Merry Christmas, Don Cherry — you’ve made 10,000 Pinkos happy!

Since Mr. Cherry decided to bad-mouth Torontonians who do not share his particular world-view, Spacing has gone on to sell 10,000 Pinko buttons and magnets. We’ve had individual orders from every province in Canada, while 22 stores across Toronto have been placing orders with us day after day. And if you frequent Facebook or Twitter you’ll that hundreds of people have taken our Pinko graphic and used it as an avatar.

PLEASE NOTE: any items purchased from Spacing’s e-store starting today will not arrive in time for Christmas.

  2. What! No store in a plaza near Rob Ford’s home on Royal York Road has those Pinko buttons or magnets?

  3. We need distribution outside of TO.  This is not a TO-only issue.  There are a lot of pinkos in the 905 area, both bike-riding and left-wing.  Great job!

  4. I love the pinko buttons!  And to have my say on the whole situation, I made a video incorporating the Christmas season, Don Cherry and his take on pinkos, and voila – a special parody and Christmas message from the pinko hater!

  5. Love the buttons, but was told by Sweet Pete’s staff that they are being sold for $3.60. I find that a little steep.

  6. I want a “Bag-Carrying Pinko” badge.
