Recently I've caught myself looking at teenagers misbehaving in places like the mall, and thinking "what a bunch of little shits". Or I'll see a mailbox vandalized, beer cans stacked in a pyramid on the hood of someone's car, or an inappropriate tee shirt like the one below. These things remind me that I was the king of little shits back in the day.
So I have to admit that, while I think this is a bit off color now, I most likely would have bought one of these VICK 'EM shirts if I were a student at Texas Tech.
Those who will attend Texas A&M's football game Saturday in Lubbock might see a unwelcome sight. Two Texas Tech students are selling controversial T-shirts bearing the image of A&M's mascot, Reveille. The T-shirt, red with black text and images, displays the words "Vick 'em" across the chest. The back bears the image of a football player wearing a number 7, dangling a dog labeled "Reveille" by a rope. The "Vick 'em" and the football player are meant to portray Michael Vick, the professional football player who was convicted in August of running a multi-state dog-fighting ring. Geoffrey Candia, the shirt's creator and a student at Texas Tech, said he wanted to sell the shirt through his fraternity, but the university turned down the group's request to sell the shirts on campus. "I'm a business student and I saw the profitability and went ahead and printed the shirts," he said. |
