Jesus is a cunt

Clothing that describes Jesus Christ as a profanity was seized from a south Invercargill store by police yesterday.

Police took away the offending apparel after being asked to do so by Internal Affairs.

The tops would be sent to the department which would decide, after consulting with police, whether the owners of theImpuls'd store which sells them would be charged with any criminal offences.

The Southland Times yesterday revealed the store, owned byWarren and Angela Skill, was selling hooded tops with the words "Jesus is a c***" emblazoned on the back.

Sergeant Brock Davis, of Invercargill, said police visited the store mid-afternoon and seized between 10 and 15 hooded tops and long-sleeved T-shirts with the offending words on them. The owner was co-operative, he said.

People have been seen wearing the tops on city streets in the past week, with a 68-year-old visitor to the city saying she was horrified when she saw a man walking along Dunns Rd with the offending words emblazoned across his back.

For fucks sake, if we are going to ban things just because a few people might get offended, we will have to ban everything.

Had to laugh at the double standards here:

Mr Skill showed another example of his merchandise – a shirt bearing the words "F*** me Jesus", but said police had "not been interested in it".

Maybe the cops are Marduk fans?

Coffee just kicked in. Double standards yes. The tee shirt tries to be irreverent about the Christian religion however it refers to Jesus in the PRESENT tense thereby supporting the Christian belief.

For fucks sake, how stupid.
By all rights, shouldn't I be allowed to get offended at people wandering around with t-shirts and bumper stickers telling me that Jesus is gonna save my sorry sinning ass? I don't believe it, and it gets under my skin, same bloody argument.

offensive language is more the issue isn't it? If you wear a Tee shirt saying "I don't believe in Jesus" you will offend some people but the cops wont be around to take it off you.
If you really want to offend people how about a tee shirt that says "Decker works like a nigger".

the interesting thing is that a bunch of Cannibal Corpse records are banned. No one has even mentioned that in the hand wringing.

Not my sub genre by any means, but banned? come on!

If you want to wear a t shirt that says 'I dont believe in Jesus' thats cool but wearing a shirt that says anyone is a c%nt is just a bridge too far.

Since only an immature attention seeking moron with a broken sense of community would wear such a garment, and goodness knows we have them by the bucketfull, I think possession should be automatic death penalty... That way you can get to see if indeed there IS a god and call him (or her) a C%nt face to face....
