Controversial Sweatshirts Pulled from Racks



RACCOON ALLEY - A batch of inflammatory sweatshirts were confiscated from several area stores late Wednesday afternoon. The shirts, which include a picture of recently-deceased Aaron Crugg and the phrase "Crugg is Dead!" underneath the photo, were selling for $95 retail. Zatley Schirntz, owner of the high-end clothing store Zat's Schirts, said the Crugg sweatshirt was his store's highest selling item during the month of January.

"People like to wear shirts with pictures of dead people and exclamatory phrases celebrating their death," Schirntz said. "I have a responsibility to provide the people with death shirts."

Schirntz then produced several other top-selling shirts, including the "Wesley Finally Died" turtlenecks and "Thankfully, we won't have to deal with Maryanne Anymore" tank tops.
