Damned Fine T Shirt
T-shirts of the tongue lashing given to the captain of doomed cruise ship Costa Concordia by an angry coastguard has been turned into T-shirts in Italy.
The 12 GBP-a-time shirts - bearing the phrase 'Vada a Bordo, Cazzo' - went on sale within minutes of the recording of the coastguard's row with captain Francesco Schettino was made public.
Widely read as '"Get on board, damn it", Italian translators say the phrase is really far more forceful than that.
"In one way it can mean 'F***ing get on board' and in another way it means 'Get on board, you p***k'," explained one.
