Best Nazi T-Shirt Ever

By Jeffrey Goldberg
Aug 10 2011, 9:27 AM ET Comment

Sorry for not blogging this week, I'm in the middle of a thousand things. But I had to highlight the world's greatest Change-O T-shirt:

Attendees at a nationalist, right-wing concert in Germany were duped into wearing souvenir T-shirts that at first bared a pro-nationalist stance and symbology but later revealed an anti-far right message offering assistance after they had been washed.

The t-shirts originally read "hardcore rebels" and sported a skull and nationalist flags. However, once the garment had been washed, the shirt revealed a new message that offered to help far-right extremists break away from the neo-Nazi scene.

The message reads:

"If your T-shirt can do it, you can do it too -- we'll help you get away from right-wing extremism."

Read the whole thing; it's a great story.
