Everyone's a Critic, Including a Certain Six Flags San Antonio Employee
Dear readers, kindly observe the T-shirt design to your right:
You may recognize it the swag of a certain indie rock band known as Oh No! Oh My! Their name is kind of silly, but if the entire blogosphere can lose it over Fuck Buttons, Oh No! Oh My! are certainly entitled to a goofy moniker. Now, examine the T-shirt design once more. See anything offensive? Yeah, the implication of cannibalism is kind of gross, but it's not as bad as a Stone Cold Steve Austin shirt, right? WRONG!
Robert Rich is a young Texas resident who also happens to be an Oh No! Oh My! fan, and he's pretty steamed at being denied entry to the Six Flags San Antonio two weeks ago. The reason? His shirt was too "offensive." So offensive, in fact, that Rich was questioned by multiple members of the park's security staff and ultimately turned away. After changing his shirt and entering the park, Rich took note of T-shirts that fit the Six Flags dress code.
"Throughout the course of the day, I learned some important lessons about what Six Flags will allow. These include: Nazi patriotism, as evidenced by the guy wearing a shirt with a swastika emblazoned on it; Emo/goth kids, as evidenced by the pink shirt worn by one depressing-looking individual that proudly stated 'Dead Kids Living'; and finally, anti-feminine softcore porn, as evidenced by the shirt featuring two bikini-clad women laying on top of each other, with the words 'Girls in Prison' printed under it. These images, ladies and gents, are all acceptable fare for entrance into the park, but cartoon baby-eating is strictly off limits."
"As irritated and upset as I was, I nearly burst out laughing when the woman then said, 'Plus, it says ‘My Ho’ on it.' I politely informed her that what she was reading was simply 'Oh My' upside down, and asked her when her last eye exam had been performed. That last part may or may not be true."
The only conclusion I can draw from this is that some Six Flags employees could use a lesson in prioritization or a subscription to Magnet. Really, I give up.

He should have told them that his shirt was a piece of pro-life propaganda.
