Resenting The Dumb Breeder Implication: Your response to a comment of a veteran who was offended by the breeders shirt: "Actually, we never stated that our Breeders design represented the "average" family or that it was a commentary on rednecks and we aren't responsible for anyone who happens to see themselves in our design and gets offended by it." Really? What I heard on P&T: "These are the people who shop at Wal-Mart." (A pretty broad generalization, Maybe not "average," per se, but still a generalization.) Then you go on to describe the rednecks on the breeders shirt, and lets not kid ourselves, they are obviously designed to look like stereotypical rednecks, i.e. Joe Bob Jim with the buck teeth and "typical" hat. You may have not used the exact words "average family," but the generalization in your context was pretty clear. Implying that people who shop there are dumb breeders? Issues aside, that was a pretty mean spirited thing to say... I am sure the show edited your words to their favor, but I don't see how what you said could have been said in any context and not be just as clear. Harsh.
