Crime

hi,there. please help me with this.

here is some T-shirts with slogan on it.

http://www.shopwiki.com/Bite+Out+Of+Crime+T-shirt

I can understand these:

"Local Celebrity Bite out of Crime "

"Take a bite out of crime"

"Bite Out Of Crime "

The National Crime Prevention Council's slogan.

I think they all means "encourage people to fight crime or stay away from it or try to avoid it before it happens".

but the second one :

" I took a bite out of crime and kinda wanted seconds. " there is no McGruff on it.

does this slogan has the same meaing with "Take a bite out of crime".

or It was coined by other people,and give it a different meaning? if it did ,then what is it?

thank you!

It's just a variation on the same theme. "I took a bite out of crime" shows that the person wearing it is supporting the crime prevention cause. The next part, "and kinda wanted seconds", is supposed to be humorous.
