PF Chang Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/oddnews/in-protest-of-pacsun%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%98pornographic%E2%80%99-t-shirts--a-mom-buys-all-of-them-204809232.html A Utah mother was so disgusted by a PacSun t-shirt window display she passed, calling it “pornography,” that she purchased every one of the offensive t-shirts they had in stock. Judy Cox was shopping with her 19-year-old son in the University Mall in Orem, Utah when they walked by a window display featuring t-shirts printed with photographs of scantily clad women. The mom told KTVX ABC 4 Utah, "On our way to another store we passed the PacSun store and I just stopped dead in my tracks." The display had four VISUAL by Van Styles tees that Cox believes were not only inappropriate, but could also be in violation of state and city decency codes. More at link. My takeaway: If I'm this lady's son, I'm going to attend college on the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Can someone post a pic of what was on the T shirts that was so offensive. Maybe next she will go to the grocery store and buy all the Maxim magazines on display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I hope Pac Sun refuses to refund her. Or, in the very least, bans her from future purchases/returns (which they can legally do with chronic returners). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 This buzzfeed article has images of the offending tshirts. Tame by today's standards but we are talking about a mom in Utah here so it shouldn't be too surprising that she finds images of women in lingerie pornographic. She's got no chance of winning this battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCS Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Ah yes. I had a feeling as soon as I read the title that this may have happened near my old stomping grounds. No surprise this takes place in Orem. Now if this was in Park City,then the title would be "Mom buys t-shirts FOR son." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGibbs Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Ha ha. "I think Mrs. Cox name is pornographic and I'd like to buy it." Lord help her if she ever walks the boardwalks of America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, in the very least, bans her from future purchases/returns (which they can legally do with chronic returners). I don't know if this applies here, but she has basically admitted to dealing in bad faith. I also hope she's stuck with the bill, which I'd consider to be some sort of Stupid Tax. I mean we're talking bra and panties here, right? Yeah -- but according to Mrs. Cox the pose is particularly "provocative." As an aside, this lady looks exactly like what you'd expect.

PF Chang Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Jokes from the facebook commentators on articles are the worst. That's why I come here for my one liners about articles about stupid things. Sometimes I can't help myself and I delve into the local newspaper comments on these "family values" articles. I read one by a supporter of this lady's crusade, who said he was "tired of other people's 1st amendment rights infringing on my 1st amendment rights." In this case, I guess, his 1st amendment rights include the right to remove anything he deems inappropriate from public consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 In this case, I guess, his 1st amendment rights include the right to remove anything he deems inappropriate from public consumption. Haven't you heard? The constitution clearly establishes the rights to censorship. And to discrimination. By the government. IF someone (falsely) claims that their religion tells them to do it. (And if their religion is Christianity.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
