JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A not-so merry message on a Christmas T-shirt hit the shelves of a local store just in time for the holidays.The T-Shirt says, "Santa Claus Hates You," and it shows the usually jolly man giving a not-so jolly gesture.Channel 4's Jennifer Bauer went out Thursday to find out what shoppers thought about the shirt."Santa Claus flicking me off, man. What can you do?" said one shopper.The $28 shirt is on sale at Urban Outfitters."It doesn't bother me because I really feel people are entitled to freedom of their opinion. I do think it maybe a little harsh for a child," said another shopper."I don't like that shirt. I'm a child of the 60s, and I'm about as left as it gets, but I think that's in bad taste," a third shopper told Channel 4.While many shoppers seemed shocked by the T-shirt, some said they would buy the shirt as a gag gift.The Santa shirt was not the first item that drew criticism to Urban Outfitters. A few years ago, the shore faced boycotts after selling a game in their stores called Ghettopoly. The game was eventually pulled from stores.
