Jamrags, 'Offensive T-Shirt Company,' Succeeds In Offending Many People (PHOTOS)

Sometimes companies make offensive t-shirts by mistake -- after which they pull the product, make a public apology and try to sweep the whole thing under the rug.

Then there are the companies that actively try to offend as many people as possible.

(Warning: Offensive language used below)

Meet Jamrags, the brazenly offensive t-shirt company introduced to us by Jezebel. Jamrags describes itself thusly:

If you are observant, you may have noticed that Jamrags is an offensive t-shirt company. We specialise in creating offensive t-shirts, cotton for cunts. If you are a cunt, then we'll jam one of these rags in your letter box in exchange for precious metals.

At least they've got a clear mission statement.

Jamrags does not limit its offensiveness to sexism but includes racism, slurs against the handicap, 9/11 jokes and even a rather simpleminded dig at France. We would prefer not to reprint the most heinous slogans here, but some include:

"Michael J Fox Should Go Back In Time To Cure His Shakes"

"I Beat Cancer* (*By Cancer I Mean My Wife")

"Feminists Are Big, Fat, Hairy Dykes!"

"Calm Down Dear Let's Not Turn This Rape Into A Murder!"

And those are some of the less offensive selections.

Outrage over the company probably won't do much, considering the makers are none too ashamed of their hateful apparel. It is all a stunt, of course, so getting viewers to talk is the point. We just hope it doesn't get anyone to shop.

If you can stomach it, read more of Jamrags' choice phrases at Jamrags.com.

Where, oh where, can they publish their mission statement, as quoted above?

LOL. The "Calm down dear" one is my favorite.

A friend of mine always wanted to do shirts in the vein of the "I (heart)" shirts: "I (spade) my dog" and "I (club) my wife" Or vice versa.

I've seen everything they have, and now it's all worn out. No need to buy anything.

The only man who would wear a t-shirt that says "let's not turn this rape into murder" are ones who think they should be allowed to have sex with anyone they want regardless of whether that person wants sex with them.

Buy it and wear it and show the world your true character.

I wouldn't stop being friends with someone if they wore this shirt, but if I didn't already know them I'd never want to.

I feel half of these are from movies or Adult Swim shows.

And most of the people on this board who are offended by these shirts are also offended by the shows on Adult Swim.

Some people are just too sensitive.

Wow - this makes choosing who to date SO MUCH EASIER!!

Ah, I sort of laughed at some of them. Is that wrong?

Nope, just shows you don't take life too seriously ; )

America still has what we call "freedom of speech" right?

Just checking on the status of that.


I think I might order the "calm down dear" shirt.

I just posted a comment about that. Let us hope we don't meet while you are wearing that shirt, or lets at least hope you have a good dental plan.

Lol!

So words can make you violent huh? Just shows how limited your brain capacity is.

Besides, I think the humor in a woman wearing a shirt that says that went right over that little head of yours.

Lighten up.

I think a couple of these are humorous.

People who have time to get upset over a Tshirt need to get a life.

Only a rapist would even think about wearing one. At least he would warn potential victims off.

The coffee and the cancer ones made me laugh.

LOL, it's good to see so many non-offended people posting on this so far...people were a whole lot more offended at 'Allergic to Algebra'! It is a free country and anyone's got the right to wear one of these shirts but accept the consequences...:)

There should be no 'consequences'--save perhaps, ostracism.

Keep your hands to yourself, I say...
