Default Peace Themed Jerseys?

In article ,
says...
Does anyone know where you can buy cycling jerseys with an anti-war or
anti-Bush theme?


Bill: I'm inclined to agree with another poster who would be concerned
about causing unwanted behaviour from those in 6000 pound steel cages with
tires & suspension & interior noise control such that they could make a
credible claim that they didn't know they ran over you.

Being morally right, but dead, may make it difficult to spread your message
effectively.

What about a jersey that said "Doing my part to make your gas cheaper!"
You'd get people having to use more than two or three of their brain cells
to figure that one out, and by the time they used up the last one (#12),
self-destruction becomes inevitable.


I love that one! Have you ever seen one for sale??? If you carry them,
I'll buy one...

There's a warning at the top of that page.

Maybe try a different browser?


One which cannot display images, perhaps.

You chose your locales in order to maximize the chance of your being
arrested.

No, we can't. Sorry. You just have to hone your Fagerlin reflexes.
For me, the mere sight of an active link in one of his messages triggers
an automatic click of the "Next" button.

I wore a "no war" button on my courier bag for a long time, and
never heard a negative word about it.


I had the word "Peace" written on my bleach bottle fender last year,
no incident.

arrest. I also protested in front of a federal building and was

You should stop useless activities like those mentioned above and go ride
your bike.

Sorry, but you're actually driving the price of gas UP by riding a bike.
Economies of scale and all that.

Maybe. My wife was worried that putting a bumper sticker on our car that
said:

Bush '04: Lies, Damned Lies, and Lies of Mass Destruction
http://www.cafeshops.com/irregulargoods.7747327

would cause unwanted attention or possible vandalism. But all we've gotten
is a few inquiries about where they can be bought, or a few suggestions for
pro-Bush stickers (which I take in good humor).

Still, I don't have one on my bike, because I don't want to be honked at by
either people who disagee with me, or people who agree with me. And it's
hard to distinguish a "thumbs up" sign from a middle finger salute in
traffic.

Out of curiosity, I checked a few anti-Bush sites, but didn't find any bike
jerseys.
I'm listing the links in case someone hasn't had enough anti-Bush humor
today.

http://www.cafeshops.com/bushfailed
http://www.cafeshops.com/bushno
http://www.cafeshops.com/elviswmd
(has material showing Elvis manufacturing weapons of mass destruction)
http://irregulartimes.com/antiwarshop.html
http://irregulartimes.com/exprogressive.html
There's a couple of bike stickers referenced on this page:
http://www.irregularoo.com/goods2.html

Although I'm personally anti-Bush, I enjoy political humor period. If
anybody feel the urge to retaliate with pro-Bush, anti-Dean, or even old
Clinton joke sites, send them to me off-list, and I promise to visit and
read at least 5 sites. That's zbicyclist AT excite DOT com (my newsgroup
address is fake, to limit spam)

If you are looking for a few hundred custom t-shirts printed with the
anti-Bush (or other) saying of your choice, this guy can probably help you
for a lot less than cafeshops:

Primal Wear has a great one with a skeleton giving the peace sign.

But don't forget, boys and girls, "Peace follows Victory." Appeasement
or accomodation of evil is not peace, it is usually just cowardice.

go for it, I'm asbestos.
