I just bought a "Ski Iraq" t-shirt! Ask me anything!

[Taverner]

[Xithras]

1. Why?

Planning a trip to the Zagros?

[Taverner]

2. I just find it funny

A nice little ironic statement....and to fuck with Freeper heads...

[matcom]

3. ummmm MY take is you just bought a freeper t-shirt

:shrug:

[Taverner]

11. IT'S IRONY!!!!

Why does no one here understand irony?

[matcom]

15. may be but if so, BAD irony

IMHO

[jonnyblitz]

4. reminds of those Club Gitmo t-shirts Limbaugh sells

tacky as shit but whatever..:shrug:

[SuperWonk]

5. Great T-shirt...

'my SUV loves Iraqi oil'...

Ha!

[matcom]

6. yeah, i am leaning twords offensive

:shrug:

[KG]

7. well, it least it's not tye-dye...

:eyes:

[Taverner]

9. Not really...

Its all about irony....

hence the "Jesus Hates Your S.U.V."

as well as

"Enjoy North Korea"
"Saudi Arabia:Sportman's Mecca"
"Discover the Magic... Iran"
"A Capital City! Washington, D.C."
"Gaza Strip Club XXX"
"It's Better in Syria"
"Aloha Kuwait "
"Wild And Free Pakistan "
"Come Back to Lybia"
"Israel: Why Settle?"

shirts they sell...

The thing about Club Gitmo is that those shirts are saying Gitmo is a country club, since they are fed 3 meals a day, etc....

These shirts have a different take...

[jonnyblitz]

12. your t-shirt makes Iraq sound like a ski resort.

it's so blatant

[Taverner]

13. But anyone watching the news knows its anything BUT

[jonnyblitz]

20. well I would peg anybody wearing that as a freeper

though i know you ARE NOT one. just my subjective opinion. :hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

8. I think that is a RW shirt.

Maybe you can return it and get your money back.

[Taverner]

10. Check out their site

Trust me, its not...

Does anyone here remember IRONY?

[Hobarticus]

14. I like the "Gaza Strip Club" one...

I'm pickin' up that irony.

[Taverner]

17. "Israel: Why settle?" Was good too

[Tyrone Slothrop]

21. A friend of mine in high school was in a band named

The Gaza Strippers.

This was back in the early 90s. Seemed like a clever name at the time. Also, I was in high school...

[Midlodemocrat]

16. Well, the site is definitely not RW,

but the shirts remind me of some of the shirts that some military guys were wearing here about vacationing in Iraq.

:shrug:

[SuperWonk]

18. Humor, people. n/t

[Midlodemocrat]

22. I don't think it is funny.

I don't think that a shirt that indicates that Iraq is a vacation spot is funny.

Sorry, that's just me.

:shrug:

[northzax]

19. I like the guantanamo one myself

23. Makes me think of a shirt I saw once

In the summer of 1980, I saw a guy wearing a shirt that had several holes burned into it, and it read, "Ski Mt. St. Helens."

[demily]

24. Billy wore that shirt on "Six Feet Under"

A few weeks back! Is that where you saw it?

(I think it's funny, dude. I'd say it's ironic with an absurdist twist.)

[MissB]

25. I think it is in-your-face kinda funny.

People know that no one in their right mind is going to ski in Iraq, because the country is a fucking nightmare right now. It's just a dig at that - all is not good for the Iraqi tourist industry.
