"  Last week, our government renewed the Violence Against Women Act. Major win. (And about damn time.)  Soon after though, a U.S.-based clothing company decided it would be an awesome idea to sell t-shirts on Amazon that celebrated rape and abuse against women. Um, yeah\u2026major fail.  The shirts, created by Solid Gold Bomb, read &amp;quot;Keep Calm and Rape a Lot&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Keep Calm and Hit Her,&amp;quot; playing off the (now played out) World War II phrase &amp;quot;Keep Calm and Carry On.&amp;quot; Seriously? First of all, rape jokes are so not funny. Second of all, these slogans can&amp;#039;t even qualify as &amp;quot;jokes&amp;quot; since they don&amp;#039;t actually make any sense.  After receiving a ton of well-deserved complaints, Amazon pulled the shirts, and the company apologized. But it wasn&amp;#039;t until later that Solid Gold Bomb pulled similar, just as offensive ts like &amp;quot;Keep Calm and Knife Her&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Keep Calm and Punch Her,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Keep Calm and Grope a Lot.&amp;quot; (Honestly, how on earth did the people working at the company come to the conclusion that these were acceptable t-shirt phrases? And that anyone in his right mind would pay money for one?)  But while these uber icky ts are now no longer for sale, shirts with the slogan &amp;quot;No Fat Chicks&amp;quot; are still available in pretty much every color imaginable on the company&amp;#039;s Amazon page.  Wow. Really classy, guys.  Want more from Natasha? Follow her on Twitter or find her on Facebook. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
