"They Shake Me" -- Baby Fashion?

It seems that this t-shirt has caused a bit of a stir, perhaps even an uproar, or perhaps a controversy over in twitter land and on the Internet. The Cotton On Kids company has sort to boost sales through what they consider to be a humorous t-shirt campaign.

Is this a simple case of a sense of humor misunderstood or something more sinister? It seems that some would believe that the next t-shirt that Cotton On Kids might be producing is "my parents sexually abuse me". I have a sneaky suspicion that they won't be.

I will leave that one up to you.

Nevertheless, shaking babies and the severe injuries and death that may result mean, at least in my mind, that there is little humor to be had in the first t-shirt above. Shaking babies to me is just not funny. However, the second set of photos with the "I'm a tits man" and "I am living proof my mum is easy" are probably not as offensive as the first.

At least in my humble opinion.

Drinking and Driving -- Designated Decoys

Something that came into the inbox...

Drinking & Driving... THIS is absolutely brilliant!

Only an Aussie could pull this one off!

A true story from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. Recently a
routine police patrol parked outside a local neighbourhood tavern.
Late in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so
intoxicated that he could barely walk.

The man stumbled around the car park for a few minutes, With the officer

quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity and Trying his keys on

five vehicles, the man managed to find his car, which he fell into. He was

there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove

off. Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine

dry night), flicked the indicators on, then off, tooted the horn and then switched

on the lights.

He moved the vehicle forward a few cm, reversed a little and then remained stationary

for a few more minutes as some more vehicles left.

At last he pulled out of the car park and started to drive slowly down the road. The police

officer, having patiently waited all this time, now started up the patrol car, put on the

flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and carried out a breathalyser test.

To his amazement the breathalyser indicated no evidence of the man's intoxication.

The police officer said "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the Police station -

this breathalyser equipment must be broken."

"I doubt it," said the man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy".
