ESPN's 'Egg The Transvestites' Tees

Zellers, a Canadian retail giant with nearly 300 stores spread throughout Canada has been selling a T-shirt that includes the message, "Yo, let's get 'em. Let's drive-by egg these transvestites." They were available in children's sizes, because the shirts were for children.

The shirts were manufactured by X Games Clothing, a subsidiary of ESPN Consumer Products, which is owned by the Walt Disney Co., harbingers of the ABC television network.

The shirts were pulled from the racks amidst a nationwide recall after shopper found the tee she purchased for her four-year-old son contained some horrible dialogue between two friends that also included this phrase: "What the fuck?" The mini-conversation, about listening to rap music and bashing cross-dressers, went like this:

Oh man, I don't know. They got their equal parts of being ridiculous. Terry is pretty high jinks. I'd say Terry is pretty up there… remember one time when he and I were like fifteen or sixteen, we were driving around…. getting hyped, listening to Mafia; just youngsters having some fun. Me and Terry would see the transvestites on Santa Monica and this one time… [we were] like 'Yo, let's get 'em. Let's drive-by egg these transvestites.'

These shirts isn't that they call for violence against transvestites. The writers of the tee's copy came from Engrish.com.
