Got Snow?
Elisabeth found this email that was sent to her:
"Anyone can tell from the grimace and the gun that this is one snowman that won’t be making it into any fluffy Christmas song. But the full menace of the T-shirt is more clouded. On the bottom, it reads “Got Snow?’ – a harmless play on the famous milk campaign to some, a blatant reference to cocaine to many others. Still versions of the character are hot sellers at Street Stuff in Westfield Independence mall, said J.R. Holmes, a sales associate at the store. Buyers of all races and both sexes associate them with rap, not drugs, he said.Young Jeezy, a drug-dealer turned star rapper, popularized the angry image. His album Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard album charts this summer. In one of his songs, he raps, “Get it? Jeezy the Snowman/ I’m iced out, plus I got that snow, man.”Snow is slang for cocaine.The most common design features a simple snowman that looks like any other cartoon snowman apart from a glaring brow, Holmes said."

Yea, I don't think I'd wear one of those shirts. I'd wear my Uranus t-shirt again, but not that.
I saw a guy yesterday at Wallmart with it on. It was small and in the corner with a straight line smile and two eyes with a wad of cash. This seems so crazy.
Is this a NC thing?
No. That email with the picture that I posted was from Vermont I think.
