I wonder if counterfeit True Religion clothes would be considered heretical clothes? Though in this case heretical clothes instead of being tortured by putting them on the rack will be taken off the rack.

Too bad we can’t shut down establishments that try to sell counterfeit True Religion from pulpits, classrooms, and Diocesan newspapers.
This is hilarious, and just goes to show that the even the Curt Jester can be beaten in puns by reality. As usual I have a GKC comment:
It is one of the journalist’s tragedies that whenever he introduces a thing purely as an impossibility, somebody writes to say that it really occurred. If I use a foolish metaphor at random I generally receive two letters – one complaining that the thing is too violent and absurd, the other saying that it happened to the writer’s aunt.

It reminds me of the joke we used to tell in college about the Temptations’ gospel album – they renamed themselves the Near Occasions.
