A mother upset about 'indecent' T-shirts on display at a Utah mall found a quick if not especially convenient way to remove them: She bought every last one.

Judy Cox and her 18-year-old son were shopping on Saturday at the University Mall in Orem, about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City, when she saw the shirts in the window of a PacSun store.

The shirts featured pictures of scantily dressed models in provocative poses.

Ridiculous. All she's accomplished is lots of free advertising for PacSun which I never heard of before.

[1000words]

1. She sure showed them!

Mom's not much of a thinker.

[jamzrockz]

32. She plans on returning the T shirts

after 60 for a refund. She can effectively stop them from selling those shirts if she wants to

[1000words]

33. Cash refund is almost unheard of these days

Particularly from a national franchise. She'll get store credit and still have spent nearly $600, in "protest." The shirts will be still be available for purchase ... and now, she's called attention to the product.

Mental giant, she is.

2. I know, rt!

Now pacsun has money to make more.

Prudery backfires every damn time.

[Plucketeer]

3. Well, there's that AND

I'll bet the store shows a great take for that day. This mom's problem is that she became one. One more dose of doltishness to the gene pool!

[Agschmid]

27. I'm sure she will return them on the last possible day.

4. Attention warehouse, send more quickly!

[iamthebandfanman]

5. i wouldnt let a kid of mine

wear that and im not very religious at all (im a deist tho if forced to classify my beliefs) ... as others have said, she didn't think much about what she was doing eh ? BOUGHT them all ? not much of a protest.
lmao. sheesh.

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. I wouldn't let my boys wear them.

[LiberalElite]

8. I bet she

never protested anything in her life before this.

[JackInGreen]

9. Apparently

She's stated her intent to return them before the return period is up, to make the company eat the cost, but I'm thinking they may take this as 'abuse of the returns system', and make her keep em.

[LiberalElite]

15. HA!

I'd love that if they did!

[Bodhi BloodWave]

38. actually i hope they give her store credit(would make more sense these days)

but also having stocked up on the t-shirts again.

That would let them have a full new stock AND the returned t-shirts for sale, so if she wanted to keep protesting she'd have to buy all of them again......return them before time is up whereupon they likely have ordered new stock....etc etc

17. her "boy" is 18

I was enlisted in the military at that age

[sendero]

37. Nor would I..

....let's just agree to NOT BUY THEM.

[notadmblnd]

6. Well isn't that special?

She's doing a great Dana Carvey impression. The clenched jaw, the pursed lips. I wonder if he got the idea for his "church Lady" character from her?

[JBoy]

10. She's just suffering from tsk'ing cramp.

[1000words]

13. I wonder if her own last name makes her uncomfortable

[Travis_0004]

11. The real crime is the fact that 567 dollars only got her 19 T-shirts

That being said, I hope the store can find good reason to refuse the return and have her get stuck with the merchandise.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

12. She looks like a ball of laughs at a party

I heard she once removed a tag from the bottom of the mattress.

[Iggo]

16. Ooh, scandal!

[leftyohiolib]

19. it says how much in the article, 567$

[gopiscrap]

[TeamPooka]

[TeamPooka]

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

YOUR COMMENTS

religious bigotry from a new poster.
This is not allowed even if we don't agree with that church.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Wed Feb 19, 2014, 09:04 PM, and voted 5-1 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Name calling. Hide.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Alerter is right. There's no place for religious bigotry on DU.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is a common satirical spelling among ex-Mormons. The writer is probably an ex-Mo. This is the second time I've served on a jury about this same thing in the last few days, BTW. I am usually sympathetic to alerters, but there are much more serious problems on DU that are not being dealt with.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This atheist agrees with the alerter.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Mor(m)on ... not really cute or funny. One can have a lot of issues with the Mormon church (I do), but this is very disrespectful to our Mormon members
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Bigoted post having no redeeming value.

20. The stoopid, it burns

[TeamPooka]

21. I hope Pac Sun changes their return policy this week so she's stuck with them...

I think they should refuse to take them back since she bought them to keep them off the shelf and prevent the store from selling them to others.

[cosmicone]

22. I bet PacSun loves this

this is publicity and notoriety money can't buy. If I were a teenager, I'd want one of those T-shirts NOW!

[LiberalElite]

24. I just Googled it and

There's one just a couple miles from me!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

25. Why is a British newspaper worrying about this?

the women are wearing underwear?

[penultimate]

26. Blahaha...What a dummy.

She really showed them. I wonder how long she'll keep this up. Sure makes it easy for the manufacturers and store.

[Lucky Luciano]

29. The owner of the store will probably be stocking up big time!

This time many cases of the shirts will be in the back room

[packman]

30. Well, if worse comes to worse

And if the response to the Sport's Ill. issue on this forum is any indication - she could sell them here because they "featured pictures of scantily dressed models in provocative poses"

[TBF]

31. Pac Sun is pretty popular with the preteens-teens

here in suburbia. Now they will be known everywhere ...

I can't wait for her to see an Abercrombie & Fitch store - her head will explode.

[Yavin4]

35. Pac Sun must be loving the free advertisements

Never heard of them before this article.

[DeadLetterOffice]

36. Sounds like that town is just a joy to live in. Ugh. eom
