He also wants La Ronde and Six Flags to apologize to Marley's family.

 

Interesting -- and cool -- demand!

Maybe they should have a big pile of tshirts to hand out to offending patrons, Anita Bryant on the front and James Dobson on the back, or maybe Sarah Palin and Stephen Harper (both would have the benefit of portraying people who are suitably white enough too!).

If your sarcasm detector is not functioning, please flag as offensive.

And um this isn't about a t-shirt.

Well dye me pea green and call me a walrus, I am so surprised to hear that. (Is your detector ringing yet?)

Boycott Six Flags. What kind of a shitty company decides to lose customers based on what they wear? Apparently they have already been sued for similar issues.

 

I'm guessing it had to do with racism and extreme right wing nuttiness (I hear both are catching on!)

Speaking of family, back in the early 80s a couple of buddies and I were downtown goofing around, and we each were wearing Bob Marley t-shirts.  We must have looked somewhat odd in doing so because a girl running a hot-dog stand asked us "What's with the Bob Marley t-shirts?"

I quickly replied, "He's our dad."

Got a giggle.
