Subject: RE: BS: T-Shirt/Censorship/Religious hatred
i heard another t-shirt story to compare to the "faukers, fockers" one
a fellow was wearing a shirt that had George Bush's face and the words "international Terrorist" on it. he was refused boarding on a plane because someone took offense at his shirt, or rather the image on it.
He was asked to remove or cvhange the shirt and he would not. He was
removed from the plane and offered a free ticket for the inconvenience.
This was a different airline than the one the woman was on in the previous story. The fellow was david rovics (www.davidrovics.com)
a brilliant singer songwriter who has many hard-hitting songs.
He says you can get the shirt at http://www.internationalterrorist.com/
As far as rights go, he learned that when you are in the "PUBLIC"
airport terminal, your rights are protected more than when you are
in the "private" airplane.
he said it was unfortunate that the woman's shirt had a profanity
on it, as it could have made a more positive statement if it was
not as offensive.
