5 year olds and 18 year old girls should be able to show their shoulders. It’s friggin hot in Texas and the 5 and 18 year old boys will just have to deal with it.

I agree. I think this is a great protest strategy - high visibility, doesn't permanently damage private property (it's just t-shirts), and ultimately gets publicity for both the store and the protest. It's like yarn-bombing, but with a message. Plus - who doesn't love a free t-shirt?

I like commandeered. We should commandeer more stuff. Commandeering should become a thing.

Yeah. I mean, this is small but I think it could be effective. A) It’s peaceful, and I’m pretty much always behind peaceful protests and B) the media attention it’s going to get will help raise even more awareness of this issue. Not all protests have to be marching in the streets and chanting, it’s okay to get

Wow - a lot of bummer responses here. Is this single act going to radically shift race dynamics in our country? Of course not. Is it a creative attention-getting move that, however briefly, harnesses the power of corporate branding for a worthwhile cause? Hell yes!

It seems like most of these early commenters are acting deliberately obtuse about the meaning of protest and civil disobedience.

Apparently you and I live in fucking bizarro land because the reporter from this site is the one who is the arse and you and I can’t see it. What is wrong with us?

yes, the reporter sounds like an ass, not the coked out perv bar owner with a 2-way mirror in the ladies washroom for peeping. lol

You just seriously #notallmen’ed M_Boston? *sigh*

I like the cut of your jib.

Animals don’t respond to ringtones, that’s quack science. I’m down with rescuing baby ducks, I just hope taxpayers don’t have to foot the bill.

How does this rank on the “poor taste” scale compared to Lady Gaga singing “Do What U Want” with R Kelly (music video by Terry Richardson)?

Or you could just hand them the extra change and ask them to give you back three quarters for the meter like anyone who wasn’t so pathetic that they had to go this far out of their way to find people to feel superior to would do.

Actually, you’re a jerk

It’s not a shake it’s a frappe

Hate to break this to you, but butter is mostly oil...

I am 48, Christian and if you asked me about Christmas Crackers I would think you're talking about something edible. I've only seen those Crackers on TV

Carrot cake almost exclusively uses oil.

So incredibly interesting! This:
