Go on... rape her... she won't report it... [UniLad magazine article]

Men did not design the tshirts. Read the report.

Computer generates them, idiots buy the offensive ones - the offensive ones then feature on Amazon.

Who generates the list of words the computer chooses from? I'm not convinced the program just gets fed the OED and is left to churn out what would be 95% nonsense.

Leeds!

In which case you probably say "jemmeh".

Amazon sells all kinds of horrible stuff through their resellers:

A knife isn't "horrible, firks, it's a knife*. It's what some people choose to do with the knife that is horrible.

*Most Fairbairn-Sykes knives reside on the walls of 30-40 year old single blokes who still live with their parents, and have never been used for anything more horrible than digging out toecheese.

I live in Leeds, I'm not from Leeds!

 

[_angel_]

I live in Leeds, I'm not from Leeds!

I'm both and don't know what either means.

I'm both and don't know what either means.

Jimmy means to use a tool that slips down between the window and body of a car door in order to 'pick' the lock.

Jemmy means to prise open a door with a crowbar or similar tool.

They've got over half a million T-shirts up there, and are expected to hit a million shortly (according to C4 News, anyway). The majority make no sense.

That is hit and hope random generation, not a carefully thought out product line. There's so many people selling Keep Calm tat, these are just lazy fuckers trying to take advantage and getting burnt.

 

[maomao]

By the look of the photos they don't even print them out unless you order one. All the creases are in the same place and the letters have been superimposed.

 

[ymu]

Precisely. They'd be an awful lot better off just letting people type in the message they want. It would be a lot less bother for both them and their customers.

 

[maomao]

Keep Calm and Shoot a Tory in the Face.

I'd buy that.

Computer says no.

Here's a reseller I'd rather not give publicity too, think I am gonna report this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/s?ie=UTF8&field-keywords=KSAS Supplies&index=clothing&search-type=ss

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Military-Pr...YUYM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362256250&sr=8-1

I complained.

If you click through the shirts (which go in alphabetical order), it does appear that the word after "Keep calm and" is a random verb, however, the last word is certainly pre-decided as there are only a certain words (a lot, in, me, it, not, off, on, out, them, us ... and her). "Him" does not appear to feature.

Yep.
I did know a bloke who collected knives, as in "displayed in a fuck-off big glass-fronted mahogany cabinet". He was, it has to be said, partnerless.

It'd look quite realistic if you accidentally caught your finger in it, I suppose,

By this point in the meme evolution, "Keep Calm And... " is an affront to human taste and decency WHATEVER happens to follow it.
