I'm too pretty to do homework...

My thoughts on JCPenney's unfortunate merchandising...

Believe it or not, the tagline next to the item to be purchased online said "Who has time for homework when there's a new Justin Bieber album out? She'll love this tee that's just as cute and sassy as she is."

She knows Justin Bieber! xD

@Strawbearie2000 How do you know!?

You misquoted the sweatshirt slightly, as there was no "my" before "homework" on it.

Clothing with an arrogant or self deprecating message is one thing. When the message involves forcing a sibling to engage in acts of plagiarism without their consent, it's essentially an endorsement of dishonorable conduct and fraud. To me it would be like seeing someone with a, "I'm too pretty to pay taxes, so I cheat on them. Thanks!" shirt.

I dont see how it in any way offensive. If they wanna see offensive clothing they should visit the "funny" section of my store innerdevil . co . uk

They will have a blast ahaha

[Strawbearie2000]

@Daisukiyo I was kidding. Because Justin Bieber was born in Canada. That's why I said that..

Longest description everrrr starting at 1:31 - 1:51 lol, also I'd totally buy that shirt... Even though I'm not a girl... pretty... or have a brother who could do my homework for me...

Hows this offensive? gawd this is the problem with our country, Too Many leaf eaters in this country!!!

I'd die before wearing that shirt. I consider myself to be intelligent and interested in furthering my education, so no matter how 'pretty' (which is so subjective in itself) I may be, I'd never feel that way. It sends a very bimbo message.

I think the most offensive tshirts that I've ever seen is one that says 'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels' which was a quote by model Kate Moss, and a baby shirt that says 'Excuse my nipple breath'. Urgh!
