Weird shit.<\/p>\n

‘Nationalist’ Australian clothing company True Blue Productions<\/a><\/strong> — which, while claiming to be “100% Aussie”, uses t-shirts manufactured overseas by Gildan Activewear<\/strong>* — is engaged in a guerilla advertising campaign called ‘The Great Australian Bikini March’. According to ‘Christine Hawkins’, “outraged Australian women and their male supporters will reassert Australian values by taking to the streets in a bikini march on… mosques on Saturday December 9, 2006”. In Melbourne, Christine claims that “the march will end at the Islamic Information & Support Centre of Australia<\/a><\/strong> in Brunswick, headquaters of Sheik Mohammed Omran<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

The march follows hot-on-the-heels of another attempt (by the same company) to cash-in on Sheik Hilaly<\/em>‘s well-publicised comments likening women to ‘uncovered meat’<\/a>:<\/p>\n

WOMEN are being encouraged to “show the Sheik how things really are and Sheik your booty in this quality infidel clothing”.<\/p>\n

An entrepreneurial Sydney man is cashing in on the controversy surrounding outspoken cleric Sheik Hilaly by flogging a range of “uncovered meat” t-shirts, aprons and g-strings.<\/p>\n

Sold through US online site cafepress.com<\/a>, the apparel [boasts] a pink cat embossed with the words “uncovered meat”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even if the event flops, which it will (who the hell wants to march to a mosque in a bikini?), it’s certain to draw attention to the fledgling business, contribute to economic growth, and be welcomed by all Right-thinking columnists.<\/p>\n
