Depends Upon My Mood..
Should such shirts be banned? Is it legitimate for parents to get companies to remove such merchandise, or should they simply be voting with their money?
I guess I don't see it as they were getting the company to remove the merchandise.I think it sounded more like people letting the company know they weren't going to be shopping there any longer because they found those kinds of messages personally offensive.
The company had the choice to say O.K fine don't come back in here .
If anything the ones who complained (explained why they will not shop their anymore)were doing the company a favor.If everyone who was insulted just simply stopped shopping there and there were enough of them ..and sales just declined they would have no idea why.
Interestingly one of our local grocers carried a deli /store made pico de gallo that was fresh and delicous.Great value for the buck too as far as price.Many times I specifically went to that store to get that ..so while I was there I bought other items too that we needed.Well all of the sudden they were always out.I would go back in a day or two and they were out..out out ..every time though I asked why ?No one knew.I stopped shopping there as much ..Anyway months later my husband went and saw they had it again.He inquired they said many people had complained.So they brought it back.
But I wouldn't say complaining about it was somehow forcing them to carry the item.I think they did themselves a favor listening to the customers.
