Forever 21 Tee Salutes New York Fashion With Poor Grammar & Sloppy Spelling

Just in time for New York Fashion Week and the anniversary of 9/11, Forever 21 has pulled an Old Navy and released a t-shirt featuring a fake magazine article on fashion and the spirit of American independence with a funky spelling error and some seriously questionable grammar.

In Style We Trust Top: $13.80

"Girl, you going to that IndepenDance later tonight?"

"Bitch, you know I'm going. If we don't pop and lock, the terrorists win!"

There's also a line in the paragraph right above "The New York Fashion Issue" which reads, "In my case, my mother did definitely not inspire me."

I guess she also did definitely not make you crack a text book every now and then. At least this explains the "Skool Sucks" top.

Forever 21, in Spellcheck we trust.

It's what happens when you're pretty and your brother does your homework.

A few years ago before a big college rivalry game t-shirt vendors were hawking shirts for the game on the streets of my city. Both teams had no losses.

I guess because they were trying to be overly careful regarding the spelling, the shirts touted the upcoming game as "The Battle of the Unbeatings". (Because we learned in school that we say "unbeatin's" but in the proper spellin' of a word with the "in" sound you gotta put a "g" at the end of that word. A'ight?)

So what? Tea Party signs have worse spelling.

But these are designed for tween girls. Not too late to teach them.

Wow..... Really?? Did you just turn an article about a clothing store into something anti-Tea Party?

The bigger story: this shirt could be made from cotton picked by forced child labor in Uzbekistan. Unlike its major competitors, Forever 21 has so far refused to prohibit the use of cotton from Uzbekistan. The government in Uzbekistan removes children from school and forces them to pick cotton. http://www.change.org/petitions/tell-forever-21-to-stop-forced-child-labor-in-cotton
