After weeks of terrible reporting from the Michigan Daily, they’ve finally given OTR something to work with. Recently, South Quad sold T-Shirts to their residents with the Superman logo in front, and “Superman that …” on the back. Sexual Assault Prevention Awareness Center, University Housing and The F-Word (feminists) all denounced the T-shirts and successfully pushed for a stop to production.

Sensitivity, sensitivity, sensitivity. What’s the world coming to when the mothers of 10 year-olds in a ballet class are more liberal than a college campus? The shirt doesn’t even say “ho” on the back, it’s just a “…”, you could fit anything in there. Maybe it could imply “Superman that Lex Luther” and thus provide an inspiring message of saving the world. How about “Superman that WMD” and portray a political message to sling the world’s nuclear missiles into space?

This is a huge overreaction. There are lyrics in songs and phrases on shirts that are far more degrading to women than the implication of sticking a blanket on her back with special glue. And for all we know, the Soulja Boy Ho may have given consent to be Supermanned, nobody even bothered to ask.

There are new and more appropriate shirts presently in production, this time the back states “Superman that SAPAC Ho!” They will be sold in the Union for $5 each.
