Russians for Russia!

Buyer beware! Especially corporate purchasers for companies shouldn't necessarily take the word of their suppliers at face value. In the UK retail shop Burton's sold a t-shirt that had a right-wing Russian slogan on it but the supplier had claimed it said something closer to "be proud of Russia".

Burton's Racist Russian Gaffe

So now there's a good amount of people in London walking around with a t-shirt that says "Let's cleanse Russia of all non-Russians". Not just non-Russians, but non-native Russians...

This makes me think of the Abercrombie "Two Wong's" row from a few years ago. "Two Wong's Make it White"

So lessons learned? I hope so... but probably not. When you're selling, or even wearing, something with a language you don't understand on it, realize you might be walking around like a complete ass because you're announcing yourself as a proponant for ethnic cleansing.

On a side note... for everyone that has a Che Guevara bag, t-shirt, pin, or whatnot... realize he wasn't the nicest guy on the planet either since he advocated violence as a method to instill socialist ideals. Read the wiki article on him and learn who your hero is.
