Is this t-shirt offensive?
If you've heard about McCain laughing at the woman calling Hillary a bitch, you may have been angry at first,as I was. But then I thought, why not coopt the word and make McCain look like the idiot he is? So I made this design, and now I'm not sure if it's funny, empowering or offensive. Comments appreciated.

14. But it reinforces the "meme", that Hillary is a b****. I don't want to reinforce that.

I'm mostly asking for opinions, though.

3. I would personally be proud to wear it, but I also think many
would be offended. I entered the workforce in 1960 and not only did I have to be a bitch, but I had to be one of the guys to succeed. I was, and I did! But today, many people can't see that.

5. Bad idea.
Maybe if you put McCain's pic instead of Hillary's.

9. It certainly doesn't add anything to society.
It's not funny.
It's got nothing going for it. Probably will have a negative effect.
My vote is to ditch it.
Cheers

16. Depends on the demographic
If it inspires the slacker young adults of the New Millenia generation, then fine.

Course they are a rather savvy group...

Nah, scrap it.

Offensive.
