Amazon pulls offensive `keep calm and rape them` T-shirts

Washington: Online retailer Amazon has been slammed for selling offensive T-shirts with slogans that seem to promote crime against women.`

Earlier on Saturday the firm launched T-shirts for sale with messages including "keep calm and hit her". According to the BBC, an Amazon statement said later "those items are not available for sale". The T-shirts are based on the World War II wartime propaganda slogan " keep calm and carry on." Among the 8,425 T-shirts offered for sale by the company on the Amazon site had offensive slogans like, "keep calm and knife her", "keep calm and rape them" and "keep calm and grope a lot". On Friday, US company Solid Gold Bomb apologised for selling the T-shirt and removed it from sale, saying a listing was automatically generated in error. (ANI)
