"I have a great dislike for organized religion."
So says Bjorn Atldax, designer of "Cheap Monday" jeans, who claims his product is an "active statement against Christianity." Ah, yes, and a brilliant argument he makes with his inexpensive jeans - very ummm..."active" statement.
Nothing rubs me the wrong way like a cheap pair of jeans except that cute toy statement about organized religion. Ah yes, disorganized religion is a beautiful thing, isn't it? People like this usually, I think, are just throwing up a strawman (because let's face it, the world these days - even amongst many christians - have been brainwashed to be distrustful of "organized" Christian denominations) and so it is a socially easy target. But when you get past the fashion philosophy you find that they usually have disdain for the Christian faith - however skewed (or not) that they understand it.
I actually had to look hard to find the anti-Christian message (note the upside down cross on the skull), because once you've been Orthodox for awhile you get rather used to seeing skulls - protrayed in icons, or as real relics, or simply stacked neatly in monasteries.
Come on Bjorn, you are going to have to do better than a skull on a pair of jeans! We Orthodox are supposed to LIKE being reminded of death.

As for the pants...shrug.
Chance
Speaks rather well to the pants I should think.
But, I digress...the jeans are significant in that they gain news and are just another sign of the target painted on the Christian faith - likely the only religion that is both PC and safe to insult.
Though I hear South Park might have gone too far. Having read about the episode, I almost wish we could issue death fatwahs too.
