All-time best t-shirt worn by a subway rider

A while ago I saw a rather enormous fellow on the F train wearing a t-shirt bearing the message: Rights for Imprisoned People with Psychiatric Disabilities. It made me aware of the plight of the many thousands of people in our criminal justice system who suffer from mental illness and do not receive proper care. But, more importantly, it proved to be very effective at getting him a seat on a crowded train. This is the all-time best photo of a t-shirtless fellow riding the subway train. Even though he apparently doesn't even own a t-shirt, I'd still give him a seat - right next to me. Grrrrr! (Thanks to FDNY Calendar of Heroes hunk Stephen Spagnola for his amazing bod. Uh, I mean, use of his photo.)
