HOCKEY REFEREE TICKED OFF BY TACKY T-SHIRTS

POWAY, Calif. (Wireless Flash) -- Are tacky T-shirts and snotty bumper stickers turning America into a nation of rude citizens? A hockey referee in Poway, California, thinks so. 45-year-old Marc Moniz believes T-shirts silkscreened with X-rated slogans and bumper stickers containing naughty messages are contributing to a rise in rudeness. Now Moniz is fighting back by forming a group known as "The Gentlemen's Respect Club." Members of the group must pledge to respect others by not using filthy language, wearing offensive clothing or putting obscene bumper stickers on their cars. Moniz has also created his own line of T-shirts which feature two English dandies shaking hands in a polite manner.
