A t-shirt with offensive writing has been made viral by Walmart by some customers who think it is. A Twitter user also posted a photo of the blouse.
The shirt featured a large RE, with the other side featuring the words ‘cycle’, ‘use’, ‘new’, and ‘think’. As it turns out, despite the uber-positive message put up on the teeshirt, it was observed that he had inadvertently spelled out quite a rude word.
While a Walmart representative said: “This was not intentional, and the t-shirt has been removed. For context, this item was only available in Canada.”
This offensive t-shirt was sold in Canada for $5- and is part of the George fashion label owned by the supermarket chain since 1999. The brand has been a huge success even in the United Kingdom, where it is stocked at various ASDA supermarket stores – but is rarely seen in North America.
The Twitter user who initially reported it mentioned, “I need this shirt before Walmart realized what they have done. Find the hidden word.” The tweet has already received over 1.3 million views, and close to 14,000 likes.
Thousands of Twitter users responded to the original post. One commenter wrote, “I hope this is real. Driving to Walmart now.” Another commenter wrote, “Oh. Oh, dear.” Some people couldn’t understand the rude word, so the original poster asked them to “read down.”
