(This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb-centric)
Wiki says:
On March 2, 2006 at 5:30 am an Ohio University police officer spotted a bicycle attached to the Oasis restaurant bearing a promotional sticker for the band. The officer saw the words, "This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb" and became concerned. The area was cordoned off, and part of the campus was closed for several hours. The bicycle was subsequently destroyed by the Athens bomb squad despite assurances from the bike's owner that it was just a sticker. The owner, a graduate student, was initially charged with inducing panic, a misdemeanor. However, the charges were dropped a few days later. Later the student was awarded money for the damages to his bicycle.[1][2]
A similar incident occurred in 2001, when a police officer spotted and detained a woman at an Austin, Texas peace rally. Her bicycle was also labeled with the band's sticker. The woman was released after the band's existence was confirmed.[3]
On March 14, 2006 Bellarmine Hall at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, PA was evacuated because of another bicycle with the band's name painted on it. No charges were filed.[4]
i feel a little vulnerable in my Silver Jews tee
you either get stares from left-wing anti-Zionists or an earful from right-wing Nazi-types. it has "Peace" written underneath it so it's barely passes - i think i look like i've just come from a Jewish summer camp.
I have a jewish friend who sometimes wears a tee shirt............
with six M16 rifles arranged into a Star of David and the words 'Settlement Defender' emblazoned underneath.
He's actually opposed to zionism, but likes to wind people up!
haha
i do get a kind of embattled feeling when i go out in it.
I have an Israeli Air Force t-shirt
It's pretty metal.
Death From Above Everyfuckingyear!
Two of my friends got taken home
by the feds for wearing a "Jesus is a Cunt" t-shirt and one with an inverted cross and some vaguely Nazi looking symbols. Idiots.
Sounds like the infamous Cradle of Filth tee shirt
Ah that would be it
I knew it was some shite hawks or other but it slipped my mind. The police should be arresting people for listening to Cradle of Filth. Perhaps lock em up for 42 days playing only the hits of James Brown until they are cured.
aren't the t-shirts
the only interesting thing about CoF?
That and the piercings
my
'Klaxons are Cunts' t-shirt gets many an evil eye when walking down a north devon high street. And the offering of 'come on, you've got one' to a pensioner doesn't go down well
Hilarious.
You must be a really funny guy.
Look at the username.
I read a This Bike is a Pipe Bomb story
on the Plan-It-X site the other day.
Good band...
and in answer to your question - only if getting chased by scumbags (i suppose you'd call them chavs now, being poor, stupid and tracksuited as they were but the term wasn't in common usage then) who wanted to beat us up for being "goths" and "hippies" because of our metallica t-shirts counts.
i also got in trouble for having
Arab Strap on my ipod - i tried explaining what an arab strap was, but that just made everybody angrier.
I was accused of being a racist not long ago....
on the grounds that I was wearing a Minor Threat shirt.
The premise was that they have a song called 'Guilty of being white' and OBVIOUSLY this song must be a rallying cry for aryan pride types.
Yes, obviously. If you're FUCKING STUPID!
you should read
the youtube comment arguments about this, nazi punks fuck off, and white minority.
WINK SLASH TONGUEOUT
Oh Christ, YouTube commenters are infuriating.
I'm generally not in favour of making massive sweeping statements about large sections of people, but if you were to execute everyone who had ever posted a response to a YouTube video the world would be a vastly improved (and grammatically correct) place.
its funny winding people up on them
well it is for a few minutes anyway
its true though
ian mckaye= historys greatest monster.
my limp wrist t shirt always goes down well. 'fags hate god' :D
i also have a MDC patch on the back of my newly aquired jacket, slightly nervous wearing that one.
Haha!
Better not wear that near the cop shop.
im seriously worried
but it doesnt seem to obvious in its cop bashing so i think ill get away with it for the most part
i saw a Black Flag one
with "Make me come faggot" with a gun in a policeman's mouth. i'm not sure, but there may be a double-negative piss-off there and you may be okay.
my mate has that
its pretty cool
who are MDC by the way?
you're not in Zimbabwe currently are you?
Millions Of Dead Cops
is probably their best known name, but they changed it fairly often to things that all made MDC, hence the name.
Theyre excellent, if you like stuff like Dead Kennedys i'd advise you to check them out.
i think its slightly less risky than wearing an MDC
jacket in zimbavwae at the moment
that's a great idea.
i'll listen to some of them then - start with Millions of Dead Cops then go onto their other names?
yeah thats as good a place to start as any
You can get Millions of Dead Cops and More Dead Cops together on CD fairly easily
oh and remember to let me know what you think!
