    Did you read Wittenmyer's story?

    Here's the link ...

    Here's an excerpt ...

    I'm certain they're not the majority among Cubs fans. But they sure as hell aren't an isolated minority either.

    So because Gordon Wittenmyer sees a couple of assholes, it makes it a widespread trend?

    The T-shirts are awful. And fuck anyone who wears one. But you couldn't and never can resist any opportunity to talk shit about the Cubs, the Bears and the City of Chicago. You can't see that?

    Of course I see that. Doesn't mean I'm wrong. :D

    I would remind the esteemed Mr. Bubbler that serial killers, paint-thinner drinking morons and sexual violators of both livestock and human remains are but a short list of things that are not isolated incidents in Wisconsin.

    But the cheese curds are good, so we leave them be.

    Why is someone a moron for drinking paint thinner? It goes down well with a brat.

    And by the way, don't you have some fucking snow to shovel?

    Don't forget the mustaches and fat guts. The men are pretty bad, too.

    People need a humor transplant.

    The shirt's humor is in its cute wordplay. However, it also casts Americans as the arrogant douchebags we are as a whole. That's pretty funny, too.

    Our stupid, jingoistic culture doesn't learn second languages. "Fuck the rest of you countries!"

    But, hey, at least we don't have to worry about the Japanese making fun of our efforts at learning their language on a t-shirt.

    I don't know. Perhaps my favorite T-shirt, and I have only seen it a couple of times, is the "Jews for Jeter" shirt written with a kind of Hebrew-English script.

    The 1 in 10 offended need to get a life. Soon you won't be able to joke about a damn thing without pissing people off.

    And here I thought Fukudome just realized Cubs was English for "one-hundred year drought."

    ... ducking ...
