Wow, that's tasteless. Who in their right mind thought that was a good idea or even ok?

It's good that they pulled it from their line but it's bad that they even put it up to begin with.

Next they'll be selling a Charles Manson themed clothing line...

I honestly wouldn't put it past them.

Urban Outfitters is garbage. They're a terrible company. They release all these lines of clothing that they think is edgy but its down right repulsive and disgusting, and then charge outrageous amounts of money for it. And then they will pull the line and claim "we didn't know, it was a mistake, we didn't know it would offend anyone." Yeah freaking right.

They are the lowest of the low. I don't know what kind of people work there who think that making money off of Kent State blood spattered sweatshirts, t shirts that glamorize mental health issues like eating disorders and depression, Jewish Star sweaters, etc, is an ok thing. Clearly they are doing it for shock value but there are people who will actually buy this stuff and think it's cool.

There is a special place reserved in the lowest pits of Hell for the corporate people at Urban Outfitters.

And that's my rant of the day.

The use of the word "pop" instead of soda really throws me off

I have lived all over the country and have worked with people from all over the country. You get used to it.

How about this one--want a Coke? Yeah, what kind?

That is the hardest one to get used to!

I'm more thrown by the use of Coke for all soda in the south. "Would you like a coke? What kind?".
ETA: just read post above mine. Sorry about that!

@CheerBank

That would throw me off too. I think they said that when I was in Mississippi for UCA work week this past year but I don't remember.

A Coke is a Coke. It is also a soda...or pop too I guess. Just weird to me!

The use of the work "pop or soda" instead of Coke throws me off.

I'm about 30-40 minutes away from Kent, and I've had quite a few classmates from high school go there. This topic is all over my timeline and newsfeed today including a statement from our local congressman about how wrong it is.

There are definitely more getting through these past few weeks than there used to be over the past 6 months. I think it is cyclical though. One @King figures out how they are able to post spam, he tweaks it and they stop for a good while.

Pretty much. There will always be spam and overall it is crushed in here pretty quickly. The newbie section helps a ton.

My sister's friend posted a picture to instagram of herself and some friends wearing her cheer uniform to school the day of a game and she's wearing her shell top with JEANS AND RAINBOWS AND I WANT TO DIE AND/OR STRANGLE THAT COACH

My daughter's cheer packet had rules and one of them was not wearing uniform pieces with anything. You have to wear the full uniform or none of it!

I think I am the only person that does this... But I've always grown up calling fountain drinks "soda" and bottle drinks "pop" - because soda comes from a sods fountain and you pop the bottle open? Lol I don't actually even know why - I've just always said it that way.

 

[TinyBlondie15]

I used to call things "pop" when I lived in Oregon but since moving to FLorida I call them "soda" or whatever their name is
