Some Call It Stalking. I Call It Love T-Shirt Banned at WalMart
Domestic violence group lobbied Walmart to pull an offensive t-shirt from their shelves and Walmart pulled the t-shirt. The t-shirt that was considered offensive to some says “Some Call It Stalking. I Call it Love”. The organization complained as well as someone who was a victim of a stalker. No details were available on the company that manufactured the t-shirts or how many t-shirts were banned/remove nationwide at Walmart.
The reason this shirt is an issue for people is because stalking is a crime and many murder victims are first stalked. To some the shirt just isn’t funny. Walmart has pulled t-shirts in the past including a skull and crossbones t-shirt that looked too close to a NAZI SS WW II emblem.
You can still find the “Some Call it Stalking. I Call it Love” T-shirt at Cafepress.com

People need to learn how to take a joke. Its just pathetic. I almost bought the shirt (but it had pink in it & i don’t wear pink) & I’ve been stalked before twice & I’m only 16 I know it’s no laughing matter it’s terrifying to be stalked everyday I wonder is that person following me if I’m driving & the car behing me makes 2 of the same turns I instantly wonder if they are gonna follow me. The 1st time I was stalked it turned out the guy was on trial for attempted rape & he fled to Mexico so who knows if he’s back now or not. The last time it was by some 16 year old boy but it was still scary coz u never know wats gonna happen. I really think the shirts funny & that ppl have just taken a joke waaaaay to seriously! I’m currently looking to buy one that don’t have pink on it but haven’t found one i liked yet.
Nice.. that you give out the website for someone to buy this shirt, when it’s already BEEN BANNED! maybe this site should think about why this particular shirt was banned..
