Re: Terrible Towel
Regardless of what you or I say anything on Wikipedia must be verifialbe from reliable sources. Anything that is not, such as the information that you altered, should be and was reverted. I wrote 99% of that article and everything that I wrote in it can be verified to the sources that are cited. If it is incorrect then perhaps you could provide an alternate source than the one in the article, until then the info should remain that is verifiable. Thanks.  black ngold29  05:12, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I can't control if the info is correct, when it comes to WP it doesn't matter, but verifiability does. Sure it's stupid, but that's the way official WP policy is in this case. Pictures are not reliable thanks to Photoshop, etc. I will look for a different source that will hopefully be more accurate if I can. My school has a database that can search newspaper articles going back quite a few years, perhaps something will be in there.  black ngold29  05:50, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

I tried looking also .... not much out there. I did find an eBay listing an original advertisement of Gimbel's Department Store advertising the Terrible Towel merchandise. http://cgi.ebay.com/STEELERS-MYRON-COPE-FRAMED-TERRIBLE-TOWEL-AD-PRINT_W0QQitemZ370138526965QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090102?IMSfp=TL090102116003r13010

Here is my original towel, by the way:
