Todd Harris Goldman is an American entrepreneur/artist. He is the founder of, "David and Goliath," a merchandise company which produces clothing, posters and other merchandise featuring a variety of slogans. According to the Wall Street Journal, the sales volume of "David and Goliath" was US$ 90 million in 2004.
Goldman is possibly best known for his line of "boy-bashing" slogans, most notably, "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them!," which is featured on t-shirts, bumper stickers, and other accessories sold by "David and Goliath". In 2005 he authored a book of the same name (ISBN 0-7611-3593-6) which was also translated into Russian.
Goldman has been the target of criticism for his marketing and slogans. In 2004, Los Angeles based radio host and men's rights activist Glenn Sacks initiated a campaign against the "Boys are Stupid..." T-shirts claiming that they were part of a general societal mood that stigmatized and victimized boys. The campaign led to the line of shirts being pulled from several thousand retailers across the United States in 2005.
Goldman was named as number 97 on Bernard Goldberg's 2005 list of 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America. Goldberg also criticized Goldman's slogans for being part of a current boy-bashing craze, in which the makers of related products don't realize (or don't care) that young men have higher rates of depression and suicide than young girls in America. Goldman responded to the criticism, stating that he "hopes to be ranked higher next year."
