i think you just like criticizing everything that purports to serve some purpose or have some goal.
 

you should come out stronger against economic sanctioning of speech in the pub forum. as the govt. gets further privatized, the knee-jerk inclination to remove controversial material from public viewing could really, really, hurt our society.
 

I have to admit I'm not really sure what you expect from me. My power to preserve society is not exceptionally great. Why don't you just cut out the middle man and state the opinion on this topic yourself?
 

haha, ease up, beetle. the last comment was really just a suggestion. and the fact that people think you can save society with a keyboard is a compliment.
 

I'm not trying to be mean, I really do want to hear the opinion of anonymous in terms of this incident.
 

tis all good. well, anonymous is pretty disgusted by the whole thing. reactionary econ sanctioning in the name of sensitivity is really killing free speech at our school. this type of censorship causes a chilling effect where orgs cease to produce controversial art on the off chance it might offend the foolish. tangentially connected to shi (and as you sort of mentioned), it is completely OFF LIMITS to criticize cultural groups on campus (some of which are blatantly racist btw). I'm just sick of the PC obession at this institution.
We have an disgustingly racially segregated university and the ethnic balkanization is propagated in part by the groups supposedly oriented towards increasing "diversity." Meanwhile, you have all these PC-obessed sensitivity mongers up-in-arms over a damned joke shirt. Jesus, open your eyes and combat some real racism. It's at Xroads, on Sproul, and in your classes every day. K, I'm stressed from finals and babbling. I'll get off my soapbox.
 

"Economic sanctioning"?? Do you mean consumers exercising their right to boycott?

The right to free speech does not mean the right to have one's products be bought.

I'm glad that Futura/T-Shirt Orgy has been cooperating with the protesters in getting better shirts into the store.

As for DeezTeez, I'm not sure if it's within its rights to put on its website the private email addresses of people who emailed DeezTeez's public email address. That's something for people experienced with the law to decide.
 

You don't have to be a legal expert to know that you don't have the right to use your e-mail address to communicate with others but not have that e-mail address publicized. It's comically within their rights, which is what makes these complaints so funny. "We were stirring up trouble, and then trouble got stirred up with us. That's so unfair!!!"
