I noticed a lot of people have a little "niche" in yahoo answers when they ask questions.
For example the fella' who does "Which is todays "R&S Dumb question of the day". Or the Homie "MeatBot" who always has good questions for the people of R&S.
I'll be starting my own niche "Interesting News of the day". I'll to my best to keep it fun and exciting. Hopefully I can keep you guys interested!
I would love comments and opinions on the story in question.
Is the threat of a fine justified in this case?
All support is appreciated. Thanks!

That's what I love about living in the USA- the beautiful FIRST AMENDMENT! Freedom of Speech ba-by! They sell those shirts here all the time, I've seen them. And I don't even get how that's offensive? Rude, yes so be it, but offensive?!? Offensive is a shirt that says "Your Mom's a Wh***", that's offensive.
He should be able to wear whatever he wants. What a load of CRAP!

I see a slight problem coming up here. I have seen many people wearing shirts with sayings like that one or other sayings that are about the same rank. If he gets a fine, they will have to start fining everyone who wears a shirt like it. If they don't, he will be able to sue for discrimination and other things that lawyers add in.
I think his shirt is funny, but it seems no matter where you go.. somebody doesn't have a sense of humor.

Well it's hardly offensive - perhaps the action of someone staring at him for long enough to read it is more offensive.
It's funny, purely and simply a bit of a larf.
Perhaps we could club together and buy Mrs McCann one. As a joke like.

wow. what a goal! good for you! i did read the article. i thought it was pretty funny. i don't think he should be fined. i mean, now they want to fine us because of something we wear? that's not right. they need to leave the poor guy alone and focus on more important issues.

It is just a cute shirt and a lot of people with not much sense of humor...
