    Bush T-Shirt Contest

    Announcing a new contest: design a pro-democracy, pro-freedom of choice T-shirt. The catch is, you have to find the model. And that is why there was a wave of international censorship after George W Bush appeared at the window of an Irish castle wearing a white undergarment, rather than his traditional shirt and tie. It would be ridiculously easy to do this, which is why it’s apparently such a big deal that the Irish presidency issued a hastily written memo within minutes of the incident.
