Honestly, this is dystopia at its worst – but they know us homos too well. You slap Luigi’s face on something – even the most basic shirt I’d rather burn than wear – and you betcha, we’re gonna click that ad hunnie! We wanna see if he’s wearing PANTS!
Fast-fashion giant Shein has launched an investigation after an image of Luigi Mangione – accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York last year – was used to model a shirt.
An image with his likeness, which appeared to show him wearing a white, short-sleeved shirt, appeared on the fast-fashion website until its removal.
It is thought the product he appeared to be modelling was on sale for just under $10 (£7.50).
A spokesperson from Shein told BBC News: “The image in question was provided by a third-party vendor and was removed immediately upon discovery.
“We have stringent standards for all listings on our platform”, they said.
“We are conducting a thorough investigation, strengthening our monitoring processes, and will take appropriate action against the vendor in line with our policies.”
It is not known for how long the image was used, or who was selling it on the Chinese company’s website.
We think SHEIN should do the right thing and donate to Luigi’s legal fund to help FREE LUIGI. Then, who knows… maybe they can afford the real thing!
He murdered someone. Someone’s husband. Someone’s father. What’s wrong with you.
