Some students at Penn St. University created a t-shirt that contains 2 perpendicular lines.

So the Jewish Anti-Defamation League has decided that it looks like a cross and has made it known that they are offended.

Why?

Penn State says it has received six complaints about the shirt, including one from the Anti-Defamation League's Philadelphia branch, from people who say it connotes a Christian cross.

Sometimes we need a third world war to put things back into perspective.

The idea that they can be offended by this t-shirt is absolutely baseless.

theres a lot fo money in pointing at and screaming racism or anti-semetism.

jesse Jackson has squeezed MILLIONS out of companies claiming they are racist, and the ADL is not much different. They dont really go after real racism, just shit like this to get in the news and make people pissed off.

its like, if you dont throw fuel on the fire, what good are orgs like this? they only get money if they can prove racism/anti-semetism exists, so THEY CREATE IT.

The ADL keeps racism and anti-semetism alive and most likely aims to keep it that wya so they continue to get money from people, its quite simple.

Bill Mahon, vice president for university relations, said six people have contacted Penn State to voice their objections to the shirt's design.

"Six complaints is not a controversy," Mahon wrote Foxnews.com. "Students submit shirt designs to the student paper each year. Students then vote for their favorite design and they are sold in the campus bookstore."

Stephanie Bennis, a senior at the school, said she created the shirt's design in March with fellow public relations major Emily Sabolsky, and in no way did they intend to create religious overtones. Like Mahon, she said the single blue stripe is a nod to the university's football program.

"That was the entire idea," she said. "And all we thought was normally wording goes right across the chest. That's truly the reason why we did it."

Bennis said she was "very shocked" when she learned the university had received complaints about the design.

"It's just sad to see that in this day and age, the most offensive thing on a shirt can be what people see as a religious symbol," she said.

"Are we going to ban lowercase t's in the alphabet? Where do you draw the line?"

and wow they actually have college kids with brains for once!

"It's a little blown out of proportion," senior John Shoemaker said. "I kind of see where they're coming from, but I don't think it was designed as a religious statement."

Shoemaker, who purchased one of the shirts for $15 to wear at Penn State's loss to Iowa last month, said they're "relatively common" on the State College, Pa., campus.

Nick Mangus, a senior majoring in East Asian studies, described the controversy as "ridiculous" and said images of crosses can be seen virtually anywhere, even in "tiles on the floor."

"Honestly, I think it's basically people just trying to stir up controversy over something that's ridiculous," Mangus said. "If you don't want to buy it, don't buy it. It's that simple. You don't have to try and force everyone else to change their ways because you think it's offensive."
