Shout-out to Dylan (a.k.a Ronnie Devoe) for showing me this

So Freshjive released a couple shirts that have caused some controversy among some. Here are the shirts:

Here is the protest led by the Jewish Defense League:


JDL VS. FRESHJIVE. from Bobby Hundreds on Vimeo.

Rick Klotz, who is Jewish and founder of Freshjive issued a statement on his blog regarding the controversy. Acouple excerpts fromt he blog include:

"I believe there are victims on all sides of this conflict.

Some people criticized the image for being in poor taste, and suggested a more positive graphic would have been more appropriate. I say if you think it is in poor taste, don't buy it. My business deals in the graphic arts and I believe that one of the highest purposes of art is to spark discussion by challenging people to think in new ways about serious issues.

The entire point of this graphic, and other graphics, is definitely to push an opinion and a topic I would like our customers to pay some attention to (rather than blindly buy our product for fashion and aesthetic reasons). To inspire thinking and create a public dialog on such topics is extremely important, and discussions from both sides of the fence are extremely beneficial to come to realizations and hopefully mutual understandings. Respectful dialog between people who disagree is essential to the health of a democratic culture."

Anyways, I gotta get to the shop...Hit me up about your opinion on this...
