Holy Crap!
« on: September 19, 2010, 06:30:33 AM »
So I was reading a thread in DUmor Land, and I stumbled upon this:

http://www.cafepress.com/du_store/591633

You've GOT to be kidding me. They actually sell DU shit? People actually buy it?! :thatsright:

Wonder if Violator can track how much merch is sold on a weekly basis.  :-)

:usflag: :salutearmy: :saluteaf: :saluteusmc: :salutenavy: :taps:
THANK YOU for what you do!

soon as you find your manhood all else falls into place.

I know there was a thread at DU at some point where people were yapping about no longer wanting DU to sell their merchandise at cafepress, I don't know if the owner of cafepress had the audacity to give money to a Republican candidate? or maybe the person was pro-life? or what the issue was, but there was something about it.

57. ****GOOD NEWS**** DU is closing CafePress Store.
   
On another thread an Admin said that the DU Store would be closed within the hour. I hope a lot of other big accounts do the same.

And here's the entire thread, and look at the reasons cited:

Hey Skinner, it's time to close down your Cafe Press store!

From Cafe Press:

Dear Michelle,

Thank you for contacting CafePress.com!

Cafepress looks at content on a case by case basis, and makes decisions about what content is permissible based on our content usage policy.

Anti-presidential gear has been a mainstay at Cafepress since we were founded in 1999 and has become a key component of political discourse. Our site has become a cultural barometer of public opinion and as such designs often come into question. In managing our content we are trying to protect self expression, while making sure we are not advocating violence.

We initially pulled the Psalm 109:8 content from our products today because broader media dialog indicated that these designs potentially suggested violence towards the president. Based on current public discourse and further review of the actual content, we have determined that it is fair political commentary and we are in the process of reinstating this merchandise. As with all of our content, these designs will continue to be reviewed and if at any time their meaning is construed as advocating violence we will revisit our decision.

They probably won't sell much.  Cafe Press only takes cash or credit cards.  Bong hits and Cheetos are not valid currency there.

And yeah, there's an assclown running around my town with a DU sticker on his back window.  Real POS car, too.  Bumper sticker is probably the only thing holding it together.

Actually I know a DUer, but not the on-line ID.  Nice person, really, just grossly wrong.  I believe the particular person is more of a lurker than a poster, anyway.

It's kind of :( in a :lmao: way isn't it? They probably told those poor people that they'll stop using cafepress just to shut them up and it worked, they shut them up and they're still using cafepress, kind of like the Democrats, they tell the progressives what they want to hear than still do what they want.

If I understand right, the DU people wanted Cafepress to stop selling anti-Obama items? 

This reminds me of a mother site I used to post on regularly.  The progressive moms complained about all the "anti-Obama" and "pro-life" signatures the conservative moms had.  The progressive's threw a HUGE fit about it and all of us conservative mom's had to take down anything deemed "offensive" to the other side.

It was the most ridiculous thing ever. 

It's the typical hypocrisy from the left considering all of the anti Bush crap that was posted all over the place.

Oh yeah, I've been on boards that said you couldn't use political siggys because the left got all upset, but peace signs are allowed, no idea why, so I decided to sport a peace sign and got told that my "peace" sign fell into the category of political siggys, WTF?
