Well I wrote to these guys about getting some wartorn shirts printed the other day..and heres what they wrote back:
"Leigh,
Thank you for interest in screen printing from Cheaper T-Shirts. We are the Web's best value in custom screen printed apparel. I wanted to let you know after looking over your website that we will most likely be unable to print shirts for your business. We are a Christian business and your artwork would be an obvious violation of our conscience. Thank you and good luck on your printing project."
