The biggest story in Dutch news, now as t-shirt

T-shirt with Joran

Yes, now you can walk around with a picture of Joran van der Sloot, the main suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Hey, if you use a dated pop culture reference it’s not tasteless, it’s irony!

Palau butts in:: Doesn’t it also work as a public act of collective justice? A way of naming and shaming someone who’s evaded justice, while making money and being droll to boot. This seems to me to be an entirely Dutch way of doing things.
