‘Knock off’ Johnny

@ Gone Hollywood | Friday, June 9, 2006

Apparently making zillions of dollars can’t buy high end retail, and the sad thing is, it was only a T-shirt?

JOHNNY Depp, who’s part Cherokee, has upset some of his very own tribe members by wearing what appears to be a cheap knockoff of the popular “Homeland Security” T-shirt created by Cherokee designer Colleen Lloyd, who donates proceeds to Native American charities.

The shirt shows Geronimo and three other braves with the caption: “Fighting terrorism since 1492.”

When Miss Lloyd found out about this she blamed “white red necks” for the bootlegging and swore up and down that Depp didn’t realize it was a fake.

COME ON, of course he knew it was a fake! He saw it and bought it. It’s just like when a girl sees a Kiosk in an Iowa mall that have rip of designer hand bags, they see them and buy them because the real thing isn’t staring them in the eye!

UPDATE: Trikc asks, “Is Nothing Sacred?”

James has a totally-not-fun post about the politics of the t-shirt, barely mentioning Johnny Depp at all, at OTB.
