Bluenotes pulls offensive t-shirts

A colleague sent me an e-mail about this last week. It seems that enough of a firestorm was raised that Bluenotes has decided to pull the offensive tee-shirts, which trivialize violence and sexual assualt against women. The tee-shirts, which will thankfully no longer be sold in stores, read "No means have aNOther drink," which is a ploy on the "No Means No" slogan that the Canadian Federation of Students uses in its on-campus campaigns against date rape. Pulling these shirts was a wise decision. No means no, and that's a message that must be clear.
