What I wouldn’t give to see a gaggle of ironizing angst-monkeys wear a shirt like this into a pub that caters to NY firefighters or policemen.
Not because I’m into bloodlust or neohipster pulping, mind you—rather, because I get a kick out of watching drunken twenty-somethings with pee-stained pants trying to sprint through tight alley ways.
All the shrieking and crashing into garbage cans cracks me up.

Edgy! Brave! Meta!
Seriously, though, some dudes need a good ass-beatin’. This puke is one of ‘em.
I prefer the work of crimethinc. The copy isn’t that great, but I think there’s a better match between the copy and the image.
I prefer the “What Would Mohammed Do?” shirts at Cafe Press (can’t find the link right now). Maybe we can get some of the Colbert bravery squad to where them to mosque on Friday.
Anyone who’s too good to shop at Wal-Mart is too loathesome to be trusted with national defense.
Turing = service, as in Put that beer down, get your stale retro-punk carcass back onstage, and entertain me, dammit! You think I’ve got all night to listen to you quoting Harold Pinter?
Is it just me or do those guys look exceptionally French?
I wonder where he got the pink NASCAR hat.
Good question. Where’d you get yours?
It was one of those truck stops. Bear crossing. If you know what I mean.
I’d just like to point out that “making for the horizon” on the surface of a sphere tends to leave you running in circles…

Similarly, though I’m opposed to oulawing flag-burning, I’ve always wished the torchers had the cojones to light up Old Glory in front of a VFW on Saturday night.
Now that’s speaking truth to power!
I’m simply in complete awe.
Complete.
Awe.
BUSH LIED! NEW YORKERS DIED! (at least that’s what the t-shirt my liberal girlfriend’s wearing says)
My money is that the “pink” nascar hat is one more way this guy is trying to pick a fight with any conservatives that he sees out. Combine the hat with the shirt and the “gloves” and my opinion is, this guy is desperately attempting to parody what the left considers a traditional “conservative”.
Either that, or he’s just a punk.
That guy doesn’t look to me like he should be picking any fights.
You’re not a good person, are you?
And for the rest of you, did you miss Jeff’s little two-step around the actual advocating of violence? Maybe you couldn’t hear the subtlety over all of the grunting in here.
Why would any self-respecting moonbat be wearing a NASCAR hat? Although the pink is appropriate. Or should it be red, with a yellow hammer and sickle perhaps?
I’ll take grunting over drooling any day of the week.
the left defends violence when Muslims riot and issue death threats over cartoons or French youth riot because they’ve made themselves completely unemployable.
so by the same logic, if taunting NYFD people with this cartoonish t-shirt resulted in violence upon the wearer and illustrator it’d be OK right?
Maybe they could burn a embassy down, set some flags on fire (never mind whose flag.. or whose embassy… it isn’t the accuracy that is important… it is the outrage).
The left would nod their heads sagely at the underlying social oppression that drives their behavior and forget about the whole episode… right?
I’m a horrible person, dave. After all, if you can’t be tolerant about people who make puerile political statements out of the deaths of 2700 people, what business have you even breathing?
What’s funny, of course, is that there is that the shirt is itself very much apart of the capitalist system it criticizes. BUY YOURS TODAY!
Gee, Dave, here’s hoping you stick the landing dismounting your high horse. But I forget, sanctimonious twits like you never get off it. As for Jeff’s “little two-step”, put me down as willing to pay good money to see a preening little “brave” monkey like this get his face rearranged by a member of either the NYPD or FDNY. He’s practically begging for it. Not that he has the stones to wear it anyplace but hanging around his other “edgy” pricks in some nightclub.
Hard as I try, I can’t find ONE thing funny or cool about the twin towers burning. NOT ONE FUCKING THING.
That’s whats great about punk. Something for everyone. Nobody walks away unsatisfied.
Actus is definitely the go to guy on what it means to be a punk. He learned all about in summer camp when he had to clean his bunk buddies lockers before they would let him rub lotion on their naughty spots.
“World Trade is a Death Machine.”
Yeah.
Marlboro light, Miller Lite, both made by one of the largest multinational firms in the world.
Hat? Almost certainly made in a sweat shop in asia. Probably Bangladesh.
Shirt? China.
Gloves? You get the picture.
Oh well, just one more stanky little poseur.

Got any kids? (lord, I hope not, but I digress)
For parents who take parenting seriously, one realizes – several times over – there is only so much “warning” you can give the kidlets. When they gleefully tempt fate, sometimes you have to let fate have a poke back.
I lay you odds this obnoxious male young’un was a pampered, snotty, do-no-wrong youngster who never scraped scraped a knee or elbow trying to prove mom or dad wrong that his redwagon can’t make the corner at the bottom of the hill without spilling him headfirst onto the asphalt.
Pity.
In any drinking establishment I inhabit, he might get the beer in his hand, but he would never get to enjoy it.
Oh…obligatory ignore acthole comment.
Defending the indefensible. It’s just what we do.

The Nasty Western Left
Can’t be, nobody here but us chickenhawks.
He’s free to wear the shirt. Others are free to punch him in the eye. Whats the problem? As long as it doesn’t end up as a mob beating him to death who fucking cares. No cop would take the complaint when he’s assaulted and even if that happened no conviction would occur.
BTW plenty of lefty’s and people who don’t see themselves as left or right watch NASCAR. Don’t believe the hype that it’s only southerners or republicans that love the sport.
Jeff,
It’s reasonable to surmise that this man would have worn this T-shirt regardless of Stephen Colbert’s remarks at the White House Correspondants Dinner.
To suggest otherwise is quite possibly an exaggeration, a tactic you abhor in your opponents.
Cheers,
Scot
Quite possibly and exaggeration? Gee, ya think?
I know of many, many places besides a cop or FD bar where he’d be trying to finish that beer through a collapsed trachea…
I look forward to his quest to find them.
Phil Smith says it all,
this guy is so deaf to irony that he is a danger to society.
See, punk delivers yet again.
In America, we can do this to the president. Because its a free country.
Are you talking about Actus?
It’s amazing that there’s ANYONE who wouldn’t find this shirt worthy of some serious “attitude readjustment”.
Or, as the redneck father said to his son, “That hurts like hell, don’t it? Betcha won’t do that agin”.
All part of the evolutionary process.
