Yes, we can get this amazingly offensive item pulled from the Bon's shelves. Read on to see how....


First, the manufacturer, "David and Goliath" doesn't give a damn, and told me so pretty candidly.

They don't care that this shirt essentially tells people to commit violence against boys, and they told me they would "never" makea shirt that says to "throw rocks" at girls. What a shock, eh?

Now, these people are really starting to piss me off. I think it's a very offensive product, and to be told that they "don't care" is really the limit. So, I think it's time to go up the food chain to where people will listen- the corporate offices of the Bon. And that's what I did.

To their credit, the Bon was pretty responsive. You can call, write, or email the Bon to get the item PULLED OFF THE SHELF and returned UNSOLD to the manufacturer. And I think that's exactly what we should do. Since the manufacturer "David and Goliath" doesn't seem to give a damn, here's the contact info for the Bon. The lady I spoke with was very sympathetic and said that if people complained, the item would be pulled.

Phone: 206-506-6000

Address:

The Bon
1601 3rd Ave
Seattle WA 98181

Attn: Divisional Customer Office


Email: [email protected]

The very nice lady I spoke with said that every time someone calls, writes, or sends an email, they forward the complaint to the Divisional Customer Office for review. With enough complaints, they will pull this item.

Please, send a message to them and let them know that this kind of merchandise is NOT acceptable, and will not make you want to spend your hard-earned money at the Bon. The Bon is a reputable store, and I believe the Bon will do the right thing- but only if they hear from people.

Absolutely!  I'll call and then email them.  Prolly a few (hundred) times.

Ya know, I got to thinking on my 800 mile journey to lil dudes school.  He isn't stupid!  He's not in any gifted and talented programs, but dude is NOT stupid!  I was angry when you put up your first post, but now I'm pissed! I did the whole 'imagine' thing and imagined some twit faced, snot nosed brat chasing him around throwing rocks calling him stupid!  GAWD!!!  But then I imagined me chasing her mommy around with rocks telling her how fricken stupid she is for allowing her child to wear such a shirt...and sigh...I felt at peace.  ;)

Wait a minute, come to think of it, when it comes right down to TRUE intelligence, my son would mop the f*ckin floor with both Todd and Cindy!!!!

Ok, to the phone I go..........

I sent off my email, then called the # you posted.  It said it wasn't a valid #...wassapwitdat????

Seems I'm unable to dial a phone correctly.  Maybe I can blame someone else for this......

Anyway, I spoke with someone, and this time I was nice.  I only said dude one time.  And dude, for me, that's quite an accomplishment.

So...what next?  Brent, you go right ahead and line 'em up and we'll knock 'em down!
