Awful T-Shirts

I saw a guy wearing one of these last night...

What offends me more than its crudity is that there's no joke there. Of course a blow job is better than no job, that's just plain logical. I half expected the back to read "And intercourse is better than having your hand chewed off by a wheat thresher".

So, what T's do you want to give the FO to?

"Funny" T-shirts are only funny when you first read them. After that they're just an embarrasment.

You're right, David. These people need to be told. 'Amusing' t-shirts are a personal bugbear of mine. Saw this recently:

Yeah, let's all wear plain stuff or shirts with a jumper over the top.

I don't find either of those t-shirts amusing btw, but who cares if someone wants to wear it?

Jesus cares.

He may well do, but what does he wear? A dress and some sandals. F**king hippy.

Anyway here's a whole page to beat with your fashion police truncheon. http://www.tshirthell.com/hell.shtml

On the plus side, a slogan on a girl's T-shirt means you have ample excuse to gawp at her chest.

'Oi pervert did you get a good read?!'

'Yes thank you!' :)

Think the original of that was Walter Tull scores on the rebound.

When I was a kid the back of the NME used to have a page of mail order T shirt design. One that always stuck in my mind was, "Jesus saves, Moses invests". Probably couldn't get away with that these days.

What with the banking crisis and everything?

My 'I'm Not Dead Yet' T shirt (from the musical Spamalot) has started many a conversation in hospital waiting rooms. It's also been met with looks of horror and disgust. So much better than staring at the floor, looking miserable and feeling numb.

I hope I don't die wearing it!

When my sons started motocross my husband drove us mad with his boasts about being the team leader, so I had some really cheap T shirts made, each with our names and a job title. On his birthday we wore them hidden under our jumpers during a restaurant meal. As soon as he mentioned being team leader again we took our jumpers off, then handed him a T shirt with Team Leader printed on the front and made him wear it for the rest of the evening.

There is a pic on my facebook page.

I'm not damning the wearing of humourous T-Shirts per se (though I think Chappers is right to say the joke wears thin pretty quickly). What I'm specifically drawing attention to are the kind of 'head shop/back of Loaded' affairs represented by the example I gave. I guess I'm just confused as to why someone would want to wear an item of clothing that so boldly advertises how crass and dim they are. That said, good on them for letting the rest of us know at a distance so we can steer around the stool-headed gnome f**kers.
