"Keep Calm and Rape a Lot" is one of hundreds of t-shirts based on the much-used "Keep Calm and Carry On" World War II propaganda poster that a Massachusetts-based company offered for sale on Amazon until today.

The shirts were primarily sold on Amazon UK, which has now removed insensitive versions of the garment.
