ROME (Reuters) - Italy's Reform Minister Roberto Calderoli has had T-shirts made emblazoned with cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a move that could embarrass Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's government.

I have a tshirt that says,

"I heart HALLIBURTON"

and wear it proudly - but probably not in SF.

My friend has one that says,

"PETA - People Eating Tasty Animals"

and

There's plenty of room for all God's creatures.....right next to the mashed potatoes.

on the back.

 

But - liberals - however bizarre and weird - probably won't chop my head off for wearing these.

I have a tshirt that says, "I heart HALLIBURTON"

I have a shirt that says "Halliburton/KBR, LOGCAPIII Projects, Baghdad, Iraq."

I haven't worn it in the states yet, but I imagine it would chap some liberals. I'll make sure I DO wear it.

Xenalyte wore a shirt with "HALLIBURTON" across it real big to a Team We Suck session last spring.

I also like "Earth First - We'll Strip Mine the Other Planets Later."

You trying to get me killed with all these T-shirt websites? ;-)

[RightWhale]

This approach may work. If the cartoons are everywhere it will become part of the background and be ignored by all.

[Dashing Dasher]

No - I was giving you choices. Life is about choice!

I don't want you to settle on the first "anti-muslim murdering thugs" t-shirt you see.

I don't want you to settle on the first "anti-muslim murdering thugs" t-shirt you see.

True. I want to get the one that's just right for me.

And for my environment, of course.

Maybe the minister ought to put this cartoons on his t-shirt? People of the world need to be reminded. This cartoon sums it up so that everybody can understand. Well, except maybe for the stuck on stupid types. http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2006/02/cartoon-that-everybody-can-understand.html

So then you are saying the intimidation works.

No. Not at all.
I'm saying that waving a red kerchief in the face of an enraged bull is foolhardy.
And deciding to not wearing a t-shirt does not constitute capitualation.

There are far better ways of challenging someone's unquestioning beliefs. If that isn't the goal, then there are still better ways of dealing with such animals.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

But...but...I wanted to wear one around the town where I live.

Go for it. Could be a hoot. But watch your six.

"Calderoli, a member of the anti-immigrant Northern League party, told Ansa news agency on Tuesday that the West had to stand up against Islamist extremists and offered to hand out T-shirts to anyone who wanted them. "

God bless Signor Calderoli.

Deport all muslisms and other undesirable elements out of our Western Culture countries! Deport them NOW!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Of course, capitualation=capitulation.

I have severe FFS (Fat-Finger Syndrome).

"Recall the Italian Hostage who said:

"Now I will show you how an Italian dies..." Fabrizio Quattrocchi.

It was also reported that Fabrizio also spat at the faces of those who were about to kill him while saying those words. Of course the leftist MSM never reported this, not that I've seen.

Fabrizio, you will never be forgotten.

"And what are we becoming? The civilization of melted butter?"

Bump

Italians aren't the best soldiers for foreign wars, but they do have big brass ones.

Then again, maybe the former is because of the latter. "Never be in a fox hole with someone braver than yourself!"

"And what are we becoming? The civilization of melted butter?" Calderoli said.

He's got a big point there.

PETA (the eating kind) had great BBQ's at Iowa State. I had a few hats from them that I gave away to friends and wore to class.

Since I was known as a redneck type, a few of the granola people looked at me funny till they realized what PETA was on the hat (People for the eating of tasty animals). Most laughed, a few called me a murderer.

[Dashing Dasher]

My friend wears his shirt to SF all the time.

Most people smile until they read the fine print... then they yell....

"WOW! I'd be hiring a body guard, chop-chop."

I already have a body guard of the .45 caliber variety.

Those are hilarious!

Articulate little bast***s, aren't they?
Many of those are direct threats of murder arson and mayhem. I suspect hotmail and yahoo will be getting a few calls from the FBI...
