The Onion

Dear Friends:

Good news! Some of you may remember my email of August 27 (and if not see below) concerning The Onion's T-shirt with the offensive slogan, "My Friend Went to Thailand and All I Got Was This Lousy Kidnapped Prostitute." Well, the good news is that the T-shirt has been removed from The Onion's on-line store!!! See: http://store.theonion.com/my-friend-went-to-thailand-and-all-i-got-was-this-lousy-prostitute-new-p-1027.html

Let's take a moment and celebrate this victory over those who mock abuse and exploitation! It was your calls and emails that made the difference! This just goes to show that making our voices heard can bring about change.

Now, you might want to take a few minutes and call or write them with a thank you. Call 1-800-280-1791(email details are below).

Abolition!

Lisa
(P.S. You might periodically check their website to make sure the T-shirt does not reappear later.)
