Urban Outfitter's JFK Playboy merchandise slammed by Kennedy museum

JFK would have posed for it, in person. Jack was a dog.

disrespectfull crap.hope they go bust.

Irish Central always gives publicity to urban outfitters, good for sales, I'm sure.

IrelandNorth, Are you shocked by that motif? There is a problem with alcoholism and alcohol abuse.

PS [T-Shirt Print!]

A British outlet here in Dublin on the first floor at escalators in Saint Stephen's Green Shopping Centre () has a motif for sale: "So Irish my liver hurts!" inferring that being Irish is synonymous with alcoholism. On expressing surprise to young Scottish female manager there, she informed me that most customers are Irish-Americans, and if it sells they'll continue printing it. "Even if it's patently racist?" said I. "Pretty much so" said she. Seems economics trumps ethics every time. Complaints in person or e-mail as appropriate!

Urban Outfitters is known for its disrespectful treatment of people and issues as well as rather shoddy merchandise touted as high fashion to justify high prices and markets to less savvy teens and twenties. Regardless of one's opinion of JFK, this is just another instance of UO making it from whole cloth (pun intended).

Not all of us in the USA are admirers of the Kennedy Clan. I, for one, think they were terrible people with very low moral standards. I think this shirt portrays JFK to a tee, as far as women go...although I don't know about the leather jacket and gun. Frankly, I am glad that most of this awful breed have disappeared into the sunset.

Susan724 J F, and we all know what the F stands for, Kennedy, tried his damnedness to start a war with the Russians during the Cuban missile crisis. He laid down the game plan for the war in Vietnam; Lyndon Johnson carried the can but was just carrying out Kennedy's policy. And, in case you really don't know, Kennedy and Clinton aren't Irish. A better picture for the T-Shirts would be one of Kennedy humping a map of the United States. That would be accurate for both him and his family.

pickanose - uh, I mean pickateer- you sound like a jealous woman. Wow, Kennedy had looks, money, brains, and left office the most popular President in the history of America (Clinton was the second most popular). That is a FACT- and Kennedy and Clinton - two very sexy Irishmen. And you, pickanose? Oh, well, you have "W"- Doesn't that stand for "worst"?

BullDogManiac - If you feel this way, then you must want a t-shirt for George W. Bush with AWOL written across the front of his chest along with LIAR right below it for lying about the weapons of mass and then KILLER across his forehead for the deaths caused for US soldiers in both Afghanistan and Iraq over a LIE (WELL OVER 100,000 deaths) not to mention the million people who died in these countries who were innocent civilians. Oh and don't forget the 320,000 brain injured vets and the 18 suicides per day! I'll take the lover over the KILLER any day - LOVE doesn't kill! George W.Bush KILLED!

It only adds to the legend that is JFK.

Edmundburk, what planet are you living on?

@ borefield, are you for real? "the Irish are always fair game for discrimination"??? Only in your delusional, confined-to-your-basement-den world is there institutionalized discrimination against the Irish in America. Millions of African-Americans dream of experiencing the kind of "discrimination" Irish Americans "suffer" here. As for the T shirt, LOL! Stupid for the Kennedy Museum CEO to comment; only draws attention to the matter. But I guess the Kennedy propaganda has to be so pervasive that no cheap retailer dare put any Kennedy bashing product on the market whatsoever. Life sure is good if you're a Kennedy.

First way to address urban outfitters---Don't buy their trash apparel . Second, the Irish are always fair game for this kind of discrimination, if this was about Rev. Martin Luther King the stores would be out of business by now. Rev. Al, Jessie Jackson, Barack would certainly see to it. They should be boycotted big time.