Mackaye is always being misunderstood
by unstable and idolatrous people.
i have a black lips one with a gun on it
someone told me it might look racist
The delicious ironing being that........
you'd need to be pretty racist to make that logical leap of faith in the first instance.
i'd like to think that me wearing it
is bringing out all the bigots in slough. i am an innocent
black rebel motorcycle club
i often wonder if people think it's a t-shirt for an actual biker gang!
i remember a story from the band's earlier days where a biker gang showed up to one of their gigs thinking that they were a rival gang or something.
how disappointed they must have been
to find 3 pussies playing some really dull shite.
the worst i ever had
was some loud tutting from an old woman over my nirvana 'corporate rock whores' shirt. oh those rebellious days!
When I was 16
I wore the Manic 'Holy Bible' T Shirt (with lots of Christs in a vaguely Andy Warhol style) to my Catholic Convent School's RE conference day. Did not go down well at all. In fact it went down as well as someone with a broken jaw.
Only
just got that joke.
Subtle humor is a thing of beauty
many, many
years ago my boyfriend had his Therapy? tee confiscated and arrested because there were some swear words on it.
It ended up in the papers and was given backstage passes to a Therapy? gig :)
Many more
years ago, I got into multiple scraps because I had a tee with the front print "Rave Sucks" and the back print "Pure Fuckin' Rock".
It's still true though.
I have in my possession
an original 1972 Cod War protest T Shirt.
Cod War:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cod_Wars
On the front it has a picture of Iceland with "200 Milur" denoting the demand for 200 mile fishing boundaries
On the back it says
"Burt Med Bretan" or "Away with Britain" in Icelandic.
It will never be beaten, as is yet to get me into trouble.
I have different reactions
to my Earlies 'One Of Us Is Dead' T shirt. In Toronto, I was walking past a huge conference where they were discussing AIDS and I was stopped and hugged.
But flying from Calgary airport, they thought that I was a terrorist. I had to explain that I wasn't having a pop at them.
'Cod Wars...
not to be confused with the Cold War.'
haha, thankyou wikipedia.
i bought a marilyn manson hoody for my friends 13th birthday
and it had him on a cross saying 'I am the anti-christ' lol
what was i thinking
needless to say his mtoher was not pleased and swapped it for another..
mother*
My
Gay Against You t-shirt started a difficult conversation with my father once..
I had a Manics t shirt
that said 'Braindead Motherfucker' on it - that went down well on own clothes day.
I had a
Butthole Surfers shirt with the muscley ladies crotch shot (from Rembrandt pussy horse) on the back. i'd turn round and hear people go "what is that?". I hated havin to explain...
the band name itself
is bad enough, if you'd have never had heard of em
Not really.
One of my friends was sent home from school because he was wearing the Soulfly 'Jump Da Fuck Up!' t-shirt. Also, another got some funny looks because of his Amen 'Terrorist Action Group' t-shirt. He doesn't wear it anymore.
yep
Whilst at Uni a girl spilt her snakebite and black on my Housemartins tshirt, and I ended up marrying her.
^ Beautiful.
when i was at school
i used to wear a "refused are fucking dead" t shirt. no said anything. however, someone else in my year had their "fuck you i won't do what you tell me" shirt confiscated.
i think the teachers respected me for liking cooler bands then the other guy.
Would you believe
I got suspended for wearing my Reading Bollocks To Poverty t-shirt to Sixth Form? It wasn't even a statement, I just didn't have any clean clothes
I get a few concerned looks
when I wear my Arab Strap 'I didn't shag him' tee.
I had this
Reading 92 bootleg long sleeve tshirt for ages and ages and didn't notice the legend "FUCK READING 92" on the back, had worn it round school by then and although no one said anything I was treated a bit coldly...
Though did get roughed up in the street once for wearing my Suede t-shirt (with the first album cover on), not fun...
Goodm thing it wasn't the infamous.........
'Gayanimalsex' design!
My Comanechi t-shirt
has got a few looks.
Hmm.
I have a bag with the Van She V fingers on, and i don't cause much trouble - apart from the odd look from disapproving pensioners.
I do sometimes turn it around though if i feel like i'm going to offend someone!
elderly woman on the bus...
apprehended me for wearing a shins t-shirt.
she was very adamant that i was biologically inept.
'your shins are underneith your knee! not on your chest! thats just silly!'
Marilyn Manson
Dope fiend t shirt, got my friend suspended from school many moons ago well ten anyway
spodnirodni...
If that really is true, that's gold :)
didnt this happen
to godspeed you!black emperor?
I felt a tad nervous after ATP
after I got a bunch of odd stares from old people on the bus back home with my new 'Mono - You Die' tee with a picture of a gun on it. Didn't even think about it when I bought the thing...
