So, when you see something for sale that you don't like, buy the
entire inventory, but only if the store has a return policy.

"Everything must have a purpose?" asked God. "Certainly," said man. "Then I leave it to you to think of one for all this," said God. And He went away.

Would anything bearing the Obama logo qualify here?

Most definitely...obscene, smutty, repulsive and over the top objectionable.

Yes, the design of an ebook cover is very important.
I'm halfway through and the punctuation is excellent, the story too.

Well I still have not seen the T-shirts, so can only go by what the article says.  I do believe Victoria's Secret's displays and ads are much more offensive to the general public.  These models often are almost completely nude.  If that is not X-rated, I don't know what is????  I think all women should refuse to buy their product until they take down these displays.

Nice punctuation? Nice typing, too.  :wink:

Thank God for developmental and line editors!

I don't use "developmental editing." My beta readers did help tremendously in other areas, but spelling wasn't part of that process.

Um, I have heard through reliable sources that the X-rated part usually begins AFTER the skivvies are removed. Other people's mileage of course may vary.

If you're talking about store window displays, I agree the ads or models should not be dressed so as to offend passers-by. In-store ads are completely different, and you are always free to not see them, simply by not going in there...which is that "don't buy it" part, unless I misunderstand you.

First Amendment rights also apply. It is their store. They obviously do have a clientele which is apparently NOT objecting as you are (explaining why these displays remain) or else you are at the forefront of a groundswell and I wish you the best of luck in changing their frame of mind.

Well you are right there and yes they have a huge clientele.  Since Larry Flint with Hustler magazine won in his Supreme Court battle for Free Speech, we know to object to these companies is pretty much useless.   Like you said, the best thing to do is just stay away and don't buy their shit.

The lady's ingenuity should be commended. She exercised her right to buy up all the shirts. Now she has said she will return them within their return policy.  :thumbup: :thumbup:
