JC Penny Pulls “Sassy” Tee for Tween Girls<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the women-focused entertainment blog, The Frisky<\/a>, posted a brief piece calling out retailer JC Penny on a shirt targeting young girls. The shirt was printed with the statement, “I\u2019m too pretty to do homework, so my brother has to do it for me.” Jessica Wakeman, the writer at The Frisky responsible for the post, expressed her disdain for the poor message being communicated by the shirt. Only hours later–after the post had been picked up by dozens of other news sites–JC Penny emailed a formal apology to The Frisky and notified the author that the t-shirt was being pulled from their stores and website immediately. You can read the original post here: Kill Me Now, Please: JC Penney\u2019s \u201cI\u2019m Too Pretty To Do Homework\u201d T-Shirt For Girls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once there, the employees of the shop were able to identify the shirts and where the gentlemen worked.
