Fighters + Lovers = Terrorism

The Fighters and Lovers Web site shows male and female models posing with T-shirts emblazoned with the logos of the FARC and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

The company Fighters and Lovers gives part of the money from its T-shirt sales to radio stations and graphic workshops run by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia. The rebel army, which is known by its Spanish initials FARC and has about 17,000 members, has been fighting for socialist revolution since 1964 and has been classified as "terrorist" by both the European Union and the United States. Fighters and Lovers warns customers to expect trouble.

"When you buy Fighters+Lovers products you might experience legal problems because of U.S. or EU 'antiterrorist' legislation," it says on its Web site. But anyway, when was the last time you listened to someone who told you what you couldn't wear?"
