I was just going through my emails and I found an email from Cafepress regarding something I was selling in my store.

Now, maybe I'm just very ignorant, but I don't see what is wrong with it. It is just something that I came up with on the spare of the moment, and I don't see why I can't sell it. But like I said before, I could just be very ignorant of the problem.
If anyone else knows, could you please enlighten me? I'm confused and upset by it.
Well, I googled it and it's nnnnnot a very original catchphrase/slogan/whateverit'scalled. http://www.bathroomtshirts.com/ProductI ... 20GIRLS_RK Maybe they thought you nicked it.
