Teenager expresses herself in Invercargill
Serious investigative reporting by The Southland Times (Invercargill, New Zealand) has uncovered that teenagers are wearing hoodies with the dual purpose of (1) shocking their parents and other old people; (2) expessing themselves as individuals.
Eighteen-year-old Invercargill woman Sarah Shirley, who was wearing one of the offending hoodies in the city yesterday, said … if she visited her grandparents she wouldn’t wear it, and her mother had told her not to wear it around the house, she said…. An atheist, it was her “freedom of choice” to wear the hoodie with the offensive words emblazoned on the back.
- Stuff
The hoodie in question is a product sold by British metal band Cradle of Filth. The design was earlier featured on one of the few tshirts to have been banned in New Zealand, the subject of a 2008 decision by The Office of Film & Literature Classification. This is probably also the first time that anything by Cradle of Filth has officially been considered “literature”.
The phrase “Jesus is a cunt” was earlier employed by Manchester band The Happy Mondays in their song “Kuff Dam”. Their lyrics “You see that Jesus is a cunt / And never helped you with a thing that you do, or you don’t” have been the subject of exegetical analysis by biblical scholar James Crossley, in his article “For EveryManc a Religion: Biblical and Religious Language in the Manchester Music Scene, 1976-1994″ (Biblical Interpretation 19, no. 2 (April 2011): 151–180). A reliable summary of Crossley’s commentary on the song is available under the “Cunt” entry on Wikipedia.
Why am I not surprised that this was an atheist. And her buddy with an “Anarchy” jacket,, Cradle of Filth fans. The whole teen rebellion package!
it’s all sooooooooo immature
i dont see the problem its freedom of speech, not every1 has the same idea about the whole jesus and god thing 90% of the s**t about jesus is a lie
People are entitled to their opinion, if we Atheists have to listen to the endless preachings of the God sqaud on every media format possible along with the street corner nut jobs as well, then I see absolutely no issue with this form of freedom of speech
So they got offended. How sweet and how typical.
Enough with the jokes, let’s get serious. The cancer of religion, has caused millions of deaths globally. Countless humans perished under the cross, for the cross and by the cross. Fact! Therefor christians should be more offended for their crimes against humanity in order to sustain the… religion of… love (yeah, right), instead of a word on a t-shirt.
Christians should be offended for all the genocides worldwide their church did, from the european pagans slaughtered or converted, till the smallest african village. Wherever a christian missionary of hate (aka priest) went, blood, death and agony followed. The so called “third world” is a very neat example of the christian “love thy neighbor”. Catholic church was and is the most criminal organization ever created.
Last but not least, Hitler’s reign of terror lasted somewhat 10 years, the equally murderous christian reign of terror lasts for 1000+ years. If they are offended by a word, we are offended by their entire existence so enough with these religious cunts!
leave the Jesus folk to their beliefs. you cunts. hahaha
