March 2013.
Amazon is briefly carrying these shirts featuring the ever popular "Keep Calm" meme-with a twist.
Also available: "Keep Calm and Choke Her", "Keep Calm and Grope On" and "Keep Calm and Rape Me"
Really??
These shirts originated from an Australian third-party retailer Solid Gold Bomb, which has partnered with Amazon in the past. The owner of Solid Gold Bomb says that while he understands the "gravity of the offense" the shirts were an honest mistake. Apparently, the shirts were made when a computer program randomly paired nouns and verbs with the "Keep Calm" meme and the company did not deliberately create the shirts.
Really??
Now that's a cop out if I've ever heard one.
But alas, karma has prevailed.
Solid Gold Bomb is just that...a bomb.
All of their social media sites are now down, and the CEO says the entire venture is "dead in the water" because of this snafu. OOPS.
Let's just face it. Not only is this not a computer generated mistake, but a horrible offense.
Doesn't matter who is to blame-time to step up to the plate and apologize Amazon.
Don't be a contributor or a supporter of violence against women.
