T-Shirt Hell Freezes Over
The internet's top store for tasteless, offensive, and occasionally, witty t-shirts has just decided to censor itself. The owner announces, with this press release, that the Worse Than Hell section of the store will be closed permanently. That's the section where fashion victimizers will find shirts making light of everything from The Tsunami to rape to gay-bashing to racism. I personally fancied the "Abortion Tickles" shirt from that category, but I guess there will be no more uterine flicking.
It's a sad day that even this bastion of bad taste will bow to the army of offended people. Being offended is not a medical condition, it's a state of mind. Tsunamis, rape, gay-bashing and racism themselves are the problem, t-shirts that say silly things about them? Not so much.
