Don't be silly.
If you are challenged by armed police, I'd suggest you do as they ask you, particularly if you're in a city on a high terror alert.

It's a great idea. let's think here, target market would be youths, college students and maybe even high school students. It would appeal to the goths and punks too due to the fact it would highly offend such a huge portion of the population.

Jeez, these fakers on Xiang Yang market are very fast! I saw some near perfect copies already this morning next to the Adadis and the Tomy Hillfrigger:The Smoking Man said:
" Fruit of the Shanghai real-estate boom"
" Bombers do it with 74 virgins but play safe and follow the one child policy"
"My other car is Chinese"
In the CD shops they sell "Bomb and circumstance" again.
I also saw a new line of "throw away" rucksacks. Padded Jackets were also abundant on the market, I heard they are genuine because of a Brazilian order that was cancelled.

Yeah, it's a great one. We can do it in bold red blood font overtop of a picture of OBL with a big grin/grimace on his face holding a big Nintendo-esque bomb (you know, the big black round thing with a fuse on top). It's a gold mine.The Smoking Man said:I have to admit, I teared up over 'Got Jihad!' too.

I don't know about the mustouche, we have to make sure we don't violate any copyright or trademark laws. But we'll go as far as we can.
