Talk:Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From WP:RfD:
- Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them → David and Goliath - the redirect makes no sense. --Fibonacci 6 July 2005 02:50 (UTC)
- Please read the article. "The company are notable for the slogans that they produce on some of their products, such as Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them." It's one of the slogans that they use. Dysprosia 6 July 2005 02:53 (UTC)
- Why doesn't Where do you want to go today redirect to Microsoft, then? --Fibonacci 7 July 2005 06:10 (UTC)
- Why shouldn't it? Anyway, you said the redirect makes no sense, I have tried to clarify the reasoning. Dysprosia 7 July 2005 08:14 (UTC)
- Okay, sorry for that. My point (in the second message, of course) is that we don't need those redirects, or do we? --Fibonacci 7 July 2005 23:35 (UTC)
- There is no need to delete it because Wikipedia ain gonna run out of space anytime soon. But, is anyone gonna type in that lengthy slogan? Fibonacci's probly right - we don't need it, but i don't really mind if you keep it. Supersaiyanplough|(talk) 09:44, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

David and Goliath is now a sensible redirect to Goliath, and the clothing company is listed at Goliath (disambiguation) as David and Goliath (clothing company). Any sensible person familiar with Wikipedia and with the ancient story would have done it that way in the first place. Anyone not familiar with the ancient story will not understand the name of the clothing company anyway. Michael Hardy 23:32, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- Please make sure you do not introduce double redirects if you want to do something similar in future. Dysprosia 11:48, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sexism an Importancy
I think such tone sounds sexist: "Boys are stupid throw rocks at them" And another thing - this company, trading these stuff is Worldwidely Unfamous and Obscure, it's unimportant. It's not Gucci!

[edit] Canada Customs
Didn't Canada customs ban the import of these t shirts to Canada for a period of time, arguing they violated Canada's hate speech laws ??? Does anyone have any information on that they can add ???
Since gender isn't one of the prohibited grounds under that law, I don't see how that could be correct. -- Spock 156.34.72.161 15:32, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
--there is no criminal law against hate speech directed towards a particular sex. HOwever, there are other laws on the books that prevent hatred of someone because of thier sex.
