Amazon selling “I wish Hillary had married OJ” t-shirts

Amazon.com is selling “I wish Hillary had married OJ” t-shirts.

The pun of the shirt is that OJ is thought by many to have to killed his wife. So the person is wishing that Hillary had been murdered.

On a t-shirt.

For sale at Amazon.

And it’s not just one t-shirt, there are six pages of them on Amazon — 91 different products, total, and by a number of different vendors.

And they’re being sold via Amazon Prime, which I would think means someone at Amazon actually approved

I googled for the phrase and the top three results were Amazon listings. All three led to "Page not Found" at Amazon!

When I searched for the phrase in Amazon's search box I got 0 results.

Now it is showing up for items at Cafepress and other places.

But yes, if it breaks their rules, they can refuse. It's a matter of it being seen by the right person. Most of the process is pretty automated. Oh, and as a semantic stickler, I'll mention, it's not a pun.

I haven't bought from them in years. And I was one of their earliest and most devoted fans. They treat their workers horribly -- not just their office workers but their warehouse workers, too.
