There were shirts that said " Keep Calm and Rape On" on Amazon. on Saturday people on twitter were very angry about this and were tweeting angry things. The company that makes them Solid Gold Bomb was informed about all this anger and how that slogan was promoting rape and violence. They removed and they also removed another one that said "Keep Calm and Hit Her".They say all their slogans are made by computers they don't necessarily create them. They also apologized for this. People on Twitter were saying things like the statistics on how many people get raped and when will companies take responsibly for what they make and promote to the world that is bad influentially. The shirts never got printed they get printed as they are order. They should look over what the computer is making more carefully so things like this don't happen.
