Holy crap. What kind of world do we live in when a freaking t-shirt has to be analyzed for political correctness. Did anyone see the boobs on the picture of this t-shirt… ? I would think that would mean that this t-shirt would be for ladies. I think everyone in the Ubuntu Community is awesome no matter what their gender, race, religion, etc… A t-shirt is not to hurt feelings. It is to brag that you are part of this community. I would wear “Ubuntu for blonde haired, blue eyed, male, that likes to cook and ski on his free time” if it would make a difference. The neat thing about freedom is that you could add anything you would like to the back of that t-shirt and it will be o.k. My wife agrees with me on this and so does several other woman that use Ubuntu only with no Windoze in their life. Most of whom are probably going to order this shirt just to piss off the ones that think it belittles them…. Move on to bigger and better arguments.
