"If you’re a parent out on a clothing binge, you might want to beware – even clothing stores may have an agenda. Specifically, a brand known as “Obey Clothing,” which apparently stocks Urban Outfitters, among other department stores, has been marketing increasingly aggressive looking products to teens.
If the Soviet reminiscent art style looks familiar, it should – Obey Clothing is the brainchild of Shepard Fairey, the man responsible for the tongue-in-cheek “OBEY” poster featuring Andre the Giant.
And that’s not all Fairey is responsible for. Featured on the website for his clothing line is a section titled, ironically, “Propaganda.” It includes such ‘hopeful images’ as the following:
And just to repeat – these are not produced by some cut rate art house fashion outlet. The company that makes these gets stocked at Urban Outfitters and Nordstroms, among others. Would you want your kids coming home wearing any of these?

Reminds me of a incedent a few years ago where one garmet maker H.COLTER & COMPANY was sewing in these tags reading ABSOLUTLY NO HUNTING OF WILD AND FREE ANIMALS WHILE WEARING THIS GARMET when the public got wind of this many stores that carred the items were removing the tags. What they should do is totaly boycott the company making these items
Ah, censorship perpetrated by the right. Keep it up, boys.
For many years, Europeans were famous for their national boycotts which shut down, not only companies, but whole governments that defied or offended the will of the people. Unfortunately, Americans have become too weak and stupid to realize the power they actually have via boycotts. They simply view garments like these as "cute", or as merely an expression by the "school-trained" anarchists they call their kids.
Freedom, like pure clean water, is essential to our way of life. But, too much unlimited freedom, like too much water, can destroy all in it's path.
Anon 3:05, typical leftist remark, confusing censorship with facing the consequences of one's words and actions.
Anon5:40,
Boo hoo hoo.
Your pal,
Anon 3:05
Anon 5:40, Aw now you went and made Anon 3:05 cry. Now he'll need a government program to recover his, most likely undeserved, self esteem.
Ah, come on Anon812, you can hurl better insults than that. I am disappointed in you. LOL
Anonymous 3:05:
What censorship? Did you follow the source and read the actual article? No, you clearly did not because the article is just describing something, not trying to shut the clothing companies up.
Are you angry that leftist propaganda is seeing the light of day? Are you trying to hide something?
On a related note, out here in the Southwest U.S. Sheriff Joe is a well-liked public figure. If all of the police departments in Southern California had their own Sheriff Joe, huge swaths of the state would be much more livable.
"swaths of the state would be much more livable."
just for dem white folk
