All Farced Up

That headline is as close to obscenity as you'll ever see on Cheat- Seeking Missiles. I have to admit that I am a bit "T"-ed off with this story.

A Danish fashion firm -- if you can call that T-shirt fashion -- as imprinting the logo of Farc, the Columbian communist terrorist guerilla group, on its T-shirts. Bad enough. But worse, they're donating five Euros to Farc from each T-shirt sale.

Another T-shirt carries the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine logo, and sales from those shirts will generate money for the bus-and-bistro bombers of that sick group.

BBC reports that the firm, Fighers and Lovers, and its customers might get in hot water in the US, England and Denmark, all of which have laws against providing financial support to terrorist groups. Let's hope so.

Fighters & Lovers says they're not worried:

"We are absolutely not worried about being dragged to court and sentenced. It's our customers who decide to buy our T-shirts and support these groups. And we have the right to fight for something, for justice or the right to education, which Farc and the PLFP are fighting for."

Easy for him to say. He lives in Denmark, where the worst that could happen to him is a fine and some time in what's probably a really swell jail. If he lived in Bogota or Jerusalem, he might think a bit differently. There Farc or the PLFP just might blow him up, using money his T-shirts sent their way.

Moral relativism at its best, eh?
