When I saw the first photo, my first thought was "Oh, how sweet - they got together and they're taking care of each other now." THEN I read the background material.
You'll note that I'm not placing the content or links to it here: I have no interest in 'blogging in the far more foul language I'd use if I were asked in person about this, and I won't give the vendor the satisfaction (though I heartily commend Gawker readers et al for overloading the vendor's Website as they have).
The very idea that somebody in the Xtian community thinks that taking the shame out of a subject so they can talk about the, um, shamefulness of the subject is obscene. The "ex-slave" items I thought were particularly tasteless, though I can't say a whole lot for any of the products. And once again we have fanatics doing anything to get their message out - with no regard for accuracy, decency or the end uses of the medium in question.

It sucks to be the younger sibling that has to get that shirt as a hand-me-down.
My own comment (shamelesly reposted here): "I see things like this and I keep hearing the Purifier from Chronicles of Riddick: "We all began as something else." Of course, that was talking about joining a missionary genocidal death-worshiping cult... OH.
