  This is a photo of a genuine shirt from the about 1977.

  It was extraordinarily offensive.

  So it is MAGA because it is indecent.

  I am still waiting for anyone to come close to figuring out the target of its critique.

  I will give a hint: if someone else had actually been there they might say it critiques MAGA. I’m saying it’s like MAGA more because it is an offensive violation of cultural norms.

  None of the guesses as to why the finger stinks are correct in the threads. They also have no idea what he found.

  You’ll forgive me for a moment of reveling in pleasure at all the wrong answers. It’s like watching anthropologists feel around in the darkness and bring their own cultural perspectives to a riddle they simply can’t grasp yet.

      Okay — I’ll go — but honesty I thought someone would appreciate the puzzle.

      In the late seventies there was a religious movement of the “Born Again” Christians. Huge billboards proclaimed: I FOUND IT.

      It meant the love of Christ.

      This fellow’s shirt mocks that by explaining he had found the then difficult for some people to find clitoris — so, he turned something religious into something about finger banging.

      Nothing to do with buttholes.

    It’s also very heavy handed satire. Around 1975-76, Christian college kids wore yellow buttons that said “I FOUND IT.” The idea was that people would ask what they found, and that would be an opening for them to preach.

      That’s it. Pairing it with finger banging was this fellows attempt at being sacrilegious.

    I mean if nobody gets it I would argue you missed the mark, but I’ll let you have your moment :P
