Tiki torch company: We have nothing to do with white nationalism

Tiki Brand is distancing itself from white nationalists who used tiki torches in a protest march in Charlottesville, Virginia.

"Tiki Brand is not associated in any way with the events that took place in Charlottesville and are deeply saddened and disappointed," the company said in a statement Monday. "We do not support their message or the use of our products in this way."

The white nationalists marched at the University of Virginia on Friday to protest the removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. On Saturday, white nationalists clashed with counter-protesters, and a woman was killed when a car plowed into a crowd.

And have penalties up there with ripping tags off mattresses.

Or two sets of instructions. One for normal use. Another set for neo-nazi gatherings with the instructions to include lighting it and sticking it up your own ass.
