I will be the first to admit it, men can really be idiots sometimes. Another example rears its ugly head.
“Wife-beaters.com, a Dallas-based business that sold wife-beater T-shirts, has been shut down. The Web site sold white tank tops, commonly referred to as “wife-beaters,” and gave a discount to anyone who could prove they were convicted of wife beating.”
Well, there you have it, the lowest form of man attempting their hand at capitalism.

Are you kidding? These guys are geniuses.
Yes, domestic abuse is a serious issue, but plenty of people (including Mr. Wonka) wear wifebeaters who don’t actually beat their wives, and now they have a place to go to get them at a discount (you know, so they don’t have to continually wear dingy ones…) The discount is a cute little novelty that has drawn huge attention to their site.
It doesn’t encourage domestic abuse (I grant that it may trivialize it…), and I will assume that their sales will pick up once they find a new web host.
A+
