Walking dead t-shirt pulled from stores

-

LONDON: Internatio­nal clothing retailer Primark has pulled a “Walking Dead” T-shirt from their stores after one shopper called out the phrase’s offensive origins. The shirt, which featured a bloodied baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire with the words “Eeny Meeny Miny Moe,” refers to the fictional character Negan from the cult zombie TV show, who utters the children’s rhyme before attacking his victims with his bat, Lucille. Its original words included the N-word. “We were shocked when we came face to face with a new T-shirt with a racially explicit graphic and text,” explained the Methodist minister.
