Group Decries Urban Outfitters T-Shirt

Quote:
PHILADELPHIA - The Anti-Defamation League has asked retailer Urban Outfitters to stop selling a T-shirt that reads: "New Mexico, Cleaner than Regular Mexico."

Quote:
Two years ago, it stopped selling a game called "Ghettopoly" after protests by black civil rights leaders. Last year, it halted sales of a T-shirt that read "Everyone Loves A Jewish Girl," surrounded by dollar signs, after the Anti-Defamation League objected.




This is really getting ridiculous. I am sick to death of people complaining about every little thing. It's a friggin joke, just like with the Ghettopoly game and Jewish Girl shirts. A friggin joke. But no, someone, for whatever reason has to be a political correctness *****, and throw a fit over it. It just drives me mad that these people take offense to EVERYTHING.

The New Mexico shirt is a joke, and, partially true.

Ghettopoly was a joke, but again, based on things that are partially true.

The Jewish Girl shirt is a joke, but, yet again, is partially true. And, this shirt should be the one complained about least of all, because the only people wearing it are JEWISH GIRLS. If they're not offended, WHY IS ANYONE ELSE?! :mad:



Anyway, my venting is over.

It's sad that ther are people whose purpose in life is to find stuff and complain about it on behalf of others. I mean, does anyone but these groups even give a ****?

Does their whining actually do anything?

That's the problem. If they never accomplished anything, they would give up. But there are always some idiots that go along with it.

Their whining can do a lot of the ACLU happens to get behind them. Remember, the ACLU - the so called 'American Civil Liberties Union' - are the people who want 'christmas' off of calanders, but every other holiday on; they are the people who don't want the boyscouts to be able to rent public land - IE, a park in a big city - because they are a 'religious organization'; they are the people who defended the right of NAMBLA to post instructions on how to rape and kill young boys on their website; They are the people who think advocating border security is synonymous with racism.
Just recently, they decided the boyscouts weren't allowed to meet at Quantico. Thankfully, this state is about as conservative as is possible, and we kicked their liberal asses.

'Political correctness' is a plague on our society. Watch some Carlos Mencia. People like him are the cure.

Perhaps I should direct you to the ACLU website for a more accurate view of the issues they fight for.


To the OP, I agree. I think it's silly to oppose things like that. There is such a thing as freedom of speech.

Anytime the ACLU makes headlines, I want to puke.

So you mean it's time to buy the shirt before they don't sell it anymore?
It took a while for you to find me; I was hiding in the lime tree.

So people are no longer able to speak freely, as far as NAMBLA goes? I mean it IS their right to do it--there's such a thing as freedom of speech. The rest are bull, but the ACLU does many a good thing, like defending against the Patriot Act, defending against unjust government actions, against the expansion of government. While thy may seem like 'liberal scum' you must realize that they're actually quite conservative--quite the opposite of yourself.

Yes, quite the opposite of me. I never knew income redistribution was a CONSERVATIVE ISSUE!

You're missing the point, they never did any of the things he said anyway. He seems to think the ACLU is an advocate of political correctness, whereas they are actually an advocate of freedom and protecting citizen's constitutional rights.

True.

JM--Where did they want wealth redistributed? Could you cite us some examples from the website? Or are you just going to keep pulling bull**** from your ***?

It got Ghettopoly and the Jewish Girl shirts pulled, so, unfortunately, yes.

Haha, everybody around here got really angsty when that "It's all relative in West Virginia" shirt came out (Note: I live in West Virginia). It was hilarious.

I've been to Mexico and New Mexico, and all I can say is that that shirt is stating a fact.
