Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Often, the best reaction is to contact Amazon.com directly (in  
addition to the reviews you can leave).  Amazon does not typically  
double-check every product made available.  You can quickly make a  
product available via Amazon.  If we all contact them, they may  
quickly remove it from the site.

The one reaction I would hesitate on taking is releasing a Press  
Release or contacting the media (an act I often do believe in to raise  
awareness).  Creators of such a shirt would receive MASSIVE publicity  
for FREE and sell a lot more of these shirts filled with a horrific  
message.  Lets not help them make money on such a despicable shirt.   
Media coverage greatly increases website traffic for negative news.   
Right now, this shirt might not even be selling.  ALL the reviews I  
have read on the shirt are negative and letting the person know how  
horrible the shirt is.

The best result would be getting the shirt taken down (potentially  
getting this vendor permanently removed from Amazon) and not giving  
them any publicity which would benefit them.
