CLOTHING chain H&M has withdrawn a T-shirt bearing a logo in support of radical mayor and union leader Juan Manuel Sanchez Gordillo.
The T-shirt, which shows a hand clutching vegetables with the words ‘No world hunger – Juan Manuel Sanchez Gordillo’, was on sale for less than a week before being removed.
A spokesman for H&M said the firm apologised for causing controversy with the design and stated they ‘never intended to take sides’ with regard to the food raids in Carrefour and Mercadona supermarkets.

H&M. = Hypocrites and Morons = money-grubbing cowards.
So what is politically inacceptable with the statement “Food to the People – no world hunger” to warrant an apology from anybody?
Isn’t that what the whole world is clamouring for? Who cares who is making the statement? Ghandi did!
*unacceptable
How can I get one?
They should launch another T shirt that say’s “Gordillo gets his food for free, we pay for it”.
Dai: Have your own printed and see if Hypocrite and Moron have the nerve to sue you for copyright.
Did H&M previously endorse Gordillo and his policies? I thought this was just a regular clothing store – thus making clothes that appeal to the general public. If they previously endorsed Gordillo but then yanked the shirt, that would be hypocrisy. But if H&M never took or endorsed Gordillo’s political stance then it isn’t hypocritical.
In fact, it’s good business sense not to take a political stance that is going to alienate your client base.
Sometimes I think people need to use dictionaries more.
