What do you think of the WAL-MART shirts - BOYS ARE STUPID:THROW ROCKS AT THEM, - BOYS ARE PIGS.  

One of the responses I got from this post was:

"I am sorry but these shirts make me laugh. Actually my 12 year old son and I saw one and started cracking up. I heard when Dr. Laura had started talking about how bad these products are but I really think we are taking ourselves a little to seriously sometimes. I really like the ones with the cartoon rabbits that say funny things like "Shut up I don't care" and stupid things like that. I have one in my office that says boys are smelly."

Dear Mr. Pelletier,

Re: Misandric hate clothing and other products sold by Walmart containing such slogans as:
"BOYS ARE FROM THE STUPID FACTORY".
"BOYS ARE STUPID; THROW ROCKS AT THEM", "BOYS ARE PIGS"
designed and/or manufactured by David and Goliath of Clearwater Florida.

You can view some of these products on the Walmart Online ordering at your website at:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=2616335&cat=64038&
type=3&dept=3920&path=0:3920:58437:64038

You can read more about these slogans on our website under "Child Hate Crimes" at

I was very disappointed this morning to find out that Walmart in the U.S.A. was selling these hate products.

A human rights complaint has been filed against another national retailer in Canada, Bluenotes, a division of American Eagle Outfitters.

I asked you to confirm that Walmart is selling these products in Canada.

In any event, they are selling them in the U.S.A.

It is our position that since Walmart Canada is a wholly owned subsidiary of Walmart of the U.S.A., it should be boycotted whether or not these specific items are sold in your Canadian stores.

You stated in our conversation this afternoon that you will look into the matter.

the shirts are tasteless but having a national campaign over them might cross the freedom of speech bounderies.  Ask any 8 year old boy what he thinks of girls and you will likely get the same type of responses:  "Girls are Stupid"  "Girls are Dumb".  

Older girls and teens that wear them are poking fun and obviously trying to get the male population to draw attention to her so they would wear them to attract males and to be a little flirty.  Kinda like wearing "Princess" on their rear ends in sweats.

Do I think it hurts boys in the long run?  Nope.  Should be banned from schools?  Yup, for being inappropriate.

Here we go again. It contributes to the deliquency of minors. Fresh out of kindergarten and taught prejudice.

They just lost my business. I refuse to shop where they condemn for profit.

Letters, here they come! Glenn might be interested in this. I think Walmart was in on the last episode from this sh!twhole place.

Their suggestive products should be removed from ALL stores...
