placingon a shirt a man that can easily match adolf hitler is really not done: zero points and a whipping with a wet noodle. Shame on you.

Good old JS! He would totally be down with topical humor. I can picture it now a communist Seinfield on stage, "Whats with the Gulag Archipelago? It's not like Solzhenitsyn actually died in a Gulag! I mean come on people! Take a joke!" Stalin sitting back sipping a Min Julip (why can't he have mint julip?) laughing to the point of tears. "I take that quote back about the whole why let them have ideas thing! This guy, this commerad is a funny guy. I love ideas!" shouts a very Happy Stalin. Then hearts pop out of his head. Yeah I can see that. That's why I would buy this shirt and wear it to a Gulag support group meeting. 5$ Quality.

A Gulag Support Group meeting as an equivalent to an Auschwitz Support Group meeting? "Unfortunately our millions of former members couldn't make it to the festival"? It remains a tasteless shirt. However hard you try to convince me of the opposite.

http://www.moreorless.au.com/killers/stalin.htm

"Kill tally: Approximately 20 million, including up to 14.5 million needlessly starved to death. At least one million executed for political "offences". At least 9.5 million more deported, exiled or imprisoned in work camps, with many of the estimated five million sent to the 'Gulag Archipelago' never returning alive. Other estimates place the number of deported at 28 million, including 18 million sent to the 'Gulag'."

Happy survival group meeting...

Face it, Stalin's dead. Move on! It's not like this shirt is saying he was a great guy or anything! Sheesh!

funny because it says that Stalin loves topical humor...because Stalin wasn't funny, so it's ironic. and funny. next do a shirt with the printed definition of "irony". rock on.

hmmm... I like humour as much as the next guy, but I tend to agree with tumdiedum... some things are best not joked about.



And to say that tumdiedum has NO sense of humour is stupid. I don't like racist jokes, am I also missing my sense of humour? What Stalin did was a holocaust, and last time I check that kind of humour sorta sucks.

the shirt isn't at all saying that what Stalin did was funny. It's just making an ironic joke. you seem to be thinking too much into it.
