It seems everyone involved in this is American or Anglosaxon at worse. I don't think anyone in Europe would be so concerned about a tacky shirt because it had non-naked women on it.
Perhaps the Poles. Or not, because they are too excited about "cannot into space"

I think at this point in time people think the word "gate" is a synonym for scandal.
That makes me sad.

I find a general rule of thumb is that if it has "-gate" on it, it's probably not a scandal worth paying much attention to.

Heck, lots of things referred to as "scandals" these days hardly qualify.
