\"PUNKED!\"We only heard about this crew five minutes before we posted this article, but Exit Deutschland<\/a> has become our favorite anti-fascist crew out there today! They pulled a stunt for the ages that made the boneheads of Germany look pretty damned stupid. The ninth annual “Rock fuer Deutschland” which is sponsored by the country’s Nazi crew NPD was held recently and the folks from Exit went there posing as fellow Nazis bearing gifts. They had a little T-shirt giveaway that attendees just ate up, and everyone was happy…until the other shoe dropped. You can probably guess what might have happened from the picture, but this is something you sooooo want to read!<\/p>\n

Music fans who took souvenir T-shirts from a rock festival in Gera, eastern Germany, have discovered they hold a secret message.<\/p>\n

The so-called Trojan T-shirts bore a design of a skull and right-wing flags and the words “hardcore rebels”.<\/p>\n

But, once washed, the design dissolves to reveal a message telling people to break with extremism.<\/p>\n

Some 250 T-shirts were donated to organisers, who handed them out at the nationalist rock festival in Gera.<\/p>\n

The stunt was organised by a left-wing group called Exit, which seeks to reduce the influence of the right-wing in Germany.<\/p>\n

“What your T-shirt can do, so can you – we’ll help you break with right-wing extremism,” the message reads, and provides a contact number for the group.<\/p>\n

On its website, Exit said it had made contact with the organisers of the Rock For Germany festival, in its ninth year, using a false name and had offered the T-shirts for free.<\/p>\n

The group’s founder, Bernd Wagner, said the group hoped its actions would raise awareness among young festival-goers.<\/p>\n

“With these T-shirts, we aimed to make ourselves known among right-wingers, especially among young ones who are not yet fully committed to the extreme right,” he said, according to the Agence France-Presse news agency.<\/p>\n

The Rock For Germany festival had as its slogan “Never again communism – Freedom for Germany”.<\/p>\n

There was no official reaction from the festival’s organisers but a text message was circulating among young people who attended warning them that the T-shirts were fake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
