Punctuation Problem or Social Commentary

When I visit my sister in Philadelphia, I usually duck out in the morning to go get coffee.  To get to my favorite coffee place, I walk past a mini-fabric district, including this store, whose sign I just love.  Probably the owners don’t intend any disrespect to their Muslim customers,  but I love the idea of ordering a two-fer–it’s sort of like one of those demented SNL ads from back in the day: for one low price, a valence and a hijab; a burqa and drapes for the living room.  So economical, eh?

    Waaay funny! Stop in sometime and suggest they stock burqinis for the bride and chadors for the wedding party?

    What I like is that, apparently, if you buy an evening gown, they give you a bridesmaid.
