The Department of Justice, on behalf of the National Security Administration (NSA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has threatened to criminally prosecute a novelty store owner for selling mugs and t-shirts that say, among other things, Department of Homeland Stupidity and The NSA: The only part of government that actually listens.
The novelty items are sold online at Zazzle.com, which is operated by merchant Dan McCall. The NSA and DHS sent cease and desist letters to Zazzle stating that the parody products violate statutes that protect their official seals from misuse.
The NSA and DHS, through the Department of Justice, are threatening litigation and criminal prosecution if the parody designs werent immediately removed, reported the government watchdog group Judicial Watch.

Well thatvproves the merchant’s point right there.
Come and get him, thugs. Make yourselves look like even bigger fools and bullies.
Typical government employees and agencies that hate the truth. I beginning to believe Snowden actually is a patriot !
Isn’t that public property?
Ping.
I agree. Are they still online? I’d like to buy a few dozen coffee mugs as Christmas presents!
I thought dissent was patriotic!
Never mind the highest form of patriotism.
Of course, these government apparatchiks will try to revive the word “sedition” to suit their ends.

Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
If they only had a Koran, their rights
would have remained.
the counter suit will make the cup seller rich.
sic semper tyranis!!
You couldn’t make fun of the King nor criticize him which was one of the points of the First Amendment.
I’d buy a mug now.
Want to see who in your community is a potential communist citizen spy, use that mug around town and see who gets offended.
We are not enlisted and this is not their barracks. That is a red line here.
NSA tape worms not happy, eh?
Maybe Obamacare should add as mandatory presciption to pay for those who want their arse or vagina tickled by woms with NSA listening devices on them. THe government will give you free tickles care program alongside its intrusive gang of pedophiles voting for them.
If the NSA quit spanking their monkeys in their mother’s basement, they might get a life and leave innocent Americans alone.
But those pin-headed totalitarian wankers at the NSA just can’t take a joke.
Freaks and idiots, the whole lot of them.
I want a set!!!!
ANy one not accepting criticism is not your friend and interpretes it as a personal injury, when all that was done was in good intentions.
You know where their prejudices and hearts lay when any criticism is interpreted narcissistically that way and with such distrust. INstead of admiting they are stupid and could do better,, they attack.
THe whole system is gay and tyranically stupid.
They took em off, however you can customize a shirt or mug sooooooooooooooooo let’s give this small business a shot in the arm.
The jacka$$ govey is prolly forum shopping right now for a libtard judge. Then sue, drain the defendant of funds, get a favorable ruling, and lose on Appeal. Meanwhile, the guy has spent 100s of thousands. In these cases, the Appellate court should rule against the US Govey for all fees, and impose sanctions.
