As reported on BroadwayWorld, social media users angrily reacted yesterday to the designs of two shirts marketed for children and infants, being sold by the clothing company, Old Navy.
UPDATE: Click here for Old Navy's statement to BroadwayWorld, received shortly after the posting of this article.
Since yesterday, a link on Old Navy's website that previously connected to information about one of these shirts has been changed to provide information on a different item. BroadwayWorld has reached out to Old Navy for a statement and will report if one is received. In the meantime, social media users have been artistically expressing their concern by posting parody t-shirt designs on Old Navy's Facebook and Twitter pages.

#oldnavy encourages aspiring artists to be presidents instead; what about the president who wants to be an artist? pic.twitter.com/py6k6Cv7SA
