Though the shirt has been removed from their site (or sold out), Urban Outfitters got into hot water this weekend for this stained and damaged “vintage” Kent State sweater. The historically-minded among you will recognize Kent State as the site of a Vietnam War protest in 1970 that ended with the police shooting of four student protesters.
Urban Outfitters claims that the item’s appearance is due to aging, stains, and miscoloration, though obviously it looks more than a little like the violent aftermath of the protest itself. Their official statement on the sweater doesn’t help their case much:
TL;DR: Company known for ripping off art designs, pandering to bratty youths, and doing attention-grabbing things to gain publicity among other attention-grabbing bratty youths acts according to form. Carry on.

Our fearless leader ‘Hagar The Quinnible’ presiding over a lunch meeting with his TBP Viking warriors:
I overheard two young women talking about Christmas in the next booth at a local fast food joint. Then at one point one of them said: “How do we know even know Santa’s a man?”
The other one snorted and said with a resigned look on her face and said: “That’s easy…He shows up late, eats your cookie, empties his sack, comes only once, calls you a ho…and leaves while you’re asleep!”
Sani? Why are you stealing all the presents?
now dat made me laff !!
My Libtard neighbor moved out, but can’t sell his house next to me.
He put up a large sign in his front yard to entice renters.
I had to find a jumbo Sharpie, then beneath his
FOR LEASE sign, I wrote
NAVIDAD.
For lease navidad
that’s a moray
now what?
Why was FF inserted below all the posts of the day? I suspect no one can find it (e.g., nkit). Meanwhile, today’s word of the day is Eskimo. Why, you ask, since that’s a pedestrian word? It’s because this week, a Canadian man was fired for saying, “Eskimo.” In Canada! Eskimo! To protest this I’m going to say Eskimo as often as I can without aggravating everyone. Eskimo. It’s a nice day here in London, ON. Eskimo. The Leafs suck again. Eskimo. Why the hell don’t Eskimos play hockey? Ice all-year round up there in Tuktoyaktuk. The Tuktoyaktuk Eskimos beat the hapless Leafs last night. Go Eskimos! Edmonton has a football team called Eskimos. Leftists are probably having conniptions about that. Eskimo. I learned last night that my wife doesn’t like my breathing, which I suppose means she wants me to stop. Eskimo. Then I let her down again this morning by waking up. Eskimo. Aggravated yet? Eskimo.
God, I love that…,
Playcat has to get with the times and start shaving the pussies.
THERE’S A FLY IN MY CHAMPAGNE
The Swede asked for new champagne in the same glass.
The Limy demanded to have new champagne in a new glass.
The Finn picked out the fly out and drank the champagne.
The Rosuke drank the champagne, fly and all.
The Chicom ate the fly but left the champagne.
The Jew caught the fly and sold it to the Chicom.
The Wop drank two thirds of the champagne and then demanded to have a new glass.
The Norski took the fly and went off to fish.
The Mick ground the fly and mixed it in the champagne, which he then donated to the limy
The Murk’in sued the restaurant for a $50 million compensation.
The Kilt Wearer grabbed the fly by the throat and shouted: ‘Now spit out all that you swallowed.’
Feel free to add your favorite NON- PC Identity slander witticism???
If enough play this slander comment game (after this one above) the comment with the most up votes at 9:00 PM Saturday night wins the: ‘TBP Friday Fail NON PC Razor Tongue Slander Award’.
If you decide to play the rules are similar to the rules in the knife fight scene in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

