Sales of Muslin Apparel Plummet
Chicago, OOP 10/29/19

Recent news reports have caused the sales of clothing made of Muslin to drop to the vanishing point across the United States. Clothing sellers are alarmed that this decrease in sales and blame a spelling error on online websites for the disaster. They point to news stories and postings to a wide range of right-leaning websites about "Muslin Garb." Sandra Lovegood, spokesperson for the Muslin Clothing Association of America, said, "I wish people would learn to, like, spell and stuff. This is bad, and we don't know what to do. We're afraid that, like, linsey-woolsey is next to disappear from the market. We're trying to, like, get the word out, but people keep making the same, like, mistake, you know."

The future for Muslin looks bleak, however, with Muslin futures uncertain. More, as details come in, on our website:

16. Well, you know, public relations folks seem to get younger
every year. But, don't tell anyone: (Sandra's 37, but she's always looked young. I think she's affecting that Valley Girl thing.)

It's just a pity that such a nice fabric is ruined by rumor and innuendo. Don't you agree.

Bring Muslin Back To America!

End Muslin Bashing Now!

It's a new cause...
