But, he insists on building up even a more deadly supply of nuclear arms right here in the US. What do you think? How does that work in a democracy again? How does being more threatening make us more likeable?Isn't the country with the most weapons the biggest threat to the rest of the world? When one country is the biggest threat to the rest of the world, isn't that likely to be the most hated country? Our country is in debt until forever, we don't have jobs, and we live in fear. We have invaded a country and been responsible for thousands of deaths. The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren't living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.

Much like the folks at American Apparel--there's a good article in Clamor this month about this such thing, it's been in the blogs as well. I guess it doesn't make much sense to be shocked that dELIA's would produce such an item. Just proof that their marketing tricks worked wonderfully, and allowing us to think of them as a cool company, one that would never stoop so low as it has.

I associate it with... not shirts like that. And that shirt is appalling. Really. I just. wtf. When I saw that t-shirt I was genuinely shocked that Delia’s were the ones behind it.
