Teasing Tees with T's

Newark, New Jersey, August 2, 2004:

A couple of men returning home from a Puerto Rican vacation were ejected from an American Airlines flight because one man was wearing a T-shirt depicting a bare breast.

Ronatarian Party presidential candidate Ron and his running mate Brad were forcibly removed from Flight 952 on Sunday after Ron refused to change the shirt or turn it inside out at Miami International Airport.

The two men, who were making a connecting flight, said nobody on their earlier flight objected to the shirt and claimed the airline violated their constitutional right to free speech.

"It's a picture of a man and woman, and the woman's breast is showing," said vice presidential hopeful Brad. "The flight attendant basically walked up to us and yelled, 'You have to take off that shirt right now, you son of a bitch!'"

American spokesman Tim Wagner said Sunday that crew members acted properly, and said the shirt was more graphic than Brad described. The airline gave them a refund, he said.

Wagner noted on American's Web site the policy clearly states that someone who is "clothed in a manner that would cause discomfort or offense to other passengers" can be removed from a flight.

"F*ck American Airlines!" said Ron upon returning to his native state of New Jersey after the ordeal. "Where do they dream up this sh*t? F*ck Bush and his cronies! They have the airlines by the balls after 9/11. This administration is stifling the American dream, for Christ's sake, and as the only person doing anything about it I get sh*t on. That's f*cking justice for you!"
