(261 posts)Their excuse about the listing being generated by a computer script seems absurd at first. However, if you look at some of their other listings, it begins to seem more likely.

Some of the shirts are so nonsensical that I can't imagine someone sitting there being "yeah, this is a great idea for a shirt."
The format seems to be "Keep Calm and (random verb up to 5 letters) (Her, Them, Us, Out, On, or In)". This results in a large number of offensive shirts. You can find at least one on almost every page of results.
Still. You think someone would have been smart enough to come up with a list of words to exclude from the script; "rape" being at the top of that list.
