Didn't we just have to deal with Urban Outfitters?

They're in trouble now. "Hot Lips" Wise is on their case.

No prob - get some West VA business to sponsor the production of their own t-shirts, captioned:
"Abercrombie: We molest little boys"

So A&F can sell thongs with flirty phrases on them to pre-teen girls and can issue a catalog chock full of nekkid teens and the governor won't speak up.
What does it take to make some elected officials fight the culture war?
This shirt is a joke and so is WV government it would seem.

The WV and NH shirts are nothing compared to the shirt on the right. THAT's the one I have a problem with.

I think it's funny (and I'm the product of a long line of cousin marriages). WV ought to respond with a new advertising campaign. "Something like When you're here, you're family." "Come join our family." All kinds of good possibilities.

I knew that there was a reason Howie Dean was so squirrely. he was just shoring up the base.

A Google search reveals that there is an actual "Cheeses of Nazareth" in a small town in Scotland. Apparently it's a popular deli there.
As I remember, there are a couple of Nazareths here in the US. Great name for a cheese shop or deli.
Of course, the perpetually ticked off will find such a thing blasphemous. It's actually a pretty funny play on worlds.

What's all the fuss about? It's obviously a reference to Einsteinian general relativity, which I'm sure most West Virginians spend a lot of time thinking about...

A&F had so much more class before Oshman's sold them.

Wise said the T-shirt depicts "an unfounded, negative stereotype of West Virginia." If it's unfounded, then why the fuss?

Anyway, my own fave WV joke is "West Virginia, where 'bisexual' means 'sheeps and goats'!" (Hot Lips Wise probably doesn't like that one either.)
To: MrB
Believe me, it's not unfounded. I just think they ought to have fun with this.
