Paper says T-shirt offends Cubs' Fukudome
Kosuke Fukudome is among those offended by a T-shirt that mocks the new Cub outfielder's Japanese heritage, the Chicago Sun-Times says.
The T-shirt is the hottest-selling item at a souvenir stand near Wrigley Field that sells unlicensed Cubs-related merchandise, reports the Sun-Times' Gordon Wittenmyer.
Wittenmyer's description: "On the front of the shirt is the traditional Cubs cartoon bear face but with slanted eyes and wearing oversized Harry Caray-style glasses. It's accompanied by the words ''Horry Kow,'' scrawled in cartoonish ''Japanese'' script. Fukudome's name and number are on the back."
How on earth did they think this was going to go over?

That's one of the best t-shirts I've seen in a while. Very funny, yet quite offensive.

That site is hilarious. The adult's only section (no nudity) is ridiculous.
