T-shirt company defends right to 'offend'
Web site comes under fire for its "arrest black babies" tees

Tshirthell.com
By Stacy Anderson

Updated: 2:43 p.m. ET Jan. 28, 2005Tshirthell.com boasts the motto, ?where all the bad shirts go.?

And few would disagree after a T-shirt with the slogan, ?Arrest Black Babies Before They Become Criminals? went on sale on the site. The shirt is emblazoned with the image of a hand-cuffed Black baby sucking on a pacifier.

Cost? $18.

What?s more, the Web site offers the following disclaimer: "Anyone who thinks the shirt is racist is just ignorant."

TShirtHell.com started in October 2001 and receives over 75,000 visitors a day, according to the site, which is based in Las Vegas.

But Tshirthell.com is an equal-opportunity offender, according to the site. ?We design our shirts to amuse ourselves. We don't care if you're offended by them. Regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, or sexual preference- you are all fair game,? the site?s creators state on the Web.

Further, the site asks, why is it that Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle can do stereotype humor without repercussions, and not Tshirthell.com?

T-shirts sold on the site cover a variety of topics including politics, homosexuality, sex and race. Some shirts include phrases such as ?I Broke Up Brad and Jen,? ?I Still Hate George Bush,? and ?Medium Pimpin.? Another shirt proclaims, ?I Survived the Tsunami 2004.?

Infant-sized versions read, ?Are You My Daddy?? and ?Broken Condom.?

The controversial Web site has been featured in The New York Post, Maximum, Stuff, Penthouse, Us, Playboy and others.

Tshirthell.com did not respond to BET.com?s request for comment. The company ships products all over the United States and to 46 foreign countries. Customers can become members and receive benefits, which include discounts and access to free giveaways.

Tshirthell should send BET a couple of buckets of KFC, case of Pepsi and a couple of watermelons as a thank you for the publicity. How is that for stereotyping?

Fuck these sensitive people.

rollinOn20s · 01-29-2005, 10:27 AM

That site has the fuckin funniest shirts in the world!

beemk · 01-29-2005, 10:34 AM

Tshirthell is run by white people.

Black people are allowed to be racist.

Remember, their ancestors were enslaved so we have to be nice to them.

Donny · 01-29-2005, 10:49 AM

I love the shirt that says:

"I'm What Willis Was Talking About!"

Too true. They should get a bunch of black pedestrians together and pay them a few hundred bucks to start a T-Shirt Hell protest. That'd be fucking hilarious. Call the local news.. see what happens. Get some black guys to burn some shirts or something. It's so stupid that it just might work.

XpressMedia · 01-29-2005, 11:57 AM

eroswebmaster · 01-29-2005, 12:00 PM

I've said it before the only thing that offends me about t-shirt hell is that they aren't even funny.

No. WET will be racist.

That cannot be launched.

Only black people ever lived through oppresion or slavery.

Only they can bitch.

eroswebmaster · 01-29-2005, 12:08 PM

I find it silly to be "offended" by what are probably college frat boys *who 9 times out of 10 are latent homosexuals&* so bored with the date rape scene that they sit around and write t-shirt slogans that are essentially 13 year old fart jokes

foolio · 01-29-2005, 12:11 PM

looking at the videos BET airs - they are the last ones that should be talking about anything lol.