The Canuck put aside the fly, froze the glass of champagne, then stickhandled the fly with a matchstick a while, before flicking it into the hair netting of the old lady at the next table over.
Then he took a pull from the miniature bottle of Crown Royal he had in his pocket,
before asking for an ice cold longneck bottle of Molson.
The Yanks launched 10,000 cruise missiles at the waiter who brought the glass. They missed.
The governor of California spilled his glass onto the floor , but was quicker than three homeless guys and licked to all up before the fly flew away. He then told a reporter about the exotic taste he enjoyed, but it wasn’t the champagne nor the fly. It was kind of brown and lumpy.
Mayor “Pete” Buttigieg gave the fly to his “wife” and used the champagne as tongue lube while he did him a rim-job.
101 Mayor Pete Buttiplug is the wife. LOL!
An environmentalist saw the fly in the champagne and panicked….then screamed for a lifeguard!
A TBPer walks into a bar, sees everyone but one guy with a frost bitten nose drinking champagne, then reads a sign that hangs over the bar… FREE BEER! FREE BEER FOR THE PERSON WHO CAN PASS THE TEST!
So TBPer asks the bartender what the test is. Bartender replies “Well, none of these people had the balls to try the test, you’re the first. It has three parts. First, you have to drink that whole bottle of pepper tequila behind the bar, the WHOLE thing at once and you can’t make a face while doing it. Second, there’s a huge gator out back with a sore tooth…you have to remove it with your bare hands. Third, there’s a woman up-stairs who’s never had an orgasm. You gotta make things right for her.”
The TBPer says, “Well, as much as I would love free beer, I won’t do it. You have to be nuts to drink a gallon of pepper tequila and then get crazier from there.”
Well, as time goes on the TBPer got smashed but was broke, so he gets a crazy idea to go for the test, and he asks the bartender, “Wherez zat teeqeelah?”
All the others drinking champagne and the Canuck just stare at the TBPer.
The bartender hands it to him and the TBPer grabs the bottle of tequila with both hands slowly downing it with a big slurps…tears streaming down his face.
Next, he staggers out back and soon all the people inside the bar hear the most frightening roaring and thumping, loud gator grunting, even louder banging against the walls, and finally a loud shuddering reptile roar that can only be described as relief! Then silence.
TBPer staggers back into the bar, his shirt ripped off, big scratches and bleeding cuts all over his body.
“Now” he says “Where’s that woman with the sore tooth?”
All the others drinking champagne never said a word, the Canuck spilled his Crown Royal in his lap while rubbing his frost bitten nose in amazement.
Uh er it wasn’t the scot that said spit out, it was the irish! LOL!
None Ya Biz
Irish, Scottish, Potato…Patato…what’s strangling a fly who stole some champagne among cousins…
Big picture: We both need to paint our faces blue and kill all the Limeys who want to stay in the European Union New World Order!
Congratulations SUDS for winning the ‘TBP Friday Fail NON PC Razor Tongue Slander Award’!
Mann, the only prize I expect is, if I ever make it to your gulch, bearing gifts of rolled leaf, & some usable skills, that you consider an exception to the general rule exists, and the welcome mat will be revealed, so we can enjoy a cigar, maybe a glassed or bottled beverage, and clink to common, humorous ground, besides the serious.
~Cheers, amigo.
Sudsy, you bet buddy!
A couple of cups of Black Rifle coffee with a shot of Anisette in each in the morning, some rolled leave in the afternoon, a little Titos over ice with three splashes of Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters along with a couple of Petite Blue Connecticut Acids in the evening, and the 4th Turning crescendo might not be so bad after all?
Even when TSHTF a man needs his civilized comforts.
Just make sure you call ahead, the punji pits, bear traps, and toe poppers can be a problem for surprise visitors.
Ho Ho Ho my friend!
+100, bud.
Deal.
Showing up unannounced is not only rude, it will be very dangerous for friends, and fatal for enemies.
If they take down cell phones w 5G, I will need your 2-way preferred channel and sub-channel.

Now that is funny. Stop trying to pull my toilet chain.
The placement of Friday Fail–buried underneath all the day’s posts–has really put a damper on the comments/pictures/videos. Can anyone reach out to nkit to tell him FF was posted hours ago?
Give him time, Bobby. He’s a night owl more than an early bird.
Then too, perhaps he’s preoccupied with a higher priority. It happens sometimes.
Hopefully, he’ll weigh in, eventually.
It’s not the same without him.

Or he could pull in closer.
I owed two MG Midgets in the 70’s, did that all the time.
Wish I owned some midgets.
Get ’em to wrastle.
Alright Bobby….your wish is my Friday Fail Command!
IF I OWNED A MIDGET
(verse 1)
Life’s got me mad
But if I had a midget I’d be glad
To watch him jump around on my nintendo powerpad
He’d have a big head short legs and long torso
The name that I give my pet midget is little Gordo
I’d teach him tricks like backflips and side kicks
When company came over he’d perform and get tips
While I’m eatin at night, in the kitchen he’d be able
To get the food scraps that I threw under the table
If my midget was ever mad and acted enraged
Then I’d take him to the bathroom and put him in his cage
But If he kept acting up and really made me sick
I’d hang him upside down and poke him with a stick
Little Gordo would be good most of the time though
He’d like to wear a helmet and run around yelling Kaiyo
I’d take him for walks in the park on the weekends
And if he saw other midgets he’d say Can we be friends
He’d only need a 3 foot coffin when he was dead
And he’d be in the guiness book for the world’s biggest head
What a funny little fellow, but don’t call him a shrimp
Or he’ll attack your leg cause Gordos a tough gimp
He’d have a pogo ball that he’d bounce on for hours
And dirty little fathead Gordo would’nt take showers
When Halloween came, he wouldn’t be a chump
Gettin all the candy goin round as a tree stump
James Gregory said his family had some when he was a kid. Said they hung one on their car’s rear view mirror, and it just bitched and bitched and bitched.
Same here. ’67 Sprite!
I like her…she seems smart.
Would be a lot nicer without the ugly tattoos.
Tattoos?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder MrLiberty.
Myself , being about 80% covered , I happen to like tattooed women .
And she has some nice ones . ( tattoos I mean ) Snerk !
And I timed all this thought that beauty was in the eyes of the beer holder
I must admit I’ve never understood the attraction
of beautiful young women to tattoos.
Are they thinking that it helps ‘distinguish’ their
individuality?
Rather more like the graffiti tagger who thinks he
is ‘improving’ a Rembrandt.
Might be some mental health issues involved here.
At best.
The thing here is see,
Tattooed people DON’T CARE if YOU’RE NOT tattooed .
Get it ?
A friend’s wife is a very talented artist and uses her (and his) body for some of her designs. The only thing I would be worried about is that butterfly on her shoulder turning into a screaming eagle when she is 70.
Talent on loan from God.
She keeps good 4/4 time.
I agree, two thumbs up.
She’s so talented, must be from Texas
Where’s my bag of walnuts?
