Do you consider this freedom of speech?
To: ShadowDancer
What about "colored?"
I thought that went out in the 60s?

I heard it used so often, it's hard to get offended. My mom calls them jersey shirts and hates them.

Kids have been calling these wife-beaters for years and years. Here we go again.

If you're asking me if he would have been perfectly within his rights to allow the ad to run like that the answer is yes. Just as the group who complained about the ad were well within their rights to do so. They voiced a complaint and he agreed and retracted. I don't see a Freedom of Speech issue here.

I used to hear them as "spaghetti shirts". I guess that's offensive now, too.

Everybody calls them wife beaters. So what?
They're not like a 'magical Dungeons & Dragons garment' that forces you to beat your wife when you put one on....

I'm 53 and know the term because that's what my kids call them. I suppose the female version are called "husband beaters".

They have been called wife beaters for years because the typical Hollywood wife beater has the tank top undershirt with the stain and the big gut. I call them that and so does everyone I know and we're all in our thirties.
I generally just call them beaters because its just short for wife beaters. Heck my wife and her friends call them wife beaters too, college educated thirty-something professional women.

That's what they're called, aren't they?
If they don't like that, they're really not going to like some of the other names...

No kidding? I'm almost 50 and have never heard them called that. Must be a generational thing. I'm 55 and my son has used the "wifebeater" term for that shirt for a number of years.

This is revealing of the Massachusetts LibIdiot mentality.
People of the Left don't just hate President Bush, and sit around smiling all day. Can you imagine the type of family life they have?
Be afraid, be very afraid.
