Real news. With snark, invective, and lots of links. Guaranteed behaving badly.

You mean that wasn’t a Cowboy Woody shirt?

The yellow star with its rounded points was clearly intended to represent a sheriff’s badge, but what kind of sheriff would have worn that namby-pamby stripy shirt?
Amazing that nobody realized what the end product looked like. It was obviously unintentional. Who would think that this would be appropriate, or that anyone would buy it?

i thought so too, at first–but, then i realized this was the designer who’d made that handbag with the little green swastikas in the fabric design…i wish i could show you the purse–you’d have to question can they be this insensitive again, after that shitstorm?
however, i agree it damn looks like the classic western sheriff’s “tin star”–but, to pair it with the “striped pajama shirt”…?…
i dunno…i’m not comfortable calling it an accident…or an oversight…
