I stopped by walmart after work today to pick up a coupe of things, and just inside the store is the men’s clothing. Facing the aisle was a t-shirt with the text: “Your mom is in college”
Can anyone explain this to me? Is this intended to be flashed at infants or other small children who have mothers finishing college degrees? Is this intended to be flashed at high school students whose mom’s have gone back to college so they can have a career outside the home? Is this just a really, really bad insult reflecting the current trend in mainstream America to devalue education and promote ignorance?? Anyone???
