Old Navy Slams Artists on Controversial New T-Shirt
Old Navy is in trouble for a new line of controversial apparel.
The company is facing the ire of critics around the Internet after a Twitter user shared an image of a children’s T-Shirt that has an unusual message scrawled across the front.
The article of clothing displays the slogan “Young Aspiring Artist,” but the word “Artist” has been crossed out and replaced with the words “Astronaut” or “President.”
Many are wondering why Old Navy has chosen to encourage kids to dream about the latter occupation at the expense of the former occupation.
We’re all for empowering young men and women. But is it not empowering to be an artist?
And, Earth to Old Navy… but did an artist not design these T-Shirts?!?
“Seen these new @OldNavy tops? I wonder if they realize that without artists, their company doesn’t, y’know…exist,” wrote one Twitter user who shared this same thought.
Another simply wrote: “Dear @OldNavy, we need aspiring Presidents, Astronauts AND Artists.”
Is this as of that infamous American Apparel vagina shirt?
Or that blood-covered Kent State sweatshirt?
Probably not. It’s really just weird more than anything else. It’s not funny or creative or inspiring. It’s just… weird.
Compare this controversial piece of clothing with many that have come before it now:

10 Highest-Earning Female Artists in 2015
It has to be Taylor Swift, right?
There"s no way any other artist earned more money in 2015, right?
Well… maybe. Courtesy of Forbes, here is a look at the 10 highest-earning women in music over the past calendar year, in reverse order.
Ready to see who sits on top? The answer may surprise you…
10. Rihanna: $ 26 million
She didn’t release an album and she only played nine live events. So it’s actually impressive she even cracked the Top 10.
9. Mariah Carey: $ 27 million
This is all about Mariah Carey’s Las Vegas residency. She’ll be doing it again in 2016, so we might as well put her on next year’s list as well.
8. Miranda Lambert: $ 28.5 million
Lambert made money off partnerships with Red55 Wine, Pink Pistol and Dixie Darlin, along with her own line of clothing and pet accessories.
7. Jennifer Lopez: $ 28.5 million
She only played five shows, but she raked it in as judge on American Idol and also acted in The Boy Next Door.
6. Britney Spears: $ 31 million
he collaborated with Iggy Azalea, but this figure almost entirely stems from her Las Vegas residency. Britney also cashes in on The Intimate Britney Spears, a lingerie line that sells around the world.
5. Beyonce
Endorsement deals with Pepsi, L’Oréal and her own Heat fragrance padded Beyonce’s bank account this year. She also toured with husband Jay Z.
