Zellers pulls "egg these ->-bleeped-<-s" shirts from stores

http://www.xtra.ca/blog/national/post/2010/09/16/Zellers-pulls-egg-these-->-bleeped-<-s-shirt-from-stores.aspx

Zellers has removed a T-shirt from its stores across Canada after receiving complaints that it is "obscene" and hateful towards trans people.

The children's shirt features two paragraphs of small text, which appear to tell a "story" about trouble-making young friends. An excerpt:

"Me and Terry would see the ->-bleeped-<-s on Santa Monica and this one time... [we were] like 'Yo, let's get 'em. Let's drive-by egg these ->-bleeped-<-s.'"
