How stupid of us to do this. Is it any wonder other folks hate us.
Besides why would anyone want to wear a "picture of God(s) on their underwear. What if they put pictures of Jesus on Hindu underwear? How long would it take folks here to go stark raving batshit crazy?
Don't even try to tell me that it wouldn't happen.
Also just imagine what would happen if you put a picture of the prophet Mohammed on underwear.
