now now, he's down to only about 17 posts today, better than the 35 yesterday.

At this rate he should be within acceptable numbers in another 2 to 3 days.

In which case, I'll withdraw my statement in 2 to 3 days!

I don't normally care about what people choose to wear on T-Shirts - it's a free society - but I think any reference to rape as part of some fashion slogan is in poor taste. Rape is an absolutely horrific crime. To my mind it is close to, if not worse than, murder. Sexual assault mentally scars victims for life. It simply isn't something that I believe should be joked about - and certainly not something to be emblazoned so crassly on a T-shirt.

I honestly wouldn't mind if the reference were to sex or orgies (not that I'd wear it), because those are acts between consenting adults - whatever floats their boat. But rape is not. It is disgusting, unacceptable and wrong.

I'm not prude, but this is in poor taste. You never know who may burst into tears on seeing it.

I absolutely agree.

Looks like some sort of third-rate FM radio publicity stunt, such is the level of poor taste. I have a strong feeling that anyone with the gall to purchase something like that, let alone wear it in public, will get what they deserve once people read what it says..

On fashion and decency grounds alike.

Don't start that. The whole BIG MOIRA thing will erupt again.

And then I will have to remind you (as Hyma used to have to for Moira) that Fab Fiona has formatting guidelines (http://www.btinternet.com/~neilgreen/tvf/fab-fiona.html)



And yes, the T-shirt is out of order, in my opinion.

I know. I currently pay £2 a month to help them get the opportunity to do so.
