I’m with Sonny.

Popplenoose said: “the word “cunt” isn’t attached to 200 years of oppression and slavery of an entire race. sort of a giant difference.”

yeah… like there is no historical precedent of people treating women as subhuman slaves.

Fractionofawhole: I find your whole ‘it’s used in jest; it’s funny’ justification to be lacking. How many black-comedian punchlines utilize the term, “nigger?” You don’t know any white dudes who call other white dudes “nigger” to be ironic?

fractionofawhole:

All those anti-Obama shirts were done to our current Idiot-In-Chief. It isn’t anything new, it’s still offensive, but if it’s bad or not depends on your perspective.

At the same time, I’m stuck siding with Sonny.

Sonny:

It sucks, but your right. Actually, I was tempted to make the same point. Popplenoose was right, the word “Cunt” doesn’t have the same exact stigma attached to it. At the same time, I will argue that the word “Cunt” is the worst thing you can call a woman, so “Nigger”… well, you can see where I’m going with this.

Of course, there are these two shirts:

Obama: False Messiah

John McCain: War Without End

Done by the same guy, too, and guess which one sold more? I’m pretty sure you would be shocked.

@Sonny,
I disagree with your reasoning there. Using racism is a whole other level of offensiveness. Telling someone they’re a “cunt”, while very offensive, is not like calling someone a “Ni***r”. Shit I can’t even type it without feeling like a racist douche. Hell, cunt isn’t even a sexist term as I hear guys call other guys cunts all the time. It’s just a very offensive (and often funny) term.

As for “red stater” offensive outer wear, look no further than Cafe Press. Comparing someone to Hitler, human feces, showing them in relation to “terrorists”, that’s offensive too.

You’re right, we are smarter than that. So smarten up and realize it’s all a bunch of bullshit and enjoy a laugh every now and then.

I have only seen fat chicks wearing them. My conclusion is that said fat chicks are jealous that Sarah Palin has pumped out quite a few kids and still manages the MILF label. Sweat on fatties but remember, in that shirt you look like Rosie O’Donnell

I hear what you’re saying, sonny…but the word “cunt” isn’t attached to 200 years of oppression and slavery of an entire race. sort of a giant difference.

what would suck is if Palin somehow stumbled into the fucking white house.

Eh, not so proud. I agree with the women on this clip, mostly. Fair is fair, right? If we stumbled across a red stater — or even, say, someone from Scranton — sporting a “OBAMA IS A NIGGER” t-shirt, that would pretty much suck, right? There sure as hell would be a lot of steam rising from this site — and justifiably.

It’s just not intelligent. We’re smarter than that, honest.
