Tee'd Off

Upon exiting the subway car this afternoon (the uptown IRT local, if you?re a fanatic for details), I found myself walking behind a broad-shouldered man whose gray tee shirt bore the message ?Because I fucked your Mama.?

I can?t see how such an apparel statement enriches the public dialogue.

Or provides ?positive role-modeling? for today?s impressionable youth.

Perhaps ?Because I fucked your Mama? was the cheeky punchline to whatever was stenciled on the front of this crappy shirt, but I didn?t care to overtake its owner, glance back, and check, for fear of being misunderstood and possibly provoking an incident, a too-easy thing to do in these days of high humidity, as Spike Lee?s Do the Right Thing taught us.
