Teenagers who were offended by T-shirts on sale at Abercrombie & Fitch and launched what they called a "girlcott" met with company brass on Monday. Some of the T-shirts went too far, according to some young women.

The shirts boasted slogans such as:

"Blondes are adored, brunettes are ignored."

"Give me something to scream about."

The T-shirt that got the girls so upset in the first place said, "Who needs brains when you have these?" -- the words written across the chest of the shirt.

One of the protesters said, "Just being in high school we have enough to deal with -- without having to walk around looking at my own peers just degrading themselves and demeaning themselves. Just how much more negative can you get?"

Representatives from a group called the Women and Girls Foundation were invited to Abercrombie & Fitch national headquarters, in Columbus, Ohio, on Monday, to offer up their own ideas for T-shirts.

Messages like, "Your book or mine?" and, "You're just jealous because I have a 4.0." were put forth.

The girls said they hope the company gets their message.

"The money's coming out of our wallets. We're putting our money down for their products. So, they've got to make it better," one girl said.

Irony how the girl said "The money's coming out of our wallets. Wer'e putting our money down their products. So they've got to make it better"?

Someone should tell that blonde that money cannot come out of a wallet by itself and the product with the offensive slogan is a hot commodity and that is why it is selling.

Yes the corporations are responsible but so are the slvts that buy them. Maybe you should look into that.

Beside who ever came out with ""Who needs brains when you have these?" is a genius!! Its funny cause its TRUE!!:crackup:

one more thing, don't try to turn into a some sort of feminist cruesade by taking away the word boys from boycott and replace it with girl. Girlcott sounds like a brand of tampons and that name will never fly.

girlcott

Fvckin idiots.

This is the waste product of when a b!tch has too much time on her hands and not enough d!ck up her ass. All that time and effort wasted trying to think of a catchy grrrrrl power slogan would have been better spent learning a recipe.

Protesting has nothing to do with fascism.

if you don't like the shirts, then don't buy them.

the only reason they sell them is because it's popular among women. it's simple supply and demond.
