That's just shocking! I can't email the company due to the fact that I'm on an office computer and it won't let me do certain things (darn) but I can spread the word. There was a privately owned car company that had a one day promotion and the advertising was directly aimed at violence against women.. ON DOMESTIC ABUSE AWARENESS DAY!!! Umm, What!!! Fortunately, there was enough complaints that the news got involved and well, let's say they didn't get much business and haven't since. Maybe this will do the same.
I wonder why bj pulled your thread mimitabby. I hope people are aware of this as to promote against the ignorance!

Bikejournal maintains standards and does not allow links to objectionable material. I imagine that this was the reason it was removed, even though your stated cause was pro-cycling.
I'm curious if this is Sean's reasoning.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

it's because there was a reference to manure in my post. I have been censored there for using the word hell as in a destination, not a curse.
letter from the admin:
Dear mimitabby,
I had to delete your thread pointing to the t-shirt site, as it contains profanity in at least its images. This is against the family friendly forum rules.
I find the t-shirt as distasteful as you do, but we don't really want the kids that hang out in BJ seeing that, do we?
If you have any issues with my deleting of the thread, please reply to this email. The reply will go to slantz instead of me and he can make a final call.
Thanks for your understandingLast edited by mimitabby; 05-24-2007 at 12:50 PM.

I emailed a complaint also. Hope it helps. There's no place in the world for that kind of garbage if you ask me.

I think it is interesting that anyone can provide product through CafePress but it isn't readily apparent who benefits.
I suspect a lot of the products that supposedly support a charitable cause don't actually produce any funds for that charitable cause.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.
