I'd Rather Shower at Penn State?

Let the name calling, blind rage filled rants, degradation of a a whole state and fan base begin!

There is a "fan" (I say fan this way because it actually originated in Louisiana and a copy is being printed for Iowa Hawkeyes) printed Tee shirt floating out and about for The Ohio State Buckeyes and it seems to be causing quite the uproar. its red with white lettering and reads "I'd rather shower at PENN STATE, than cheer for the Wolverines."   It seems to be a love hate relationship.  Some seem to love it others hate it and are attempting to ban it Entirely.

In the name of rational and not emotional sensationalism lets look at this a little more logically.  The first being why is this making national headlines now given it was contrived for LSU fans as far back as June if not sooner?  Is it's perceived attachment to Ohio State that much more offensive simply because it's Ohio State?  Given the uproar the answer would have to be YES.  The LSU shirt and even the Iowa version have received virtually no backlash/attention.  Don't Believe me google it 90% of headlines site OSU with only a mere mention that like shirts have been made for LSU and Iowa. USA Today, among others Attach the shirt primarily and almost Exclusively to Ohio State.

Who suffers the backlash?  The OSU fans get put down, called degrading names and demonized.  The Blatant Bias against OSU and its fans should be as much a reason for taking offense but is it? No its just accepted, but ITS OSU FANS WHO ARE the Intolerant ones?

Now that said is the slogan funny? Offensive? Too Soon?  If you have the ability to think Rationally the answer is yes to all 3. Now before you get hell bent, and on your soap boxes think about this.  To Some this would be and reasonably so Very offensive.  However just because it's offensive to some doesn't nor SHOULD it mean that Everyone is to be offended by it.  You have the right to life liberty and the PURSUIT of happiness you have NO RIGHT TO NEVER HEAR, SEE, or READ something you find offensive.  So on that point Get over your self-righteous.  To some but not all this would be a laugh riot and hilarious as it should be given its FACT that a great deal of people cope w/ tragedy with humor, dark or otherwise.  Could that be misunderstood to be insensitive? Yes. Dose that mean that they don't think something they make a joke about is wrong or a travesty? NO!  Only an irrational, closed minded, intolerant person would demand Everyone think and see every thing as they do.  Is it too soon to make a joke about a travisty as child sexual abuse?  Again its Always going to be too soon to some, Never too soon for others and to yet even more will say they don't know and can see it from both sides, group 3 being the rational adults of the 3. 

All that said... PERSONALLY, I think its funny, wrong as it may be it's still funny.
