A CANADIAN discount retailer called Zellers, a subsidiary of the Hudson's Bay Company, raised eyebrows when one of its customers in British Columbia complained that a children's Request brand t-shirt purchased from the store featuring a website design with the address, cute.com directly on the item, led her to a pornographic website on the Internet which she found offensive. Zellers pulled all of the t-shirts and has agreed to refund all customers who want to return them.
