Ignore This Message And I'll Send Fresh Ham To Your House. I Mean It.
Edited on Fri Sep-09-05 10:36 PM by Splatter Phoenix
I'm getting desperately creative. All right, here's the deal, guys. Every year or so around September I make a new shirt, beginning white, and writing small-yet-legible messages on the shirt, usually involving political and religious things (The old ones frequently become out of date--as in my "Failed to find WMD, Failed to find Osama, Failed to find Saddam"). It makes for excellent conversation, usually along the lines of "...fuck you." from my intellectual opponents. However, this year I am, as some know, in a different school from the last three years and am somewhat hesitant, lest I be opposed by some less-than-liberal teachers.

Thus, I want to make the messages non-religious and concentrating almost fully on Bush-bashing. However, subtlty is also the best part of valor, and thus I need things that are only bordering-on-extremely offensive. Any suggestions are welcome with open and desperate arms, these are the ones I have considered for right now.

(W)rong place, (W)rong time, (W)rong war, (W)rong reasons

Anti-W sign, with a slashmark through it

When Clinton lied nobody died
When Bush lied tens of thousands died

If you're not upset - you're clearly not paying attention

How much death proves incompetence?

You forgot Poland, and our Leader forgot the Gulf Coast

WWJB - Who Would Jesus Bomb?

Impeach, Indict, Imprison! (A classic)

A village in Texas is bereft of its idiot


Please, please, PLEASE supply me with some more, no matter how generic, I have to fill a shirt, front, back and sleeves.

1. Why don't you also let others write messages?
Let them know that they have to keep it clean and nonreligious but offer the option.
Keep a Sharpy or two (extra fine, different colors) and allow them to write short,one or two line messages. Even a message like "Impeach *" w/ their sig under it would be great.
Gets the message out and starts conversation w/ different people.

2. I'll tell you why.
Because I haven't met a single anti-Bushite here, and no doubt they'd write "BUSH ROCKS" on the ass part of the shirt. X_X

5. Keep your ears open.
I live in a heavily red county and they (anti *) are finally starting to come out of the woodwork.
You'd be shocked at who is antiChimp right now-especially the comments about Katrina.

7. Missouri.
Best friend is originally from GA (Dalton). She said that when she was there this summer she heard quite a few b*tching and moaning about the chimp-and this was before Katrina.

10. No prob.
She said that they were griping before this. Maybe throw a few messages about Katrina (even make the entire shirt about it) and ask people to sign messages about how frustrated they are over it.

12. Mm, I see it...
Katrina was the slap in the face that woke Sleeping America...Bush is accountable for so much more.

14. You could put statistics on your shirt
about damages and tolls. You could put a dateline on your shirt.
You could put quotes on your shirt from the survivors.

People will stop and talk to you about it.

3. Have you seen that
shirt Cindy had on?

It's a big W with a ? behind/over it.

***If you're not upset - you're clearly not paying attention***

This is probably the easiest one to "get away with" though

4. Yeah, I know, right?
"If you're not upset - you're clearly not paying attention" could mean anything from the government to the latest football game...XD

No, I haven't seen it, but it sounds interesting...

8. Here's a bunch from an email I received awhile ago
Bush/Cheney: Less CIA - More CYA
Bush: Putting the "con" in conservatism
Bush/Cheney: Asses of Evil
George W. Bush: The Buck Stops Over There
George W. Bush: It takes a village idiot
Support George W. Bush: Because Peace and Prosperity Suck - Bigtime
George W. Bush: Leave No Billionaire Behind
George W. Bush: Lies and videotape but no sex!

Here's a great quote from a DUer (don't remember who posted it, but I saved it):

Look, if a liberal is someone who wants clean air instead of subsidies for polluters, if a liberal is someone who thinks every child in America regardless of race, religion, or weath deserves a free quality education, deserves free first rate health care, deserves economic opportunities, and safe neighborhoods, if a liberal believes that our government should stop rewarding corporations for polluting and tax evasion and fraud and outsourcing jobs and stealing from electric ratepayers in California and stealing worker's pensions, then YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I'M A LIBERAL.

Hope this helps. :)
