to be really proud to be an mnetter today?

[MadameDefarge]

have seen i print and heard on radio the hoohah re amazon selling those disgusting t shirts. good on mnetters. they might noy have attributed the outrage to here...but who cares? it so worked! brava!

just me then. as you were.

I'm proud too Madame

(gathers bubble and kim to over ample bosom) yeah!

(releases faintly blue looking gals) ahem.

Oh yes, I saw that and thought 'Hurray for MN!'

I think the site is an invaluable public resource in general - the Relationships board alone is a standout. If I ever need to leave DH and take the kids (although we're currently very happy thank you) I know exactly what I would need to do!

Also, Chat makes me smile

I heard it yesterday and I wad very proud of Mumsnet and it's clout.

You lot are awesomes

What t shirts? Hi Herrera!

I was googling the news about the tshirts and found a blog where the blogger is claiming to be the instigator of the tshirt thing that it was his blog that sparked the whole thing off.

Um, it wasn't just MN. In fact I saw the complaints about it in loads of places before MN....

If that's true lurked it doesn't make MN efforts mean any less. One person must have started it all off, but they couldn't have got the end result without the help of others

Agree with lurked.
I saw this first on twitter.
Not saying that my isn't fab though :)

I'm proud too.

I was proud anyway!

Am also proud of mn :) glad he wasn't taking mn credit as was feeling quite indignant in thinking he had :)

I've just seen the story and had a cheer to myself.

Tshirts with horrible (albeit randomly computer-generated) slogans like 'Keep calm and rape a lot', herrenaharridan. A MNetter spotted it and incited the rest of us to raise hell with the company concerned. They are now off the virtual shelves, hurrah! :)

I saw it in The Observer yesterday. The article didn't mention MN by name, but I knew. I was following the MN thread on Friday.

Yay ! Great campaign and not a bad apology. Good result !

Agree mumsnet is awesome in many ways, especially in support offered in some key areas ..... first weeks with new baby, breastfeeding, relationships - especially where there's EA, brave babe's bus, TTC, miscarriage and peri-natal loss, loss of a child, stately homes (YKWIM), abuse and rape survivor support,
at a loose end and fancy a chat .... etc. etc (think that covers most of the biggies)

A very friendly, almost cuddly at times, nest of vipers - never slow to offer a or a .... or even an un-Mumsnetty hug

Advice, campaigns, protests, & wooley hugs all looking pretty strong too !

Ooh I didn't know it was MN, haven't been on in a while. I saw it on the 'no more page 3' Facebook page.

What sort of person would even think of designing t-shirts like that?

Apparently it was "randomly generated" with loads of others ... but didn't they think that process might cause trouble ? or think to check the results ?

I saw it lots off MN before seeing it here. However I was baffled why it made the news and the company were making ridiculous excuses up apologising, as there are so so many similar products that don't get any coverage. So maybe that's why, as I've seen the power of MN in getting things in the press before.

this shit is still being sold

We may have won the battle, but we have not yet won the war! Keep soldiering on keyboard warriors of Mumsnet!
