Urban Outfitters' (Nasdaq: URBN) fourth-quarter sales release gave me a slight case of deja vu, since the hip retailer reported its holiday sales last month.
Urban Outfitters' sales for the year increased 12% to $1.22 billion, and total comps for the year decreased by 6%, compared with an 11% increase the year before.

 Evil: Urban Outfitters Rips Designer's Cupcake T-Shirt - Consumerist
(A notion we entirely support, being given to a particular love for the tiny cakes.) Apparently Urban Outfitters asked Johnny Cupcakes for a few samples of his t-shirts to be considered for placement in their stores, something that would have certainly had great financial reward for both companies.
Sadly, Urban Outfitters chose not to carry Johnny Cupcake's products—or he chose not to go with them for some reason; we're not sure—and never returned his samples.
Granted, the whole 'dropping a bomb of x' concept isn't really new, but if Urban Outfitters solicited t-shirts from a designer, they shouldn't be getting anywhere near the same concept if they choose not to license the artist's work.
