Have you gotten your Abercrombie T-shirt yet?

Gov. Bob Wise sent a letter to Abercrombie & Fitch on Monday demanding that the clothing retailer stop selling a T-shirt that spoofs the state with the slogan, "It's All Relative in West Virginia."

Wise said the T-shirt depicts "an unfounded, negative stereotype of West Virginia."

"I write to you today to demand that you immediately remove this item from your stores and your print and online catalogues," Wise wrote. "In addition, these shirts must be destroyed at once to avoid any possibility of resale and proof be given thereof." Link

How does this company stay in business in the U.S.?

There's a thread on Gov. Hot Lips Wise's thinskinned reaction to the silly A&F T-shirt. Considering he and his Ruling Party have given the state a $120 million budget deficit, you'd think he'd have other things to worry about.
