'I can't...I'm Mormon' T-shirts too hot

How about:

"I can't....I'm an aethist"

"I can't...I'm too liberal"

"I can't...I voted for Gore"

"I can't...the AFL-CIO hasn't told me how yet"

"I can't...My guru says it ruins my karma"

"I can't...my chakras aren't balanced"

"I can't...It makes me look like a liberal."

"I can't...under the protect of the Fifth Amendment"

"I can't...its not a legally controlling authority."

"I can't....Hillary won't let me"

Are you aware this implies you have already been drinking?

It implies no such thing. One may infer as much, but that's their gig.

As it goes, I have had enough. I've seen enough lives wrecked by alcoholism and addiction...but I don't go preachy on that count unless someone makes a deal about my not drinking.

"I can't...It makes me look like a liberal."

Or the famous John Kerry answer:

"I can't...but I could!"

I attended BYU for four years and worked at the school paper. Students there are just too sensitive for their own good. When I was at BYU, an ad in the school paper for a one piece swimming suit caused some to write to the paper to complain about the immodesty of the ad. I live in Nevada too, and agree with the shirt's designer...I use that phrase all the time, not because I want to drink, etc., but because it is a simple way to explain why I won't drink, etc. Everyone understands. Perhaps the offended students at BYU should spend their energies on some real problems. Some BYU students need a little Prozac.

Well if one MIGHT infer from that comment then it is one that could imply it.

If I could understand what you just wrote here, I might agree with it.

Silly politics. The shirts are fine.

I know, I'm female.

[AppyPappy]

It doesn't make sense. They mean "I won't". Of course they can.

[TwoWolves]

Speaking of not understanding, can someone explain that "bunny with a pancake on it's head" thing?

I can't...I'm Mormon

How about?

"I can't take a second wife...or third...or fourth... I'm Mormon."

Or, for the Charlotte Prebyterian-USA youth group volunteer just found guilty & sentenced to 5 years for disseminating child porn: "I can't...I'm just a (Pres) bit detained."

Or, for somebody dressed up as John D. Lee as a Halloween spoof: "I can't (massacre settlers)...I'm a Mormon bishop."

Here's one for Kerry:

"I'm Catholic, but oh, what the hell..."

If you want a really over-the-top example of being oversensivite, I have a story for you.

When I was at the University of Waterloo (early 90s) there was a HUGE blow up over a poster used to promote some sports related awards show/dinner/whatever. The poster showed two basketball players, a guy and a girl. The guy was standing up with a ball under his arm at his side, the girl was in front of him and to the side a bit, she was crouched down (like at the bottom of a deep knee bend) and a ball was on the floor in front of her. Both of them faced the camera, but the SHADOW of the girl's head fell on the crotch of the guy spaking a feminatzi crusade over it's supposed oral-sex/female servitude message. The University retreated and withdrew the poster if I recall correctly.

I usually keep my religion to myself. Everyone I work with can tell I am Christian by the picture of Jesus in my cube. I don't generally tell people I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon). I have never said I can't do anything because I'm a Mormon. People who ask me if I want a drink I tell them I'm allergic. That when I drink I break out. You know, windows, doors, and teeth. That usually stops any further offers of alcohol.
The LDS church is very conscious of their image and try to keep a low profile. If an ad just implies the wrong message, it would be pulled.

A picture of Jesus? Is it a photo?

[spiffy]

Some reportedly believed the woman modeling the T-shirt in the ad posed in an overly provocative manner.

May we see?
Please????

Amen

probably two weeks don't go by that we don't decline ads for the Daily Universe," he told the News.

Is this a double negative? Who does their PR?
