Sydney based t-shirt designer, GoatBoy, is copping flack for selling shirts with slogans such as ‘She’s Dead – Get Over It’ and ‘Kings Cross Police Now Targeting Fat Chicks.’
Eva Cox from the Women’s Electoral Lobby told the media that the t-shirts are tasteless, crappy, crass and stupid and if people want to be seen as tasteless, crappy, crass and stupid, they’ll wear the shirts.
Young Media Australia and a monarchist professor also criticised the slogans.
But GoatBoy, which is run by two mates, points out on their website that if anyone gets offended by their designs, they are wasting their righteous indignation on a bloody tshirt, when they should save it for something that actually matters.
“Like the insane war in Iraq, and the coming one in Iran.”
Too right. If you don’t like it, don’t wear it. Unfortunately, groups like YMA would prefer to decide not only what we can and can’t see, but also wear.
