I wouldn't know what GCers and lurkers would and wouldn't do.
But I was moreso talking about "any publicity is good publicity." The designer knows his shirts are controversial and the effect he's looking for is to get people to TALK and REACT.

I think you might be giving him more credit than he deserves. I think he's just a guy filled with hatred trying to make a buck.

ok..let's start with this...
I think he's just a guy filled with hatred trying to make a buck = I think he's just a guy trying to make a buck.
Refer back to what I said about the man in Ga with the Curious George Obama shirts....
Just another person wanting five seconds of attention whoredom...tis all.
The 'slave' mentality would take waaaaaay too long to explain but suffice to say, you still have enough people that still look at minorities as 2nd class citizen...again...think that some of this plays right into the whole New Yorker article that we discussed elsewhere.

He made $70/ shirt. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little jealous.

That just goes to show you that there some dumb fucktards with money... Like stealing candy from a baby... I could use that crazy money myself and sell them a t-shirt that I wiped my butt with so that they can smell my chit...

I'm sure some dumb skank would think it was "art" and would buy it with daddy/ hubby's credit card.

I hope I'm not crashing. When I saw the shirt and the wearer, it just said to me, 'Please look at me, I need attention'.
