CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Gov. Bob Wise sent a letter to Abercrombie & Fitch on Monday demanding that the clothing retailer stop selling a T-shirt that spoofs the state with the slogan, "It's All Relative in West Virginia."

I'm not from WV... so i am not really sure how that is so offensive. I can guess.

I did like the New Hampshire shirt though. 47,000 squirrels can't be wrong. :)

The local dj's are having a field day with the WVA shirt!

ThetaPrincess24 03-23-2004 04:43 PM

yeah well if the shirt fits..........................:p


People need to lighten up...........everything is f&*%$#@ offensive anymore..........*shakes head* people need to laugh at each other..........I'm from Kentucky and I joke and laugh about hillbilly/redneck/shoeless/incest/toothless stuff all the time. I think people are just looking for reasons to bitch. Ashame.

That's wrong....if they're gonna do that, they should make a shirt for every state.

"Utah, where your Dad can be a player, legally."
"NY, if the air doesn't kill ya, someone on the subway will."
"Alabama..............."

LMAO! I like it!
Ya'll remember the one they had to pull off the shelves that said "Two Wongs don't make a White"? I though that was funny, expcially since I have some Asian American friends - who also found it hilarious! Maybe it's just me. :D

That wasn't funny!

Does that one on the bottom left corner say "Lake Flaccid" or "Lake Placid"? (I can't tell, my monitor sucks)

Do most high schoolers really get what that means? I don't think I would have when I was in HS. But that was years ago, so things might be different now.

Lol, I'd buy this shirt if it wasn't orange (i hate orange).

Pittsburghers always rip on West Virginia, so of course, we all think this is hilarious.

West Virginia's got enough problems without their governor expending all this time and energy into this. It's Abercrombie. Who takes Abercrombie seriously?

I like Shuck It! hahaha The corn reminds me of my shananigans in Illinois and Nebraska.

Hey Abercrombie... Urban Outfitters circa 1999 is calling and wants it's t-shirts back...

Stupid-a$$ stores...

ThetaPrincess24 03-25-2004 03:37 PM

they are selling shirts in lexington now with this slogan "Get Lucky in Kentucky" I find it so humorous, I'll probably buy one next paycheck :)

DGqueen17 03-25-2004 05:33 PM

I'm from WV (and damn proud! :D ) and I'm not offended. Kids at WVU have been wearing that shirt around. I think it's funny. Hell at least people will be like oh yea West Virginia is a state! Bob Wise is just looking for something to bitch about.

Lil' Hannah 03-25-2004 06:01 PM

Cheeses of Nazareth = brilliant.

alphaiota 03-26-2004 12:20 AM

the poor pugs!! lol!! i like those shirts. and i especially like deuika's ideas for shirts for every state. like ohio could be something like "Ohio - state uniform is a white robe and hood" (the KKK was started down near cincy) i know, tasteless and offensive. perfect for them!!

I dont mean to offend, but I dont see any humor in this Ohio slogan.........

Tom Earp 03-26-2004 06:39 PM

Everybody makes fun of Ole West Virginiy! Why not?:)

Isnt that the Part that Virginia wanted to get rid of anyway?;)

What is lush about Growing Crops in Hills and Hollars? ;)

alphaiota 03-26-2004 09:00 PM

yeah right. there were many more who didn't find that mess funny. considering A&F's history, this doesn't surprise me. i bet the president will come out and say that it was just a joke and everyone is being over sensitive.
