Gap's website does, however, feature a girls' T-shirt emblazoned with the word "genius," which might have been a nice addition in Gap's mailer. (Mashablehas reached out to Gap for comment.)
It didn't end there, however.
There was a slight problem with Gap's "little scholar" T-shirt. Albert Einstein's name had been misspelled.
