...When Moral Busybodies Attack!!!!!!
Folks they are back! Hide your logic behind barred doors. Lock your good-sense in a trunk in the basement. Send your sense of humor to the neighbor's house. The moral busybodies who have, of course our best interests at heart are on the loose. Be extra careful because the have had their sense of humor euthanized and they are coming after your shirt. Well, that is if you are wearing one of the trendy new shirts from the industry leader in "trendy" Abercrombie & Fitch, like in the photo above. (Photo courtesy of The Drudge Report)
Some high school girls in one of this countries wonderful states is offended by these shirts and she wants A&F to know about it. To get their attention she has forme a "girlcott" with some of her humor deficient friends. You can read about their shenanigans here:

I have a question. Exactly how full of yourself do you have to be to form a boycott, sorry "girlcott," against bad fashion? That's kind of like boycotting, sorry misspoke again "girlcotting," oxygen because someone passed gas. Sure it's bad for a moment, but if you tolerate for a bit the foul funk will pass. No, tolerance with other people's opinions on what is funny will not due. Someone needs to pay for making these offensive and degrading t-shirts. (Those poor little Vietnamese kids chained to the sewing machines in their villages who are earning 3 cents a day making those shirts better watch out.)
Please, these shirts are causing damage to no one except the morally self-indulgent busybodies who are offended by them and to that I say: "Great fun! Keep it up! Where that shirt with pride knowing you are doing society a service by making an "I care more than you do" activist have a conniption."
If you are a parent of a young girl and she has a question about the meaning of these shirts you could use it as an educational opportunity. It would be a perfect chance to teach your daughters about humor. About how not everything in life is to be taken as seriously has a chest pain after the "Fat-Boy Special Combo at Heart-A-Tack Burger." You can teach them to laugh at your sex and yourself.
As an aside, you don't see Bubba gathering the bar crowd out to boycott the TV networks because they are offended because fathers are portrayed as bumbling oafs in most TV sitcoms. Bubba's too busy laughing at Homer because he is a bumbling oaf and because Bubba remembers the times he acted the part.
As you can tell I don't have much respect for those girls and their cause and I don't. I wonder if those girls are bothered by the return to fashion of Che Guevara. His image is back upon the "trendy" t-shirts of America's youth. Of course that would assume these high school girls were taught about Che and the communists of Cuba and the world. He was the right hand man behind Communist Revolutionary Fidel Castro. He was the idea guy and Fidel was the strong arm. Together they saved Cuba from the tyranny of a right wing dictator and of the corporations and delivered a unto the people a left wing dictator and oppressive communist regime that appreciates the natural rights of man about as much as I appreciate the "girlcott" of A&F.
One of the reasons these girls don't mind "The Return of the Che" is because, whether they realize it or not, they are disciples of them same ideals: that I know better than you how to live your life and I'll use of the force of the government to show you.
And as if on cue:

An Indiana State Senator with a "R" behind his name is introducing legislation in his state to force A&E from selling these "offensive" and "degrading" shirts. Now since I don't live in
So what is the moral of the moral busybody story?
Hmm...
Shirts with communist murderers on them --> A - Okay
Shirts with jokes about hair color or boob size --> B- Bad
People with "R" after their names are just as bad as those with "D" and anyone who tells you any different, Dread Pirate Roberts, is selling you something.

There really needs to be some sort of consequence for government officials who abuse the legal system and government in this way. Sure you have vote for the other guy when re-election time comes around, but thing of all the time, tax payer money, and energy wasted on this one "issue". I think that we should start charging government officials who back a bill that doesn't get passed. This will at least insure that what they are presenting is more thought-out and selective than what is done today. Perhaps then they will think twice about jumping on the wagon every time some shmoo drives one near enough.
I too agree it is something which that state needs to deal with and I hope that something so foolish never occurs in my state.
I am so tired of "the government" playing Mom and Dad with the citizens.
