Company removes 'rape' shirt listed on Amazon

Twitter users erupted in anger Saturday after discovering shirts listed on Amazon with a slogan that appeared to promote rape and violence against women.

The shirt read "Keep Calm and Rape On" and was available on Amazon's UK website. The company that prints the shirts, U.S.-based Solid Gold Bomb, removed the listing after it was notified of the slogan.

    "The company that prints the shirts, U.S.-based Solid Gold Bomb, removed the listing after it was notified of the slogan." Wouldn't the company already know what the shirts says, being as they printed it in the first place? Makes no sense.

      I respectfully disagree with you on this one. I do not think it is ignorant or disrespectful. Just think what they r about.
