Urban Outfitters's sneaky conservative propaganda stunt markets dishonesty as irony -- again
By Mary Elizabeth Williams

Urban Outfitters has a reputation for selling edgy cool to urban hipsters. But the company was actually founded by Richard Hayne, a deep-pocketed Rick Santorum supporter. That makes the company’s latest line of ironic T’s — edgy, cool, conservative shirts backing Mitt Romney — especially insidious.

What’s your pleasure, young person who lives in a Mormon Williamsburg of the mind? Mitt, dolled up like a member of KISS? A subtle picture of an oven mitt, and the word ROMNEY? A Hammer-pantsed “2 Legit 2 Mitt” Romney — which, if you think about it for half a second, doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. And though I don’t believe in victim blaming, I will warn you that if you decide to go walking down the street in a distressed, elephant-logoed “Mitt Is the Shit” shirt, you will have no one to blame but yourself for the inevitable butt-trouncing you receive. Or maybe you’re more the “Ron Paul: American Badass” or “Ron Paul & Drugs & Rock & Roll” type. Because what is more badass than a guy who supports deregulating marijuana but not “so-called family planning
