Releases and proudly displays new shirt on Memorial Day weekend.
Is anyone shocked that the ensuing backlash forced them to remove the displays and stop selling the shirt?
There wasn't ONE person at PacSun who said, "Uh, has anyone looked at a calendar?"

What's the point of it, anyway?

The link to purchase the shirt, which was apparently designed in a collaboration with rapper A$AP Rocky, now redirects to the PacSun homepage.
Although some people seem to have a more fundamental issue.
As members of the military know, flags are only meant to be flown this way "in instances of extreme danger to life or property," according to the U.S. Flag Code.
Of not being able to distinguish a t-shirt from a flag.

Well, I get the "is it art?" aspect, but seriously... what point would the wearer be making? There would probably be a single coherent answer from 100 people wearing the shirt.

It's got the anarchy symbol on one of the sleeves. Looks no more offensive or different than a billion t-shirts I've seen at punk shows.

I only saw the distress flag.
These people also would not know anarchy if it bit them on the ass... and they would realize they hate anarchy when it did.
Basically, this shirt is for morons.

I'm always amazed at how many anarchists want free shit from the government.
