when is enough enough???
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/wal ... 80af70dcfd
International clothing retailer Primark has reportedly removed a “Walking Dead” T-shirt from its store after complaints it was “racist” and “offensive.”
The shirt features a baseball bat covered in barbed wire and the phrase “Eeny meeny miny moe,” which on-screen baddie Negan said as he picked out a victim on the Season 6 finale. On the show, the line is followed by “catch a tiger by his toe.”

This country is fucked because of the snowflakes. Glad I will be dead when it fails.

Dear bat man...

Re: when is enough enough???
Oh sweet jesus. The number of people that think it's a benign saying with no potential links to a racial past vastly outnumber those few sensitive snowflakes that have such arcane knowledge of the fact. Seriously people, get a life. People like that guy that reported it are offended by everything.
I find their sensitivity offensive.

EXACTLY. Are you a fucking child? Something/someone in another country is offended and the USA apologizes and removes said offending material.Skjellyfetti wrote:This is in Britaingrizzaholic wrote:This country is fucked because of the snowflakes. Glad I will be dead when it fails.

Yeah, because things like that NEVER happen over on this side of the pond...right?Grizalltheway wrote:Nope. This all happened in Britain. All of it.grizzaholic wrote:

Re: when is enough enough???
According to the article, the complainant saw the shirt in a Primark store in Sheffield, England. Primark is a Dublin based company that apparently has 7 stores in the US. But again, the article says nothing about anyone in America complaining about the shirt.grizzaholic wrote:So they are selling these tshirts in america?Grizalltheway wrote:

Yeah but it would happen here. Honestly, i'm not surprised Hanes and Fruit of the Loom aren't being boycotted until they cease production of white shirts.Grizalltheway wrote:Didn't say that, but Grizza is getting in a huff (get it?) over our country being fucked because of a specific thing that didn't happen here.Baldy wrote: Yeah, because things like that NEVER happen over on this side of the pond...right?

Re: when is enough enough???
It's definitely snow flaky to get agitated about a t-shirt getting pulled from the shelves that you had no interest in wearing anyway.
I don't think it's racist... but, it's fucking hideous.
Who gives a shit?

Re: when is enough enough???
Well I'm not sure he's a reliable source and he makes predominantly fake posts so don't trust it. I am unaware of his claims as I hadn't seen it. It applies to the right more than left anymore which is fucking shocking to me. I didn't know my party would be so full of fucking crybabies but it happened. Oh well, pass out the pacifiers I guess.Grizalltheway wrote:Sure does but 89 already clarified that that only applies to the left.Ursus A. Horribilis wrote: That seems sort of snow flaky.

Re: when is enough enough???
It should be troubling that crying racist can cause big companies to immediately cower in fear.
And yeah, I know someone will mention people getting mad over Starbucks' holiday cups or people getting mad at the NFL over Colin Kaepernick, but neither of those organizations buckle one bit when people start complaining.
