As if we didn't need ANOTHER reason to hate Wal-Mart...

Funny?

But, in Wal-Mart's opinion, yes. They have recently begun to sell this shirt in their stores. A stalking survivor noticed the shirt and reported it to the NC Coalition Against Domestic Violence who contacted Wal-Mart. No response as of yet.
According to the woman who reported the shirt:
"People don't realize how serious stalking is," she said. "You constantly live in fear, look over your shoulder and suffer from psychological and physical symptoms due to the stress of the stalker."

She wondered aloud: What's next?

"Some say it's rape, I call it hot sex"? Or: "Some call it domestic violence, I say I'm just teaching her a lesson"?

Bizarre. But maybe not so unexpected, considering that Wal-Mart once removed this shirt off it's shelves, deeming it too offensive and incompatible with the company values.
