Amazon Pulls Rape A B**** Shirts!

A real laugh riot! Nothing is funny about rape. I guess the company that allow this to appear is facing backlash.

The actual shirt were published by Solid Bomb Gold, a U.S. based clothing seller. After a weekend of firestorm from the shocking shirts, Amazon decided to pull the shirts.

There were three shirts that many deemed offensive. Some of these shirts had phrases like "keep calm and rape her alot", "keep calm and knife her" and "keep calm and grope a lot!"

Now think about how dumb these shirts are!

As a Black man, I find these shirts to be offensive.

I would never wear this type of outfit while dating a woman. If I would wear this shirt in the general public, I might have the police called on me!

That's the type of stuff a douche would wear in order to impress a group (i.e. jocks, fraternity, and Halloween costumes).

The Guardian from the United Kingdom reports that an apology from Solid Gold Bomb was issued before another public apology also appeared on Twitter. Solid Gold Bomb had its social networking accounts deactivated.

The American clothing company Solid Gold Bomb blamed an automated computer dictionary for its series of the items emblazoned with offensive phrases such as "Keep Calm and Rape a Lot" and "Keep Calm and Hit Her", based on the much reproduced "Keep Calm and Carry On" second world war poster.

The company said it had received death threats and its Twitter account was bombarded with scores of angry messages, many of which said: "Rape is not a joke."

Would you wear this shirt?

It closed its Facebook and other social media accounts on Saturday morning and left a message on its website which read in part: "We have been informed of the fact that we were selling an offensive T-shirt primarily in the UK. This has been immediately deleted as it was and had been automatically generated using a scripted computer process running against hundreds of thousands of dictionary words.

"Any offensive items that are remaining are certainly in the deletion queue and will be removed as soon as the processing is complete. Although we did not in any way deliberately create the offensive T-shirts in question and it was the result of a scripted programming process that was compiled by only one member of our staff, we accept the responsibility of the error and are doing our best to correct the issues at hand. We're sorry for the ill feeling this has caused!"

Based on Amazon's typical charges, the internet retailer was likely to be making just over £1 on each sale.

Amazon is no stranger to controversy. The site's U.S. operation faced criticism for briefly selling a book described as a pedophile's guide. In 2008 it had to pull from sale T-shirts lauding Nazi leaders.

Both companies were bombarded with complaints and Solid Gold Bomb later closed its Twitter account. The T-shirts were still on sale in Germany on Saturday.

Amazon deleted most of the offensive "Keep Calm" range but continued to promote the company's shop.
