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.

yeah well if the shirt fits..........................


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.

"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.

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?
