For the Biblical story of David and Goliath, see Goliath.
David and Goliath are a clothing company from America, out of Clearwater, Florida. Primarily a clothing company, they also produce sandals with various designs, books, bags, and other accessories.
The company are notable for the slogans that they produce on some of their products, such as Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them. They produce this and similar shirts, with slogans such as "Boys are smelly", "Boys have cooties", and so on. Masculist-oriented groups claim that the shirts support anti-male sentiments. Others feel that they increase tension between the two genders and might even lead to gender-based violence. The company says that their shirts are meant only to be humorous.
In response to a campaign against the shirts, three retail chains that carried the clothing, Bon-Macy's, Tilly's, and Claire's, have withdrawn the products from their shelves, however the products as of 2004 are still available from online merchants.
