American Eagle is no longer allowed to print Elephants on their clothes.
American Eagle's graphic t's always talk about other countrys like china and italy and austrlia ect and feature little saying with them and graphics, its what their graphic ts are know for. anyways This morning i opened today and we got some special email notification to pull off all our products that had an Elephants on them. We had this new Sheer Baby Blue T which said India curry, come in for a quick bite or sumthing and it had a picture of a elephant with a crown on it and the elephant was "flexing" and in this email this morning it mentioned there was sum huge fight in the states at some store in LA how some one was totaly offended by this use of the elephant cause it was their religious idol or whatever..... i think its kinda dumb but oh well.. we had to pull one of our mens hats with a elephant on it as well as one cell phone ascessories that has little charms (on of them being an elephant).. all of them are off the shelf now...

If someone finds something to be pretty offensive to their religion, I'd have a hard time calling it 'political correctness at its worst'. Because religion isn't a large part of your life, it doesn't really give you grounds to pass judgement on those who happen to be that way, y'know? If something that was really important to you, that you were passionate about was being mocked on some level, I'm sure you'd get offended, n'est pas? I'm not trying to say that either side is right, but I just don't think it's right to get knee jerk reactions in these kinds of situations without completely understanding that some people may feel differently about certain things. Elephants are cute. Which AA do you work at, Dave?

I mean if you don't see a problem with judging other cultures based on your own cultural values, then there's problems.

the reason why someone got offended is because thats there religious idol.. thing..
thats what they worship.. its just like when some christains get offended by.. "jesus is my home boy" shirts...if you used them in a diff way.. then i dont really think anyone would mind.. just that one shirt tho.. Quote:
