Burton embarassed over Russian Neo-nazi slogans

Yes! It made the papers! My mate Paddy found this t-shirt and emailed the Guardian about it! I was there when he made the call and it got it! Yes!

Anyways, since loads of t-shirts nowadays have 'chic' foreign writing on it, Burton had no idea that one of their recent designs is covered in Russian far-right slogans.

Needless to say, loads of my friends have already bought one!

I'm so pleased Paddy got into the paper!
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    At the bottom of the article
    Coca-Cola

    The corporation's slogan "Coke Adds Life" was reportedly translated into Thai as "Coke Brings Your Ancestors Back from the Dead".

    :lol:

    Here's a nice big piccy of it.

    There's the Tsarist eagle (which is still used on the Russian crest), the Orthodox cross in the middle of it, and the lovely Russian writing round the edge which roughly translates as 'We will cleanse Russia (Rus') from all non-Russians'.

    Charming, non?

    Heh very much so. I did a teeny bit of russian so can understand the phoenetics a bit. But not really the language. Incredible heh...

    ...I hope they'll be kept as souvenirs and you won't be attending political rallies with them though ;).
