Retailers: Don't Be This Guy

Writer Sarah Kuhn brought this to our attention on Twitter: In hyping up Marvel's new Girls Rule t-shirt, Superhero Stuff's description matched the shirt's availability - "extremely limited." Check this out:

Can't decide which Marvel Super-heroine I wish to add to my fantasy harem first. Spiderwoman is DEFINITELY in there.  Black Widow...maybe; she's just a little too...used for me. HUZZAH!  Hellcat? Absolutely.  Scarlet Witch?  Maybe not.  She could unmake me if I forget to dry the dishes or something.  Invisible Woman?  YES!  It's the hot mom thing! And....Marvel Girl.  NOPE!  Too damn whiney, not enough character and she tends to die when things get rough!

The SHS ad also says the shirt is to be worn by "your girlfriend (or sister)." Male gaze, anybody? Ugh ugh ugh. The shirt isn't perfect - there's no XL option and it's only available in the "baby doll"-ish cut, but if you feel the need to make your girlfriend (or sister) wear your "fantasy harem," we suggest you buy it directly from Marvel.

EDIT: we encourage our listeners to contact SHS on Twitter and let them know this is not the way to market their merchandise.
