Okay, WTF?
I get the regular newsletter from T-Shirt Hell and although I would never wear any of their shirts, I admire their balls in making them. Their newsletter always contains some "fan mail", i.e. hate mail. The following comment was in the most recent newsletter, from an offended site visitor:
"Every one has a right to their own opinion, but not when it comes to selling
clothing."
Uh, what? Why would selling clothing mean you no longer have a right to your own opinion? I guess I just don't see the connection. The respondent was a Brit, so this line of reasoning might not apply, but I would still say that all of those idiots who sell flag t-shirts and the like are selling THEIR opinion - that patriotism is good. And those people are actually violating the flag display rules which include a prohibition against using an image of the flag on an article of clothing...all the T Shirt Hell people are doing is toeing the line of good taste.
Besides, t-shirts with flags and eagles and W's mug on them offend me MORE than most of the shirts at T Shirt Hell...but then, I can take a joke.
