans and tested in Japan.’ Hollings is a former Senator from South Carolina, and he made this statement when addressing factory workers in 1992. So I guess this answers my question of who would come up with such an idea: an elected official! Of course! ---

Along these lines, I have seen three times, on three different (!) pickups in the last week a sticker that says, charmingly: My other toy has tits (_)(_). Complete with line drawing and all. The only thing in my entire life that has made me (briefly, and not seriously) consider an act of road-rage. Actually, what I really want to know is who has sex with that guy after seeing that sticker? ---

Way back, once upon a time, I worked at a bicycle shop and we sold t-shirts that said “Nuke 'em till they glow and shoot 'em in the dark”. In glow-in-the-dark letters. With skulls. Yes, glow-in-the-dark skulls. Skate punks really know how to raise people’s hackles. 😃 ---

That’s right up there with the c. 1980 bumper sticker, “Nuke the gay Iranian whales.” Or, more recently, the T-shirt that showed a squadron of F-117s on the tarmac along with the words, “Can Osama come out and play?” ---

Nuke the whales. Humor. It is a difficult concept. 🙂 ---
