God now I want to walk into a Wet Seal with a sharpie and correct every shirt on the rack.

It took me visiting this thread 3 times before it finally made any sense. I mean the your vs you're was readily apparent, but I kept reading the shirt as saying if your a single mom, so am I.

Maybe it was because one of my homework assignments discussed single moms (this happens when you study non-profits) so I had that on the brain, or maybe it was because the M and the O are so close together on the bottom that I dyslexiaed that into a word, but my first few brief glances at this thread had me seriously confused as to why someone thought selling a t-shirt for single moms to hit on other single moms would be a good idea.

And OopsPowSrprs comment only confounded me even more.

this is an intentional shibboleth.

in the social media world of pre-teens and teens, anyone who uses "you're" correctly is a loser nerd.

That's a most excellent letter. It appears that a decent amount of time and effort was put into writing it and I hope that it yields a formal (positive) response from the company. GG man

1/25/2011 1:53:52 PM

it wasnt me

1/25/2011 2:07:16 PM

Well shit.

1/25/2011 5:35:12 PM

1/25/2011 7:12:49 PM

maybe you missed it but that was already posted

1/25/2011 7:18:39 PM

This was probably intentional.

They've more than likely gotten more hits because of people outraged about this, than they ordinarily would.

send them the letter! Make sure you address it to some higher up person.

I wrote a letter to the CEO of Nestle in Switzerland about hot pocket crisping sleeves back in the day. Got half my suite in Bragaw to sign it. A few months later I got a letter back from the US office giving me like 10 coupons for hot pockets. A couple years later they redesigned the crisping sleeves so they hot pocket wouldn't be soggy on the edges.
