Spanish Gallows Humor: "Cuts... Are Necessary"
It seems the underground economy in Spain is picking up. Hand-crafted T-Shirts have become all the rage as the youth of the country send a subtle message to their leaders... The good news - the shirts are still priced in EURs, likely signifying ongoing confidence in the failed monetary experiment. Although we are confident pricing in New Pesetas is available upon request.
Shirts available here.

In the USSA this would be classified as a terrorist shirt/activity.
What is that hole under the blade for?
GLORY
Wow, that 'neckbrace' would look fitted around a banksters neck. Any volunteers to drop the lever?
Por mis amigos, en espanol.

I love the translation that only French blood will be shed. Freudian?
Maybe 500+ million AMericans and Europeans.... Wait! I have an idea for a new lottery!

It's a castration glory hole. No latch so no heads.
I don't know, it's too small for Bernanke's giant fiat-spooging vein-laden meat pipe.
and too big for his weenie. LIESman told me
The guillotine has been replaced in the USA ... by the printing press.
ooooo ... that was a close one, thanks LoneStart, I cancelled my order :)
Hell, wearing a t-shirt with the American flag on it gets you branded as a domestic extremist these days.
Yes, it is probably safer to wear a "Che" T-Shirt.
The murdering bastard.
...And, let's not forget, Central Banker.
Yup, he was named President of the Central Bank of Cuba in November of 1959. You can buy old bank notes with his signature on EBay.
(Biased) details of his tenure can be found here, http://tinyurl.com/9dxou5k , in Spanish, after they load via a slow internet connection from Cuba.
I knew I could trust in the Spaniards to remember their heritage when it comes to uprisings, revolutions and finally civil war. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating any violence but when all diplomacy and education fails the side with the better argument needs to win. Lalaland can only go on for so long.
It is also noteworthy that European governments are speeding up the process to break up the banking system. A process that was ridiculed and rebuked only 2 years ago is now in full swing. Governments are taking action against banks is a common theme in Europe.
Behind the eight ball and too little too late or just in time? History will tell.
what's wrong with violence?
nothing, so long as the least violent side wins
Where is the American Goya when we need him?
Yes, but that's a bit of a paradox you got going there, amigo

Euro government and banks all swing from the same rope. The idea that one side will rein in the other is nonsense as it implies another side exists.
Even if "the people" rise up, they've already been effectively bankrupted collectively, so they'll find a choice of massive pain by breaking up the status quo, or merely moderate pain for going along with the game plan.
As long as the world runs on fiat "paper" there is no escape. There is only differing levels of pain, with different long/short term consequences.
Euro government and banks should all be swung from the same rope.
There, fixed it for you.
14000 sudden early retirements at senior levels in banls worldwide(except USSA).
A lot of arrests also.Strange none of this gets into the MSM here.
Yeah, so what. What are they going to do about it?
I want one
I am absolutely ordering one of these.
Just don't wear it to the airport.
Don't worry, TSA can't read Mexican.
Dont they have one in American?
DE PUTA MADRE
Wonder if there's a dumpster tee...
The First Cut Is The Deepest Lyrics Cat StevensI would have given you all of my heart
but there's someone who's torn it apartand she's taking almost all that I've got
but if you want, I'll try to love again
baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
I still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
and if you want, I'll try to love again
but baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

Does it come in a USA style?
What do you mean? It's already in Spanish and the instrument is universal.
Oh, silly me. 'Mericans will think it's an app for Mexicans. Yeah, better get on that and quick.
XXXL? Coming right up, sir!

This shirt will solve the China hard landing issue. 5 million orders are flowing through the sweatshops as we speak.
Fucking hysterical and apropos!
Do they make one with Herman Von Rumpboy's bloody head rolling off?
I will be offering a complete line of stickers that you can put on your shirt, and switch them out if you change your mind!
It will have a select group of murderers, but I will also offer custom so you do personalize.
RoadButcher, 44 Blubber, Little America, Little America
LOL
Bullish Spanish Guillotine manufacturers!!!
Odelay!
I wish it came in 2x and up so fat Americans like me could wear it.
... like Clint Eastwood's poncho -- fits all sizes!

Hmmm...I wondered.
"It is instructive to note that its use outside of France extended to its neighbours in most cases. Notable absentees from the list of countries that used the French-modelled beheading device include England, Spain and Portugal."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decapitation
"Spain
In Spain executions were carried out by various methods including strangulation by the garrotte. In the 16th and 17th centuries, noblemen were sometimes executed by means of beheading. They were tied to a chair on a scaffold. The executioner used a knife to cut the head from the body. It was considered to be a more honourable death if the executioner started with cutting the throat."
Does not make for as obvious a T-shirt but I'd buy one as shown.
Just bored.
This is my idea of some good High Frequiency TRIMMING.....it adds liquidity..good for the enviroment...cleaner air...bad for caterers...less summits...
That doesn't look like the Spiderman Towel I ordered
It's a joke on fiats, right?
Does that machine trim fiat notes or something?
It has to have something to do with fiats.
Don't think too much, use your fiat and you are fine.
Its a cigar clipper for Spanish bankers.
This whole thing with Rajoy delaying: he must already know tomorrow's EZ Services PMI numbers.
no its totally political.....bad manners too...you can´t get 100 billion one week....and then the next week ask for another 60 billion...its just bad manners..you HAVE to wait your turn....next week will be Greece again....
Why dont you find any Spaniards on Star Trek??
THEY DONT WORK IN THE FUTURE EITHER!!!
I laughed.
I thought Chekov was Catalan? No? Scotty was Irish I think, and he busted his ass
look at apple drag this bitch higher
I hope its made out of wash and wear material....it will be used quite a bit...
Stain resistance would be helpful.
In the face of "constant hostility" including lawsuits and a general lack of interest in promoting the industry, banks ought to leave New York and head for friendlier terrain, analyst Dick Bove said.
Rollin rollin rollin.
Keep them doggies movin

I dunno, takes too long to reload. Is there a semi-auto version?
I saw one there this summer - "I love my mortgage, she will never leave me" - yo quiero mi hipoteca, no me dejará nunca or something.
Sorry I never got a photo
I asked the barmen at the campsite if they'd be worried about going back to the peseta, and what it'd do to people's savings. That's not a problem, they said, as no-one has any.
Socialist Day Camp?
La Circumsizino.
A RED one please. With Van Rompuys head in the basket. O no, VR's head bouncing down the stairs. O no, with Angela caching Barosso's head while talking to msm. O no, Dimon pulling the string doing Gods work
This reminded me of a dispute between Iceland and Britain over the Icesave accounts, set up by Landsbanki, a private bank owned by one Bjorgolfur Thor Bjorgolfsson.
For some reason Gordon Brown decided to slap terrorist laws on Iceland to isolate Iceland from trade with other countries and make the blow from the banking crash more destructive.
Lots of people were wearing t-shirts saying "Im not a Terrorist", or some insulting comments about Brown, who is loathed in Iceland, and will be for all eternity.

In this article Paul Krugman calls Gordon Brown "a steady hand" in the global crisis :)
Yes, cuts are necessary.
Many , very many please.
They did some studies and found that lubrication was a big issue for devices like these. In France, there were so many head loppings required per day the blades started seizing up halfway through the job, creating a very messy situation for the executioners. I think modern day silicon technologies will most likely make this a mute point and forsee new versions of these machines which should give a lifetime of performance with very reasonable maintenaince costs.
Think screw drive grage door opener with automatic return. At last we get to screw them.
I betch DoChenRollerBearing guy can set you up with something that'll work. . .
who says government doesn't (indirectly) make jobs for people. Going to go out and order cotton shirts, lots of ink etc right now....with the fiscal cliff and our inept Congress at work (not) approaching I should make lots of $$$ ..now I just need a design and saying...........
T shirt slogan:
Lend and spend
Has come to an end
How about trimming Banker Bonuses?
..or CEO salaries?
...or those plush 7 course Brussels dinners?
unemployed bitchez
This brings proper meaning to the currently often used expression, especially by European financial policy makers, "haircut." Christine Lagarde is one of my first candidates for such a said exercise in "grooming."
I don't get it....
Isn't this Ben Shalom's Mogen tool for the synagoge at Marriner Eccles????
Too bad no Spaniards can afford to buy the T-Shirt.
