I was all "hey I wrote about that shirt on my blog today" and explained the context of it. Very cool.

Weird. Anyways, I said something like "I really hate hurtful speech and it bothered me a lot when some adults got so offended by some vulgarity that they insulted the youth and called them freaks. I'd rather hear the youth say cuss words than adults call kids names any day."

I actually think that because of it's "shocking" delivery, it actually lends to what the shirt is saying, at least if you want to immediately Christianize it. It's pretty much an encapsulation of what Jesus taught. Quit whining, follow me. And he started a revolution. It wasn't what people expected, but it's exactly what happened.

I think not letting it grab your attention the way the young man planned was a smart move.
