I would like to get your opinion for a T-shirt promotion I have. I would call it "snipe this" and t-shirts would have a picture of crosshairs on it with:
a middle finger,
a bare butt (mooning),
Osama,
I won't say more as it may not be PC.
Give any comments or ideas! Is this distasteful or does it show our defiance to this Sniper that he is not God and will not be in control of our lives through the promotion of fear?

snipethis.com is already registered but there are other extensions and money could probably buy it.

The finger would be the most defiant picture.

And, I would suggest the crosshairs over a concentric ring target t-shirt. Just a little too scary to walk around in a sniper zone with a target printed on your shirt.

I like it, so normal people would proably find it distasteful.

I'd love to see boldly lettered posters around DC-metro:
SNIPERS DIE!

A guy at work told me he saw a car in Maryland with a bullseye painted on the side and the words "Snipe this, A-hole!" As for your shirt, I'd buy one. My idea for a politically incorrect T-shirt would be a picture of a blown-to bits suicide bomber with the caption "Islam: A Religion of Piece(s)"

Are the proceeds going to the families of the victims or toward the reward?
If not, then I would have to say that it is distasteful.

Takie advantage of the hypocrisy of the gun control freaks

I think if somebody wearing this gets shot you will face one heck of a lawsuit.

I understand the sentiment, but it might be considered offensive. A target or crosshairs makes me queasy, but you could probably get away with "We Refuse to Live in Fear"...

Whether or not it's a good idea, others can judge. But if the sniper is caught while your shirts are in production, you're screwed. That risk alone makes me wonder whether you have a good idea.

I lived for 8 years in the DC area and now live in Richmond.

My family and friends are living through this nightmare. Sure the odds are slim that one of us will be hit, but I've frequented all of the Virginia locations.

Nice you can laugh about it in Florida, but as a father who sent the kids back to school today, I think it's in bad taste.

An Isreali flag.

I like it. How about

"Dear Mr. Sniperman, WE are your Alha!"

"Your Snipers are not safe, Anywhere!"

"There maybe 72 of them, but they ain't virgins" With image of a conga line leading into a prison shower.

"Not Terrorized, Just Pissed Off!"

"Jihad this" with black image of an M-60 or M-16A2 with M203.

I've got one better:

Dear Sniper,
Sorry about your penis.
Size really doesn't matter. ; )
Sincerely,
Citizens of DC Metro

I like it . To make people aware you are doing it in defiance why not put something like this on your shirt : In respectful rememberance of our country men and women who were slain we say : Snipe this.

a middle finger,
a bare butt (mooning),

I like the idea, but the logos referenced above are vulgar, like the bumper stickers: "Don't like my driving? Call 1-800-Eat S**t". Children don't need to be exposed to it.

That being said, there were great t shirts that came out during Desert Shield/Storm, incorporating great logos and wry (black) humor. Try to come up with something along those lines.

Cheers
