Does this come across as rather disgusting, disrespectful and unthoughtful?

It is distasteful. Religious beliefs are the cause of the attacks.

I didn't know this until after my OP, it just seems very strange that they used the same slogan as for the Paris attacks!


yeah it would seem kinda gross, exploiting a tragedy for fashion statement, thankfully they made these shirts ages ago :smile:

Welcome to capitalism. You sought something to buy, you found it.

The market is there to serve your need.

What is the problem?

I was looking for a picture of those "Pray for Paris" Eiffel Towers and the first thing I saw under Web searches was a website dedicated to the sale of "Pray for Paris" t-shirts and jumpers...


Now maybe I'm being a little bit over-sensitive, but I just find it rather disrespectful to use such an even to sell products...

http://www.prayforparis.com/ (website)

Does anyone feel the same way?


Erm this is a bad coincidence the @prayforparis is a company that has been around for a few years, they actually tweeted that due to the devastating events that they won't be trading for the near future its an unfortunate misunderstanding I think ;-)

That's fair enough.

I still don't know why they use the slogan Pray for Paris though :s-smilie:

That's what I thought too as it isn't a typical slogan you put on a product but yes, it must be a coincidence.


Surreal as ****.
