I got a forward from my mom recently discussing Tommy Hilfiger and his appearance on Oprah when she asked him to leave the show because of racist remarks he had made. It was an e-mail urging people to boycott all things Tommy. Did this really happen? When? Ten years ago or last month?? My mama isn't on the cutting edge but her heart was in it!!
I remember when this rumor went around quite a few years ago. It's false. Here's a good site that researches Urban Legends and how they came to be, circulated, etc.
