Spencer sells a lot of "T" shirts and other items that are very offensive -- many of which would make a barkeep blush !! I was in one and they have the most filthy greeting cards. The store seemed to attract the very young people. Very disgusting !!

@carriagehorse: agree fully with you. Remember St Patrick is buried in a Church of Ireland Cemetery ( Anglican ) in Downpatrick, Co Down. Northern Ireland. Have a happy St Patrick's day

I agree with Basler up to a point. I do agree that the merchandise is demeaning to people of Irish heritage-- and the sexually explicit stuff is just plain insulting to any woman. But as to St. Patrick's Day being a "Catholic" holiday-- if by that she means only ROMAN Catholic, I disagree. I'm Episcopalian, and St. Patrick's Day is a Feast Day in our Church and in the Anglican Communion, the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Lutheran Church as well. St. Patrick is remembered as a Christian missionary to the pagan Irish.

why doesn't everyone offended like I am, just boycott the store in the future. Not just St Pats day, but all year, like I do. You can find the things you need in a store that doesn't sell this crap.
