Conflict of Interest Nice Tiger, Pretty Tiger

The new Stranger t-shirts are beautiful…
…but, man, our timing is terrible.
In other tiger news, it looks like the two surviving victims of the SF tiger attack, and those near and dear to the deceased victim, will soon be enjoying large cash settlements courtesy of SF taxpayers. The zoo now “admits” that the wall of the moat the surrounded the tiger enclosure was shorter than they thought, and not up to national wall-of-moat-surrounding-tiger-enclosure standards. From SF Gate:
Zoo officials have gone back and forth on the grotto’s measurements since a 350-pound tiger escaped on Christmas Day, killing 17-year-old Carlos Sousa Jr. and seriously injuring two of his friends….Earlier this week, zoo officials said the moat’s wall was at least 20 feet tall. Today, they said it was little over 12 feet. Since the investigation began Tuesday, officials have given at least five different measurements for the enclosure, which is surrounded by a moat, two walls on either side of the moat, a small patch of grass and then another waist-high fence. Experts say that the depth of the moat and height of the walls could have a large impact on the animal’s ability to escape the enclosure.
According to this Wiki page, in the wild tigers can jump as high as 16 feet. This story puts Woodland Park Zoo’s problem with elephant herpes into perspective, huh?
So wait... some idiot provokes a tiger into killing them and they get to sue?
How much are tickets to the Woodland zoo? Never mind, I'll get reimbursed later.
Nice body on whoever is wearing the T-Shirt in the photo.
The idiots pay for their idiocy by being killed or mauled. The zoo pays for their apparently sloppy attention to safety by being mauled in court. Everyone reaps what they sow.
Probably Dan.
He never could shave competently.
I saw that exact design on the side of a 70's custom van. Awesome.
It should have been a cougar. Isn't that the Mercury design?
It shoulda been a pit bull. Or a fixie.
I just want to know how that tiger managed to get over the wall and have escape notice long enough to maul Benazir Bhutto.
Those animals are animals.
Yoo-hooo!!! Come and get me!!!

you don't get a large cash settlement when your ass trespassed & taunted the tiger into attacking you.
they should get a nice fat jail sentence after the wounds close.
um, yah... good luck with that jail sentence, the guy's dead.
The zoo didn't do a good enough job of protecting assholes from themselves. In the U.S., that entitles those assholes to big cash settlements.
Is that Dan?
I think Dan could kick my ass.
@13, if that is Dan, damn, I am looking at him in a whole new way.
That's a great shirt, and your timing is perfect! (Kinda reminds me of the Hungry Tiger shirts).
Also, looks like Mr. T-shirt model did a couple a push ups to get the ol' veins pumping before the shoot. ha ha ha ha!
That's Dan. It has to be. 100% hairless, obnoxious adams apple, yupperz. It's him.
I want to see him dance naked with that Bear from the Orange-Acid drink commercial.
you know that dorky fat kid in high school that wore animal t-shirts? that's what this looks like.
I wonder what his nipples look like.
@19
Rock hard and repugnantly purple.
Looks suspiciously like the tiger emblem that the Portland Mercury has had for a while . . .
oops! No one was supposed to tell . . .
I wonder if they just put a "The Stranger" sticker on the shirts to cover up where it had "The Mercury"?
I have a Portland Mercury shirt, but I really would like to have this one. How can I get one?
I want that t-shirt. And those idiots were mauled just in time to receive a Darwin award.
echoing #22 amd #23. I want the shirt, too. Please provide a convenient link to purchase, please...
(Since I spent nothing during this holiday season other than groceries, booze, and $200 in iTunes certificates for my nieces, I want to spend for myself without braving the post-Xmas crowds of bargain-hung(t)ers.)
DAN! Do you read these comments? If so, could you please add an awesome picture of yourself and some biographical information to the author page of you on librarything.com??? And bewarned bibliophiles, librarything.com is like heaven!!! They aren't paying me. I'm just a nerd and I love my books!
OK, this post has been up for over 16 hours now and I'm still trying to figure out WTF elephant herpes has to do with T-shirts or tigers.
Speaking of tiger timing: Both Simpsons reruns yesterday on Q13 had tigers in them, including one that chomped on Bart's arm and robbed him of his newly acquired ability to drum.
Spider tiger, spider tiger
Does whatever a spider tiger does
Can it jump, from a moat?
Yes it can, it's a tiger...
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye (or leathery nipple)
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
oh man! and I was annoyed with my cat for spitting up a hairball and strewing kitty litter all over the place. I will never say "Bad Kitty" to my cat ever again....now I know what bad kitty REALLY means. I mean at least my cat doesn't kill me.......
thats it! I will never read Calvin and Hobbes or eat Frosted Flakes ever again. Every time I look at tony the tiger I lose my appetite. I am scared of pussy now
