SATANIC SHIRT OUTRAGE

-

POPULAR clothing retailers Cotton On and Jay Jays have been forced to pull products that promoted “satanic ritual abuse” following a barrage of criticism.

The products – including two T-shirts at Jay Jays and a poster at Cotton On brand Typo – appeared to display satanic rituals.

One shirt featured a picture of a young girl holding a knife about to stab a boy laying down with the text “Let’s Sacrifice

Toby”, while the other portrayed a satanic ritual.

The material, which critics claim attempted to “normalise horrific crimes against children”, has prompted a state government MP to call for more action to be taken to scrutinise consumer goods. Victorian state MP Stuart Grimley said “additional checks and balances” needed to be implemente­d to ensure that offensive and distastefu­l material didn’t make it to the website.
