Judging from the reaction to the story in the Deseret News’s comment section, Mormons overwhelmingly support Judy Cox in her one-woman fight to clean University Mall in Orem of filth. According to the story:
SALT LAKE CITY — A mother upset about "indecent" T-shirts on display at a Utah mall found a quick if not especially convenient way to remove them: She bought every last one.
Judy Cox and her 18-year-old son were shopping Saturday at the University Mall in Orem, about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City, when she saw the shirts in the window of a PacSun store.
The shirts featured pictures of scantily dressed models in provocative poses.
Cox said she complained about the window display to a store manager and was told the T-shirts couldn't be taken down without approval from the corporate office. She then bought all 19 T-shirts in stock, for a total of $567. She says she plans to return them later, toward the end of the chain store's 60-day return period.
The shirts cost about $28 each on the website for PacSun, which sells beach clothes for teenagers and young adults.
"These shirts clearly cross a boundary that is continually being pushed on our children in images on the Internet, television and when our families shop in the mall," Cox said in an email to The Associated Press. She said she plans to meet with Orem's city attorney Tuesday to discuss whether the images on the T-shirts violate city code.

It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.
This woman has done more to promote Pac-Sun's so called provocative T-shirts than a full blown $1,000,000 advertising campaign. Media outlets across the country and the world have picked up this story…of the Crazy Mormon Mother buying up every shirt (with the intent to return them to the store within the stores 60 day return policy)
So what the point of her activism? Other than making these t-shirts the most Must Have item on Every American boys wish list…it’s all for naught. But the bottom line is she just couldn’t keep her F***ing mouth shut…she needed /wanted the attention and to have the world know that Utah has crazy Mormon mothers lurking in the malls.
If her motivation was what she claimed she would have made her purchase and said nothing…but no…she wanted the adulation of her Mormon peers to know what a F***ing crazy Nazi Mormon she really was…
Oh I can see the weeping a wailing of Mormon mothers cheering her on…

The Pac Sun execs will be throwing a big party, bonuses are going out and the stock price ticking up. How many lucky execs will be promoted due to their brilliant (and free) marketing strategy?
Marketing teams across America will be rolling out new Mormon "inappropiate" clothing lines in hopes of repeat success. Maybe Orem will be the new Milan, where outrageous fashion is first shunned by puritannical Mormons drugged out on prescription pills, to be later snapped up by voracious buyers once it has the disapproval of prudish Mormon moms?
I might be in the new epicenter of the fashion industry. I am so proud.

Just think of all the stroking and praise she's getting from the Relief Society harpies. I'm sure she'll be addressing the next meeting of the local Eagle Forum and get to sob out pious BS about this at the next F & T.

Yep. Watch out for the new trend in T-shirts. She just made them popular world wide.
On a side note, the son of Judy Cox discovered the stack of T-shirts in the house and moved them into the bathroom and locked the door.
