Australia should probably try to get its excrement compiled. First it plays host to a batshit insane Muslim cleric who’s in favor of killing children; now Qantas appears to be in dire terror of a shirt.
Qantas said the T-shirt had potential to offend other passengers.
The T-shift features an image of President George W Bush, along with the slogan “World’s Number One Terrorist”.
Agree with the sentiment or don’t — this is one of those shirts that I think I’d find initially amusing, but tiresome after a while — but regardless of how you feel about the man, his motivations or the right to free speech, this comment from Qantas is simply bizarre.
A Qantas spokesman defended the airline’s decision, saying: “Whether made verbally or on a T-shirt, comments with the potential to offend other customers or threaten the security of a Qantas group aircraft will not be tolerated”.
That’s right: A shirt is a threat to airline security, but an insane religious leader advising suicide in children is somehow perfectly acceptable.
