"I fucked Gisele" t-shirt designer prevails in Xeni's "I fucked John Ashcroft" challenge

A few weeks ago on BoingBoing, I challenged Ken Courtney — designer of the controversial “I fucked [celebrity name here] shirts — to a dare. OK, the “I fucked Chloe Sevigny,” “Kurt Cobain”, and “Christian Dior” (dead for how many years?) shirts are cool, in a snarky, Brooklyn, post-starfuckerly kind of way. And Gisele reportedly sued you over the “I fucked Gisele” shirts. Instant anti-couture cred.

But if you really had cojones, I dared Mr. Courtney, you’d whip some up that said, “I FUCKED JOHN ASHCROFT.”
Game over. According to the e-mail I received from him this morning, Mr. Ken Courtney tiene cojones.

“fyi Xeni, fashion challenge met. the owner of RAGS A GO GO on 14th street is the proud new owner of an I FUCKED JOHN ASHCROFT tee. [PS:] I’M ONLY DOING THIS TO GET INVITED TO BETTER PARTIES.”
