'you won’t make a big impression on me with the financial boycott strategy'
*cough*
whatever your politics it would be nice to see a little boycotting until the quality improves?
'TEA PARTY/ 2nd Amendment Response
Sir,
I never said the Tucson shooting was the Tea Party’s fault… I said that angry rhetoric can’t help deter violence or help a civil political climate. I don’t make my art to sell as many t-shirts as possible, so you won’t make a big impression on me with the financial boycott strategy. However, I applaud you for using economic pressure as a part of your arsenal to participate in democracy. Far few Americans understand that their spending habits wield great influence. By the way, I’m not trying to overturn the 2nd Amendment. I’m not opposed to gun ownership, I only oppose handguns for anyone other than law enforcement. If I “don’t get it”, I’m very open to being enlightened. Seriously, maybe you have a justification for handguns I have not considered. If so, I’d like to hear it. Take care.
-Shepard

Subject: [Obey Giant Contact Form] General Inquiries
Stumbled across your website after buying an Obey t-shirt.
Just read your blog on your misperceptions of the Tucson shooting, Tea Party tie-in and 2nd Amendment RIGHTS.
My determination is: You are one misinformed, misguided dude with not one original thought in your head. You just don’t get it.
Conclusion:
The t-shirt goes back. No more Obey for me.
No more Obey for friends or family.
Ciao, SF/Obey

Strange how he says he's not trying to overturn the second amendment, (which is the right of all citizens to bear arms) but in the very next sentence he says he's opposed to gun ownership for anybody except law enforcement. Sounds like a very confused individual.
ReplyDeleteHere's my anti-gun poster
ReplyDeleteBut I'm not anti-gun as it might hurt sales
I'm a vegetarian, but I eat meat, so my art is ok for all
oh, you're a vegan? that's good (must make a "cheese is murder" print for the vegans)
Need more money
money money money
maybe we can start an "anti-establishment" bank, and get all the punk kids to use our accounts to save up for college
banking already fits perfectly with the OBEY range - in the black, in the red...
and I'm virtually printing money as it is...
genius

No, he said "I only oppose handguns for anyone other than law enforcement".
He said 'handguns', see? Are you less of a very confused individual now?
See the cases of 'Parker v District of Columbia' and 'District of Columbia v Heller' to see why the prohibition of handguns has been ruled to violate the second amendment, and is therefore unconstitutional.
ReplyDeleteWho's confused now bitch? Looks like it's you, as well as your boyfriend Fairey.
