The Buyer's Guide to Horrifying Baby Clothes

Don't you love it when people run out of places for bumper stickers on the back of their cars and decide to use their kids instead? I sure do. Don't worry. You can find plenty of this sort of thing from the Democratic side as well. I just liked this one on Café Press the best since it implies that someone lets their toddler sleep with a gun to protect themselves from the President for extra special idiocy.

I've already run afoul of the anti-circumcision movement once before, so I'm used to it. I get that it's a very touchy subject and a lot of parents have strong feelings about it one way or the other. Myself, I could care less what you do or don't do to your son's foreskin, which is why I really wish you wouldn't dress them in shirts that immediately make me picture an infant's dick.

Finally, we have this gem from the National Organization for Marriage-sponsored Ruth Institute. Among other things, they believe that professional groups use drugs to delay puberty and increase the window of opportunity to pick sexual orientation, that women should use marriage to assuage any nagging feeling of wanting a career, and that a host of shady gay activities are done by shady gays. They also run a Café Press store selling this onesie. The most offensive thing about it? They want $31.99 for you to use your kid as a billboard for your bigotry.

After all, you can get an official Evil Wizard Jesus onesie with original artwork by Houston's own master spooky artist Bret Harmeyer for $10 less!
