http://www.bringemon.com/

The site says it supports the Pres. but I wonder if it's a parody. If I saw anybody walking around with this stuff I would think they were mocking the Bring Em On comment.

Pay special attention to the thong!

5. It's no joke!
A Classic Thong with the phrase "Bring it on!" that's deadly serious!

I have to believe this is a for profit site capitalizing on the gung-ho culture of America and is neither seious or humorous it just is for the sake of potential income.

6. They are clueless... there marketing gimmick: Now You
can show support for the president and the troops...

Er... taunting makes the troops less safe - so by definition this does not show respect/support for the troops - it shows disregard for the safety of the troops.

7. good question!
Considering that BEO was one of the most idiotic, irresponsible statements ever made in the history of any presidency (not as if * has much competition for that, however), I'd assume it were a huge joke. But, at the same time, how many people who didn't like * would actually want to go around with his picture emblazoned across our chests/pubes, whatever?

8. One way or the other, it's a joke.
Edited on Thu Aug-14-03 12:15 PM by Brian Sweat
The only question is whether or not the person who created the joke gets it.

9. I agree with everyone
I think it's a cynical attempt to make a buck. But I have to wonder why they chose such a stoooopid picture of Bush.

12. it would be interesting
to set up a website and ask rightwingers for money with something like:

'donate $10 to this site if you support the President or aren't you patriotic enough?'

13. Any f***ing moron...
...that has the luxury of sitting around in a t-shirt, having a BBQ, throwing a frisbee, or lounging around in a thong is in no damned position to be declaring "Bring 'em on!" on his t-shirt, BBQ hat/apron, frisbee or thong. Let them take their asses to Iraq, don a military uniform, eat rations and get shot at and then let's hear them talk that shit.
