They're calling it a "girlcott." Some teenage girls are calling for a boycott of trendy retailer Abercrombie and Fitch over some racy T-shirts.


The shirts have slogans like "Who needs brains when you have these" or "I had a nightmare I was a brunette." The protest began in the Pittsburgh area when about two dozen girls demonstrated outside an Abercrombie's. Now, the protest is spreading.

Ohio State University student Elizabeth Ritter says the shirts are degrading and she wouldn't wear one. A statement from Abercrombie says the shirts are very popular with young women, their target market.

A couple of years ago an Abercrombie catalog featuring topless models caused such an uproar it was pulled.
