Subverting hate with 'Trojan t-shirts'

Mon Aug 15, 2011 9:25 PM EDT

Anti-racist activists snuck trick t-shirts into a music festival with a large neo-Nazi turnout; the shirts bore a crypto-racist slogan that faded on first washing to reveal a plea to reconsider "militant right-wing lifestyle."

This was so awesome ! This is exactly what we need more of...thinking outside the box.

Shhhhhh, let's keep this secret. We maybe could pull it off at a teabagger party ((-:

I would have loved to have sold shirts that said "Where's the birth certificate?" and washed off to reveal "I'm a Racist"

"What your t-shirt can do, you can do as well." If only it were that easy. Good try, though. But I wonder if neo-Nazis actually do laundry?

Too bad they didn't do this in Chicago. I hate Illinois Nazis.

I wouldn't have guessed that neo-Nazis ever washed their clothes, but it's a brilliant idea!

Can you create bumper stickers that read "I think, therefore I vote Republican" and have the "I think" wash off after a few rain showers and read "I'm dumb"?

A brilliant effort. Would have been hilarious to witness their confusion if a really hard rain storm had hit during the concert.

the shirts are definitely excellent, bitchin' even, but a word of caution: i know Ms Jardin is a friend of the show and all, but the last time i went to BoingBoing.com, a virus was attempted to be installed on my computer. almost surely it was from one of their ads, and not BoingBoing itself, but that was why it was the last time i was there.

now, i've got to google how they do that with the tees.
