"Snipe This" T-shirts!

Distasteful or deliberate defiance?

[md2576]

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.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

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.

why not a picture of Kathleen Kennedy Townsend with a water pistol aimed at haunting eyes coming out of the Montogomery County woods.

Takie advantage of the hypocrisy of the gun control freaks

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend with a water pistol

Kookie Katie would foul herself if she saw a water pistol. Her campaign is waving the bloody shirt over this mess, flacking for "ballistic finger-printing" of guns and beating on Bob Ehrlich for saying that it's worthless. Makes me almost want to go back there, just to vote for him.

Very distasteful

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

I think that would be the point. Not to be scared.

Most definitely, some proceeds would go to them.

[md2576]

I like that. LOL

Just as I expected. Someone gets hurt and it's GOT to be someone else's fault!

[md2576]

Very distasteful

Thank you for your thoughts.

I just saw a t-shirt on the web that I really like. the logo was:

got gun?

God Bless America!

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"...

[1rudeboy]

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.

saw one on O'riely last night, his comment that anyone making a profit
from this sniper mess was sick, Now if all the proceeds were going to
the fund for victims or reward, you would have a heck of a lot of attention.
unfortunately you probably want to make a buck, understandable, but will not reach a very big market.
