Honestly, I'd be up for a generic serial killer shirt e.g. I'm only smiling 'cause they haven't found the bodies. They are generic, dark humour.
I have a problem, personally, when it references a case/killer whose victims families are still around.

Well it's definitely inappropriate then! Lol!I think it was Flavor-Aid the dead drank, not Kool-Aid. So much for jokes!
It's a bit like cognitive dissonance in a way!Yeah, but the inaccurate meme (Kool-Aid) has got around and installed itself so reality is meaningless.
Hmm. They should have done a version with the sarcophagus. Surely such a feat of modern engineering is worth a snowglobe.
I don't know which website it was that's illustrated above, but ...Wee Scots lassie , may I ask which website that is ? I'd like to browse it.

It's a classic cultural inappropriation.do wonder whether this ring is entirely suitable (or indeed inspirational) for a girl's 13th birthday!
As ever, you put it so more eloquently than I ever could!It's a classic cultural inappropriation.
Context, as ever, is everything.
This is being seen as being a neutral encouragement in Universal Standard English by a non-native speaker (I'll sterotypically-presume mainland Chinese, but quite possibly from elsewhere).
(Maybe it now *is* a neutral incentivising statement, and you @blessmycottonsocks and I are in an ever-diminishing constituency of sociolinguistic stick-in-the-muds)

Friend of a colleague had a tattoo on his neck of his name ‘Kyle’, whilst on holiday in Kavos.View attachment 41023
Yes.... indeed the ring design does appear to originate from mainland PRC.
But some westerners make bad mistakes in just as much (blind) good faith:

Why would you have your name tattooed on you? Is it so you don’t forget it? Or is it helpful when trying to pick up potential partners in noisy bars?Friend of a colleague had a tattoo on his neck of his name ‘Kyle’, whilst on holiday in Kavos.
When he looked at it in the mirror it didn’t look right. The tattooist had tattooed ‘KFC’ on his neck.
Identification of body parts.Why would you have your name tattooed on you? Is it so you don’t forget it? Or is it helpful when trying to pick up potential partners in noisy bars?
On that basis you’d need to have it done in a few places. What would be the minimum do you think? Torso, each leg, each arm, neck, maybe each foot? Down your nose?Identification of body parts.
could have been worse.. could have been top trumps!I'm tempted to buy these for my best friends 40th in August. She loves horror films so I reckon she might appreciate these! View attachment 40131
