I Think It's Funny

This has made work more fun than usual. (Sarcasm dripping...)

The Anti-Defamation League has asked retailer Urban Outfitters to stop selling a T-shirt that reads:

"New Mexico, Cleaner than Regular Mexico."

I find this shirt to not only speak the truth, but to be very funny. It's all in the name of humor for fuck's sake. What happened to freedom of speech? We make the shirt, if people don't like it they won't buy it and we will get rid of it. Instead, we cater to these fucking groups that pressure us to stop selling the shirt. Ridiculous.

However, not as ridiculous as the amount of people who have called to complain about the shirt to me. Like I can do anything about it. I find myself actually smiling when people are going on and on about insensitive the shirt is. Why? Because the shirt makes me laugh. I'm sorry. It does.
