That's just great I wonder what mental giant thought of that one.
And then I just wonder if there is some way to get cafepress to realize
what the person who set that up is trying to promote. Maybe I will try
to contact them and see what response I get.

Hey that was quick! Here is the original message I sent cafepress and
the reply I received:

Here is my message to them:

Question: My problem is in the content of this store
http://www.cafepress.com/bullshit4u Do you realize what this person is
promoting? Do you think this is appropriate? I hope that you reconsider
the message that this store is promoting and take action about this content.

Ken

And here is the reply I received:

Thanks. I just emailed them. We definitely don't need any yayhoos running
around here wearing those shirts.

I don't see what the shirt has to do with them being yayhoos.

Is it offensive? Sure, but so what? Let the idiots buy their shirts; that
way, they nicely labelled so we can spot them when they're outside their
protective steel cages. Besides, putting on the shirt can't possibly
lower their IQ any further, and it sure won't affect their driving habits.

Going after the shirts makes little sense when the real problem is between
the ears.

For all I know the guys that created the designs are just doing a parody of
a cager. What I don't want is the other yayhoos thinking it's the beginning
of an organized anti-bike effort.

Life's too short to suppress everything that bugs you.

You know what's evil? hitting cyclists. You know what's not a big deal?
People engaging in voluntary product labelling.

But oh, I'm imagining how fun the court case would be the first time
someone with one of these bumper stickers hit a cyclist...

First degree murder with the death penalty and I don't even believe in the
death penalty.

And, despite anyone's best intentions, a message like that seems more
likely to inflame the jerks ("Don't tell *me* about the #@%^@# law,
a***h****!!!") than inform the reasonable. I wish that weren't true,
but I fear it is.

OTOH, perhaps a simple "Share the Road" message might be less likely
to irritate the unreasonable (?),

You would be so surprised (and disssapointed) at how many average jurors
share the view expressed on that mug/bumper sticker. Motorists generally
hate us, and juries are picked from voter and DMV records. Jurors are often
the retired and under-employed. Do the math. Hope that the under-employed
are a bunch of bicycle messengers. -- Jay Beattie.
 
According to the League of Illinois Bicyclists, they have pulled the
product.

The products get pulled and reappear, get pulled and reappear. Don't
know if it's a server caching sort of thing, the seller keeps putting
them up again, or Cafe Press can't make up their mind. At the moment,
they're back up again.

Seems like if you try to buy it they are marking the product no longer
available, but the image is still in the system.
