Making such a purchase is one thing. Her money, her choice on how to spend it.

Making a purchase with intent to return is a different matter. If they were promotional items, the store could decline the return.

Hope she gets stuck with them.

She said she plans to return all the shirts in 59 days (policy is they have to be returned in 60 days) to make a statement.

Even if she gets all her money back from the store (which may or may not happen), think of all the money PacSun is going to make off of the media coverage.

Also, buy purchasing 600 dollars worth of shirts and keeping them for 59 days, she just gave PacSun Corporation a 600 dollar interest free loan for 60 days, which they can invest and make a small profit.

Way to stick it to PacSun Ms. Cox! I'm sure they will make a handsome profit off of your protest.

and when she gets $600 worth of store credit, I bets she's going to be so happy that she decided to take that stance.

[I also understand that the store can choose to apply a 10% restocking fee in some states]

In reality though, I reckon the advertising she has given the brand would be worth 100 times the cost of the items.... and the next stock is going to fly off the shelves

Streisand would be proud of her

That's really what's annoying. I mean its one thing to go on a holier than thou crusade on something.

But isn't it immoral to make a purchase with the intent of returning them?

What does she think the store is going to do when she returns all the shirts anyway?

"Oh hey look we have all these shirts and the displays are empty..."

Now that she bought the shirts they will just restock them because they are 'popular'. When she returns them she will probably just get store credit. I can't imagine they will give her cash or a refund on her stunt.

I would love it if the store got LIVE models, mimicing the ones on the shirts to display them? Complete with "Buttocks" not being covered with an opaque covering.

Proudly bought two today. Gorgeous T's. When I walked in and said I wanted to buy them for my husband, the employees laughed (in this PacSun, also in Utah). Turns out the shirts have been selling like no tomorrow...since crazy lady hit the media. I guess I'll have to wear the shirts to bed though, because my husband said that he was too old to wear them and would "look like a creeper". He might have a point. ;)

I suggested my son wear one to YM's tonight. He declined with a laugh. Bummer.

BTW...both the Orem store and the Logan store have had complaints (that the employees knew of). Their store? Zero complaints. Just people staring at the display, whispering, and coming in to buy them.

So what you are saying is that you have something hot and sexy to wear to bed for your husband now?

Lol! Thanks for making me laugh! :D I hope I've got a little bit better than a couple sexy T's for him...but that said, they aren't bad for those lazy, cozy nights. Better than flannel, I'd say. For sure!

BTW...I'm trying to kick to Coke habit. Yum! I love the stuff!

You go girl! Stupid is as stupid does.

Nothing like free effective advertising!

When she tries to return the shirts, the store does not have to accept them.

"After consulting with the City attorney, and the display promotion is over, I will return the t-shirts to the store. Hopefully the message will be clear that this is not acceptable for public display in our communities."

Cox said she hoped her efforts would inspire others to speak up"

Since they know who she is...hopefully they won't let her return those items

This link has a picture of her...She looks like June Cleaver'smother

Hey, 1973 called. They want their mall back!

I'm from Orem and I know who that lady is! TBM and a busybody. These silly crusades just sell more shirts. There's always someone busy in Utah County trying to make it like Saudi Arabia. I really knew Utah was oppressive when I moved to Kentucky and found even that much less so.

We very likely have mutual acquaintances, as I know this lady too from my childhood ward...

you should print off this wiki page and leave it in a hymnbok she's likely to use

As this news report states, she was there with her 19 year old son, makes you wonder

PacSun needs to send $15,000.00 worth of those shirts to that store and keep them on display. Sounds like the marketing scheme is working.

(Muuuuaaaahahahahahahahaaaaa) (Stupid Self-Righteous Mormon Bitch!!!)

Read the story on Fark, which means it will probably be on all the pop media sights by tomorrow. It took the comment section all of ten seconds to put two and two together, and realize this was a crazy Mormon woman.

I also read this on Fark. Love reading the comments.

me too. It's not often you will find a subject on fark where every comment agrees.........but she's managed it

What a stupid bitch! She doesn't even know what pornography actually is! And those t-shirts are not offensive at all.

Yah...but like, her 19 year-old son isn't on a mission so, like...I'd blame it on porn. She's, like, saving all our boys and husbands and single handedly doing some major humanitarian work here! I mean, like seriously...SHOULDERS everywhere on these shirts! And ummmm...underwear. And NOT the good kind that Jesus likes.

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to her face hovering over you. It's a nightmare!! Worse than Freddie! :E

This is why aliens won't talk to us..

I am sure this mother wanted her 5 minutes of fame and the bragging rights that came with it. She can talk it up in RS this week. Even make it an object lesson, ready for.the 2015 lesson manuals next yr. Honestly, I feel bad for her husband. That mama is way too uptight and that leaves him in the cold.....

Oh god.
Look at her picture.
Those pinched lips and the anal-retentive expression.
Bet she hasn't had a good orgasm in years, if ever.

Wait is her last name really Cox?

another thing if I dont have to drive to a neigboring state to get it it aint that bad

The thing is that story is now trending on Facebook, and some of the comments there are hilarious. I wouldn't be surprised if PacSun's page gets a ton of new "likes" because of this Utah nut.

been trying to find this rich TBM lady with money to burn on face book no luck so far. she proberly just jelous cuz she is too fat and her magic underwear shows when she goes to the beach. these clothes are for people who go to beach or stay outdoors a lot Not for fat TBM's who are so rich to this. I wonder who earned her $600.00 her?

What a moron....

My 10 year old and I were watching the news, and heard about what she did.My ten year old looked at me and said "Mom why did she not take the money and give it to people who need help, instead of buying something that made her mad?" I have a pretty smart kid, and he has a big hart. So glad the question had nothing to do about what is pornography, I am sure it will come up though.
