Pic: American clothing store releases a top that might offend some Irish people

This is an image of Ireland that we're not used to seeing.

JOE will never claim to be an expert on all aspects of world geography and socio-political history but we would like to think that we know enough to avoid making a complete and utter fool out of ourselves.

For example, a healthy interest in football from a young age means that we're very knowledgeable when it comes to knowing a variety of countries, capitals and flags.

See mam, we told you that watching TV for 10 hours each day would eventually pay off.

It's a shame that we can't say the same for the manufacturers/designers at American store Target, after they made a big socio-political error in their recent design.

We've already seen a similar gaffe with an I.R.A themed line of clothing but this might be worse.

Target did remove this product after their gaffe was was pointed out to them but it's still pretty unbelievable.
