Urban Outfitters has gone bonkers

Urban Outfitters has got nuts.




Here a very thin young woman wears a t-shirt that suggests others eat less. For $28.00 you too can own a shirt that promotes eating disorders.





This shirt's message steps right along side Purity Balls where a father and daughter celebrate the daughter's promise to her father that she will remain a virgin until she marries.

I can't imagine that many individuals who shop at Urban Outfitters would want a shirt like this but never the less Urban Outfitters must believe there is a market for it.



I posted on the above shirt once before. In what I assume is an attempt to be hip, Urban Outfitters has invented White/Charcoal and Obama/Black color shirts.

Obama's true skin shade is not "black". Even if Urban Outfitters is referring to his race rather than his literal skin color, being black or a member of any other race shouldn't in my view become trendy or impressive for shallow reasons.

An Obama/Black t-shirt trivializes Obama and his background.

If any of you feel strong enough to make your feelings known about these ridiculous shirts send your complaints here.
