Make CollegeHumor.com responsible for their racism!

The minds of CollegeHumor.com originated racist t-shirt: New Mexico, Cleaner than Old Mexico

The T-shirt the Anti-Defamation League has asked Urban Outfitters to stop selling is currently being sold by the ORIGINAL CREATOR and SELLER of the shirt: Bustedtees.com a website owned and operated by CollegeHumor.com and supplier to Urban Outfitters.

Over the last couple of weeks there has been major outcries to ban the selling of a racist shirt that was being sold buy Urban Outfitters. However there had been ZERO cries to hit the heart of this racist t-shirt, the creators and the ORIGINAL SELLER TO Urban Outfitters: Connected Ventures the official company name behind Bustedtees.com and most notably known as the makers of CollegeHumor.com; their most popular website. Connect Ventures / College Humor is the supplier to Urban Outfitters for this racist t-shirt and are currently still in business with Urban Outfitters, as well as STILL SELLING THE RACIST SHIRT on their website: Bustedtees.com!

While we applaud the actions of the Anti-Defamation League, we believe the true culprits of this act of ignorant racism have gotten away Scott free. The fact that this racism hasnt been linked to Connected Ventures and College Humor is incomprehensible. We urge all companies and businesses that currently have business relationships with Connected Ventures and College Humor STOP all such relationships IMMEADIATELY. By doing business with racists these companies are indirectly SUPPORTING RACISM. Such support of public racism needs be condemned by the public and we encourage all people to stop buying from such companies or supporting them in any way.
The following companies indirectly support racism until they stop their business relationships with Connected Ventures / College Humor:

The Digital Morality Council encourages all businesses mentioned above to cease any business relationships made by them or their controlled companies with Connected Ventures / College Humor. We feel by continuing any relationship with known profiteers of racism only encourages MORE racism. This is an act that needs to be stopped to show all businesses around the world that companies that stay in business with racists will loose business because of it.

We will continue the support the call and ourselves exercise the boycott of all products / services from any companies that do business with racists or profiteers of racism.

The Digital Morality Council (DMC) is a non-profit organization set up to monitor morality in business on the internet. We harbor the power of community organization to stop these digital injustices.
