\"Either at the time they really weren't serious, or their capacity to do that is limited, which makes one wonder about recalls of potentially dangerous products.\" emphasis mine
Particularly since there were shirts on shelves after that New Mexico Paper ran the story. I would have thought that once there was mainstream press back on this story they would have yanked the shirts.

Does that make us, as commenters... action news?? Résumé time!

That's it.
All Store managers who haven't pulled these need to be lined up against the wall and shot.

branwellington,
Apparently your complaint to Walmart did not result in Walmart removing the shirts. Perhaps when Congress issues the request, Walmart will take it more seriously.
I don't want Congress to forbid the selling of a tshirt. That's not what is happening. Instead, members of Congress are either expressing their personal outrage or giving a voice to the concerns of their constituents. Either way, that's ok by me.

Commenters, I think, would qualify as Scout Reporters.

.....There are some cool T-shirts at my local Walmart, but they pulled the Nazi one as soon as the story broke. My son is ticked that evidently, they're not selling the \"Where my Peeps at?\" shirt, anymore, either. What's up with that?

I was surprised it took the press so long to catch on though. Perhaps Consumerist should start issuing press releases. Reporters love when they can just copy/paste from a press release.

\"But of course we'll pull these from the shelves as soon as well sell the $3,000,000 worth of them that we still have in our warehouse.\"
Why does it matter? This country supports free speech. We should let the free market reign in situations likes this.
The point you should be making, I suppose, is that it makes Wal-Mart look bad to its customers.

freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of criticism
or freedom from loosing support
It's horrible for Walmart to sell these shirts. They are offensive and extremely distasteful. As consumers, we should (and did) notify them that we won't put up with this level of insensitivity. But do we really want Congress weighing in on what clothing we can and can't sell (and, by extension, wear)?
We're all patting ourselves on the back right now because it's Walmart (boo hiss!) and it's Nazis (boo hiss!). But this is a slippery slope.
