OLD NAVY UPDATE: Public Reacts To T-Shirts Disparaging Artists With Parody Designs
As reported on BroadwayWorld, social media users angrily reacted yesterday to the designs of two shirts marketed for children and infants, being sold by the clothing company, Old Navy.
UPDATE: Click here for Old Navy's statement to BroadwayWorld, received shortly after the posting of this article.
Since yesterday, a link on Old Navy's website that previously connected to information about one of these shirts has been changed to provide information on a different item. BroadwayWorld has reached out to Old Navy for a statement and will report if one is received. In the meantime, social media users have been artistically expressing their concern by posting parody t-shirt designs on Old Navy's Facebook and Twitter pages.

#oldnavy encourages aspiring artists to be presidents instead; what about the president who wants to be an artist? pic.twitter.com/py6k6Cv7SA
