Not good enough, Roger David.

Roger David is a totally wanky fashion chain here in Australia.

They're selling these charming T-shirts (TRIGGER WARNING - RAPE JOKES AT LINK).

Well that's pretty much guaranteed I never shop at Roger David.

I don't know if all those t-shirts are being sold there, but the first two definitely are.

And one of them is totally ripping off a Roxy Music album cover. Way to try to screw Brian Eno.

I wonder if this will be as business-destroying as the similar t-shirts were all those years ago for Westco...

Well Brian Eno left the band by the time that album came out. If anyone it's screwing over Brian Ferry.

But back to the main point. Yeah, the shirts are shit. I just don't get it.

Seems that anyone with Photoshop can start their own t-shirt brand these days. They don't even need to make their own art, just steal someone elses.

I know. One day people are going to look back and say, "Remember those stupid t-shirts everyone wore back in the 00's? The cheap ones that they bought online or at giant t-shirt shops? Everyone thought they were so witty, and then when you got tired of the joke you'd stop wearing it. Yeah."

By then they'll have t-shirts you can upload new designs to. I'll betcha.

I don't understand what person actually said to themselves, "hey, this is a good idea!"

The prevalence of rape, with shit like this on the market, is no surprise...but shit like this being on the market and the prevalence of rape is.

Does that even make sense?

Like no wonder dudes think it's funny. But then again, with the prevalence of it, I GUARANTEE that at some point somebody along the way in designing these shirts had a close family member or friend that was raped. So it's a slap in the face at them, too.

WTF? I usually love Roger David for their suits and their geeky t-shirts (well...okay, so it's my dad who wears the suits, but still). I am so sad that they would do something like this. :(

I saw that on change.org and felt physically sick. :(

Also, stop calling rape surprise sex BECAUSE IT ISN'T SURPRISE SEX FFS.

My rage, let me show you it. >:|

Yeah, you tend to know it's coming. It's not a surprise at all. :(

Jesus Christ. I don't even know what to say.

Thanks for that. I don't think I would have shopped there anyway, but I certainly won't now!
