anyone anywhere who buys into the corporate culture with its empty promises and its trendy tawdriness deserves what they get...when israel can commit something like 911 just to rub americas noses in the fact that have been made stupid as hell, then a little racism and backward thinking is in order, don't you think? its just the way of the world today, not only is stupid in, advertising it is in as well. so paying some pinhead big bux for the opportunity to advertise stupidity with his brand is just the icing on the cake.
Very Interesting when the Beer swilling Archie Bunker types who post here on a regular basis go Politically Correct. Hypocrites! Get over yourself and find a sense of humor..... Same idiots refer to Obama in private as a monkey....
His political affiliation is not the point. The guy is a crass and classless manipulator. You want to hurt him, don't buy the stuff he's selling. Why not mention Obama's manipulation of the Chevy Volt and his buddies Rev Wright, Bill "bomb thrower" Ayers and the host of other socialist revolutionaries that he surrounds himself with?
When the world hears "Irish" its whats on the UO clothes that come to mind. No insult when its true. Get over it.
What a gig this guy has going. So many ethnic stereotypes for him to use. As long as there's a market for his stuff, he's going to keep on laughing all the way to the bank. Since he's so imaginative and everyone else is fair game, why hasn't he produced an ethnic Santorum t-shirt????
In 2007, complaints by Jewish groups over the company sales of Arabic keffiyehs (which had been marketed as "antiwar" scarves) led Urban Outfitters to stop carrying that item. Urban Outfitters quickly issued a statement, "Due to the sensitive nature of this item, we will no longer offer it for sale. We apologize if we offended anyone, this was by no means our intention." So far, no such respect or apology offered to the Irish for portraying them as a race of drunkards.
