And you should all be emailing, jumping up and down and generally making a fuss please?

I was quite impressed considering how sweary my email was Blush

I haven't had a response yet to my first email [jealous]

Nice reply...as you're in correspondance CMF perhaps you can thank him and assure him that members of MN will doubtless be reviewing his site to check for further issues.

Maybe it's sincere and maybe not. Either way it's as good as it is going to get - and there is no prospect of a prosecution now if (which I doubt) there ever was.

It may be that he has not sold any of this wretched rag. If he has and they have been sent out - too bad. If he has any orders for it on hand I don't think he will supply them!

Well a candid apology and tanker withdrawn
Good result

scottishmummy · 07/10/2011 21:51

Damn iPad.replacing words.t shirt withdrawn,good result

mamalovesmojitos · 07/10/2011 21:52

Got my email too. Agree, good response. Well handled. Still, somebody majorly fucked up.
All in all I'm glad to see people power still counts for something.

PerAr6ua · 07/10/2011 21:54

can someone who's had a response reply and point out that the 'any hole but a manhole' is also just wrong?

Growlithe · 07/10/2011 21:55

Well done, but before you start high fiving too much, the guy has still got a site full of offensive t-shirts

There's offensive and there's beyond offensive. None of us can expect to go through life unoffended.

Problem is this - I was outraged. Horrible, horrible T-shirt. I wanted to prove this site was shit and vile.

Then I saw one that made me chuckle a bit (the Bear Grills one incase you're wondering)

Now if i wanted to order a slogan T-shirt for xmas, this is the first site that would pop into my head. I'm not saying I do want a T-shirt, and even if I did, would I choose to order it here, but it does make me wonder whether this is some very clever marketing.

Bit like FCUK - took French Connection from a nothing company into something massive because they did something that made it cool. Got everyone talking.

Andrewofgg · 07/10/2011 22:10

The fellow is not going to be prosecuted Rhinestone and he never was. I notice btw that his email does not disclose the gender of the designer . . .

Don't hold your breath waiting for the donation.

PigletJohn answered the OP's question and his answer was correct. I just don't see how seeing that T-shirt - if any have been sold and sent out - is going to turn a non-rapist into a rapist.

gapants · 07/10/2011 22:11

rhinestone I love your followup email!

pigletjohn here you go [http://www.thefreedictionary.com/incitement just scroll down]]

HowlingBitch · 07/10/2011 22:14

Piglet, I doubt the concern here is that a man will put on this T shirt and become a rapist.

The problem is the trivialization of rape, the fact that people seem to think it it's humors and that they can make a profit off the back of this horrific crime. Also the victims of rape should never have to face a man wearing this T shirt ever.
