petition against offensive world cup tshirts

[Cocolepew]

hope it's ok to link to it

Yime

If you point me to your petition against that T-shirt which is referenced almost as often as the Diet Coke ad I will sign that too.

I was interested in seeing what their idea of T-shirts for women were like.

Can't say I'm surprised but yes, depressing

That's weird, NONE of those have near naked men on them.

They are either boring or have sexual innuendo's on them

Funnily enough, I just emailed them yesterday!
This was their response
Dear Hairylegs47,

Thank you for your recent correspondence pertaining to our stock.

Our male and female product designers create certain t-shirt ranges that are fun to wear and their intention would never be to cause upset or offend our customers.
Please accept our apology for any upset these garments may have caused you.
Yours sincerely,

Yeah, they are really sorry

They remind me of those peanuts on a board in the 70's. Didn't think pictures like this had a place in the 21 century on tee shirts any way.

Signed

How's this 'fun to wear'?

Btw, that's a David and Goliath t shirt.

These are feminist t shirts:

Damn you,( not-so)-feminist David and Goliath

Excellent!

Signed.

Signed!

Yime: those are not feminist T shirts: they are offensive T shirts. Start a petition - I'll sign it. In fact, why haven't you? Petitions do get things dumped. Or is that you just prefer to slag off women who take action against things they find offensive, while not being prepared to lift a finger yourself against things you think are offensive?

boys are stupid throw rocks at them... that's a feminist tshirt?

Let's pretend it is. I had nothing to do with the making of that tshirt so I really don't think I can be held responsible for it and the fact that some where out there is another tshirt that is annoying does not mean I can not complain about this tshirt.

for fucks sake,

I don't think the feminist T shirts had guys hanging out of posing pouches saying 'wanna play with my balls?' All nudge nudge wink wink.

Re the diet coke ads, I couldn't stand them, made my blood boil.

These tee shirts from Blue are just skanky. I'm surprised no one at Blue thought they'd .... No wait a minute, it all publicity isn't it.
Sad, sad sad.

I've signed.

There's a letter too letter - apologies if already linked - I have very tired toddler hanging off me

Child Eyes are tweeting them too and done a great pic to get point home

yime to repeat the point - those are emphatically not feminist t shirts. Feminism is not defined by hating men, encouraging violence and downing pints. Start a petition about those t shirts and as mum of two DS I would sign.

Signed. 978 now...

Signed.

Objecting to one set of T-shirts that are inappropriate/rude/vile/sexist makes it easier/more effective to object to others that are the same surely, yime - or is your definition of equality that all races/genders/minority groups of humans have to have exactly equal levels of discriminatory crap thrown at them before anyone steps in to improve anything?

I can't sign, every link I can find for it sends me to a page unavailable page

It's doing the same for me. It worked earlier.
