patgundObama T-Shirt Sparks Assault, Lawsuit (with picture)
"A 25-year-old New York City graduate student is threatening to sue a T-Shirt designer after being assaulted for wearing one of his designs.
The woman bought a $69 shirt from Apollo Braun's Manhattan boutique that bore the words, "Obama is my slave." When she wore the shirt on Tuesday, four teenage girls accosted her - shoving her, pulling out her earphones, and spitting in her face, according to the New York edition of Metro News.
The unnamed woman is reportedly seeking solace by suing Braun - born Doron Braunshtein - for "all he's got," the designer claims. He, of course, is shirking any responsibility for the incident and says that the shirt reflects the views of "ordinary WASPs."
“For a lot of people, when they see Obama, they see a slave. People think America is not ready for a black president,” the Israeli-born designer said.
“I can’t stand Obama,” Braun says, but claims that it's not because the candidate is black. “That’s the only thing I like about him. He opens the door for other minorities.”
“He reminds me of Adolf Hitler,” Braun explained, adding he does not like the Illinois senator because “he is a Muslim” — a myth that Obama apparently cannot escape.
The designer has sold several other anti-Obama styles from his boutique, including shirts with slogans such as “Jews Against Obama,” “Obama = Hitler” and “Who Killed Obama?”
*FACEPLANT*
Okay, so the woman is STUPID enough to spend $69 on a shirt that looks like a cafe-press reject done with iron-on letters. Then she wears the shirt out and gets her ass kicked. Then she sues the "designer" who made said shirt, (I presume it's because he didn't administer an IQ test, or maybe forced her to wear it at gunpoint??)
To top it all off, the "designer" is an asshat with the IQ of floor tile himself and a decidedly racist slant.
Whole lotta dumb here. Whole, whole, whole lotta dumb.
