Another case of political correctness going too far.

That sickens me. If someone is offended, then they shouldn’t buy the shirt. Them being offended by something innocuous is their problem.

One customer writes letter to boss of company to point out offensive T-shirt. Boss looks into the t-shirt for them. Agrees it’s offensive. Removes t-shirt

(Much later people on the internet get all het up about it being “PC gone mad!!!”)

Strange thing to be sickened by? I’m usually more offended by companies ignoring complaints from their customers.

Honestly the silliest thing here is the boss removing the shirt out of fear of a backlash when there almost certainly wouldn’t be any (of any significance anyway).
