I need serious input... would YOU buy and WEAR this T-Shirt? *REVISED*
Edited on Tue Oct-03-06 04:45 PM by Rosco T.
(note to mods... there are FAR WORSE images on Cafe Press already on this subject... this is tame compared to what's there)

Still a work-in-progress, having to re-draw the logo to make it look good at 2000x2000 pixels. Will the original artist please PM me so I can make sure you get a cut, assuming I go thru with it. Someone this morning said that I should modify my original "What Are They Hiding" stickers/shirts to say "What Else.." and this jumped out of my head...

*not for sale... yet*



revised based on comments..

1. No. I think it would offend any fence-sitters
although it would amuse some (not all) Dems.

7. Go to the Cafe Press Market Place and put in 'Foley' for a search term...
.. one of the first ones is a Pink Elephant with top hat and tails, and the text "HEY KIDDIES, JOIN THE GOP - GRAND OLD PERVERTS"

3. Nope
I see the point, and it's a good design, but I like being able to walk around without getting punched or sworn at.

I live in the south.

4. It's a little much for me.
I mean, I like the message, but I don't want to get attacked on the street.

6. Hell yes, I'd wear it.
Edited on Tue Oct-03-06 04:07 PM by greyl
I don't think it needs the text on the bottom, however.

edit: btw, I live in southern Virginia, where at least one of my neighbors has a confederate flag on their golf cart. (they don't use it for golf, just for local transportation)

10. I wouldn't put the text on it. It associates the activity with the
Democratic party, even with the GOP logo.

12. I second that emotion. Drop the text below the logo that refers to
Democrats.

14. Not a chance.
pedophilia is not funny and shouldn't be used in this way.
Big distain for the big elephant, too much sorrow for the little one.
who is really going to be more offended and hurt by this graphic?

33. I agree -- pedophilia is not funny.
And if this hit the press, it would do us no good.

16. You can always tell inquiring children
that the smaller elephant is sick and mommy elephant is pushing it to the vet's office. (Had to get that one out of my system). I do agree with you - I would not want my children asking what it's about.
