From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David and Goliath is a clothing company from America, out of Clearwater, Florida. Primarily a clothing company, they also produce sandals with various designs, books, bags, and other accessories.

The company are notable for the slogans that they produce on some of their products, such as Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them. They produce this and similar shirts, with slogans such as "Boys are smelly", "Boys have cooties", and so on. Masculist-oriented groups claim that the shirts support anti-male sentiments. Others feel that they increase tension between the genders and might even lead to gender-based war. The company says that their shirts are meant only to be humorous.

In response to a campaign against the shirts, three retail chains that carried the clothing, K-Mart, Disney Store, and Nordstrom, have withdrawn the products from their shelves, however the products as of 2004 are still available from online merchants.

David and Goliath is run by Todd Goldman, who have been accused of stealing the artwork of both Roman Dirge's Lenore, the Cute Little Dead Girl, as well as the works of Shmorky, a comic artist and flash animator for Something Awful. [1]
