Kanye West Bush Comment Becomes T-Shirt As soon as Kanye West went off-prompter during NBC's A Concert for Hurricane Relief Friday saying, "George Bush doesn't care about black people," enterprising t-shirt company Moe Wampum began marketing shirts with West's comment emblazoned upon them. Bucky Turco informs us the shirts are being promoted through the BlogAds ad network and appear on, among others, Gawker Media's Wonkette. Enjoy what you've read?

It advanced our knowledge of pop culture well beyond our years (Seriously, how else would most 9-year-olds know about Citizen Kane and Stanley Kubrick movies?) But aside from the dozens of references to movies, TV, and books that we had to ask our parents about, The Simpsons was also loaded with subtle and not-so-subtle sexual references.

I recently rewatched the entire series and noted ten particularly sexual jokes that, as a kid, slipped past my freakin' ears. (Note: By "The Simpsons," I mean the classic years of the show. Even as a kid, I knew something was dirty about Krusty's joke setup, I just didn't get what it was: "This guy walks into a bar and takes out a tiny piano and a twelve-inch pianist. I can't tell that one!" Dear 9-year-old me, welcome to Dick-jokesville. Even a prepubescent ignoramus could pick up on "the real deal" with Mr. Smithers, but although I got that he was latently gay, I missed a lot of the jokes that went along with it. Probably the most notorious example came in the third Treehouse of Horror episode when Mr. Burns asked for Smithers' opinion about taking Marge along in a ship full of sailors. Smithers' answer: "I think women and sea-men don't mix." As a kid, I did a pretty good impression of Ned Flanders, which basically entailed throwing "diddly" onto the end of words. But when watching "Bart The Lover," I did not understand why my parents chuckled at one particular line which was virtually diddly-free.

Now I get that Flanders accident-diddly-ally let out a few innuend-doodly-endos: "All of us pull a few boners now and then, go off half-cocked, make asses of ourselves. I don't want to be hard on you..." Black Mamba Tires LiteOh, 9-year-old me, you don't fully appreciate the simple pleasures of a good boner joke. Best Steam Mop Laminate Floors I was a couple of years older than Bart when "Homer's Phobia" aired, but both of us were too naive to pick up on his wonderful double entendre when he tells Homer that his Hawaiian shirt "came out of the closet." Savannah Cat For Sale SyracuseI honestly thought the punchline was the idea that Bart found a Hawaiian shirt in his closet. Why I thought that was funny, I don't know. (This is technically a 'sexual-orientation' joke more than an actually-sexual joke, but still, it wasn't exactly in my joke-getting wheelhouse back in 1997)

Homer and Marge have a pretty active sex life, as is made clear by their frequent references to "snuggling." (Snuggling totally means doin' it, you guys.) In hindsight, these peeks into their bedroom antics were pretty unsettling, given that Homer and Marge essentially raised me as my TV parents, but one line that sticks out as being particularly sexual appears in the episode "Whacking Day" when they discuss the fine art of snake-whacking. Homer asks seductively, "Should I whack slow or fast?" And Marge responds, "Slow...then fast." I understood that they were being frisky, but it would've melted my tiny brain to imagine Homer and Marge "whacking" anything. It's bad enough that when the busty Ms. Springfield says, "Gentlemen, start your whacking!" it made me feel all weird in the pants.Bo sells a t-shirt that says "Eat More Kale" from his home in rural Vermont. Titanic chicken sandwich chain Chick-Fil-A claims that this shirt infringes on their trademark for the slogan "Eat Mor (sic) Chikin' (sic)."

They've demanded that Bo shut down and turn over his website to them. Rather than capitulate, Bo is making a defiant documentary about his refusal, and he's raising funds on Kickstarter. Of course, I might not win --- the odds are against me. All over the country 'trademark bullies,' large corporations that bully small businesses over alleged claims of trademark infringement, are legally harassing small businesses and wearing them down with repeated lawsuits and appeals. In the face of overwhelming legal bills, most small businesses just give up. This is more than just plain wrong: it's un-American. By helping make this documentary I want to shine a light on this issue, my battle, and other trademark bullies, too. If I win, it's a great story; if I lose, it's a sad story. Either way, Jim and I think it's a story worth telling. It seems to me that there shouldn't be any valid trademark claim here. Leaving aside the spelling issue, the graphic presentation of "Eat More Kale" is very different from "Eat mor chikin."

The phrase "Eat more," is pretty generic, and is unlikely to result in confusion. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm inclined to think that if Bo can stay in the fight long enough -- that is, if they don't outspend him into oblivion -- he stands a chance of winning.
