One Million Moms Strikes Again! Goes After Urban Outfitters!

Those 40,000 One Million Moms are at it again!

The group, who highly opposed Ellen DeGeneres’ role as the JCPenney spokeswoman earlier this year, have launched another attack — this time, at clothing retailer Urban Outfitters!

One Million Moms ranted on their website about the picture (above), stating:

"The April 2012 catalog from Urban Outfitters has begun arriving in home mailboxes the last couple of days. On page two of this catalog is a picture of two women kissing in a face holding embrace! The ad and catalog are clearly geared toward teenagers. The content is offensive and inappropriate for a teen who is the company's target customer."

GASP! Two girls kissing…seriously?!? How ridiculous!

We think these moms should pick up some OTHER hobbies in their free time, like maybe teaching themselves some tolerance, perhaps?! Just a suggestion.

We hope they end up dropping this case just as they did with Ellen’s!!

RiRi's Hypnotizing In Santa Monica

A jet lagged Rihanna was less than thrilled to see the paparazzi outside Giorgio Baldi restaurant last night.

The sleepy head stepped out of her car in dress by Something Else, black knee-highs with red toes and black sandals.

We like how she matched her lips to her toes!

Do U???

Urban Outfitters' "Tranny" Greeting Card Sparks Outrage

Oops they did it again!

After successfully pissing off Irish Americans, Urban Outfitters is already offending another group: the LGBT community.

Advocates are up in arms over what Urban describes as a "charming" transphobic greeting card based off the classic Jack & Jill nursery rhyme. The card reads:

Jack and Jill,
Went up the hill,
So Jack could see Jill's fanny,
But Jack got a shock,
And an eyeful of cock,
Because Jill was a closet tranny.

The card was only available on UO's UK website and has since been yanked from the website sold out.

So far no comment from Urban Outfitters.

Thoughts???

Nike Apologizes For Offensive St. Patty's Day Shoes

Welp! This year definitely won't be going down as the Irish's favorite St. Patrick's Day!

Urban Outfitters already offended them with their stereotypical clothing, and now so has Nike!

As soon as they unveiled their Nike SB Dunk Low (aka the Black & Tans), Irish groups dropped their jaws.

The shoe was meant to pay homage to a popular St. Patty's Day drink mix of stout and lager. But unbeknownst to Nike, "the Black and Tans" were originally a British paramilitary group known for brutally assaulting civilians during the Irish Revolution.

Ouch…

Nike apologized of course, insisting there was no intent or knowledge of the horrific history associated with the term. But maybe next time they should hire someone to do a lil' Google research!
