Marley T shirt banned at six flags in Montreal - WTF????
http://www.metronews.ca/toronto/canada/article/606424--man-says-theme-park-censored-bob-marley-shirt--page0
<snip>
MONTREAL - A man plans to file a human-rights complaint against an amusement park after security guards told him to cover up his Bob Marley T-shirt or leave the premises.

But Montreal's La Ronde insists it didn't have a problem with the shirt's portrait of the late reggae legend — just the cluster of green, marijuana-shaped leaves that surround it.

Brunaud Moise alleges they targeted him because he's black.

He says security staff singled him out because they associated a black man wearing a Marley shirt with something criminal.

3. roolz is roolz
Shirts with "drug themes" are not allowed in many places:) I bet they would let someone like him into their gift shop so he could find a suitable one:) much cheaper than suing:)..or maybe they could give him a loaner:)

4. What's so hilarious about this is that Montreal is one of the most weed-friendly cities in NAmerica.
I've probably gotten more contact highs on Rue St. Catherine than anywhere else.
