HOQUIAM — A community festival near the Washington state coast is attracting attention with a T-shirt mocking Osama bin Laden.

The Loggers Playday festival shirts — featuring a cartoon of the terror mastermind tied to a log with the caption "Osama Bin Loggin'" — are being sold for $15 to raise money for a scholarship.

Organizers say they got the idea because their Sept. 10 event is so close to the tenth anniversary of 9/11 and because bin Laden was killed by U.S. military forces in May.

The T-shirt maker, Christian Burgess of Jacknut Apparel, told The Daily World ( http://bit.ly/o9z0ju) critics have called the T-shirt tacky and in very poor taste.

One area resident, Jeanne Ward, printed several T-shirts that say, "My Hoquiam is a Hate Free Zone."

What do you expect from a bunch of left wing loons? They're the same people who'd lament on the death of Hitler.

    The LOON is a good bird. Almost as much fun as a "goose".

        It is pretty obvious to anyone without a bong stuck to their lips that Rikki was speaking of the people who are PROTESTING the Bin Laden shirt, not the people who created it. Someone as dull as yourself really shouldn't be handicapping yourself further by smoking marijuana.

        obviously from the comment about HITLER to anyone with a functioning brain, he was not speaking of people complaining about the shirt but the people printing it..

        someone as dull as yourself really doesn't have an excuse for your dullness..

        smoke a joint and maybe you will liven up a little and catch a clue on reality.

        the shirts by the those that might be leftys

        hardy what you could call a loon, or lefty or anything a narrowminded straight laced goody two shoes can think of to be offend someone
