T-shirt nonsense

Posted in: Drivel

Just read this entry and as far as I could glean some T-shirt in NZ was banned. Anyone living in the rest of the English speaking world might initially guess it was inciting racial hatred, gay bashing, or any of the other stereotypically (and quite rightly so, goddamit!) verboten subjects.

No, it says ...

"Boys are stupid. Throw Stone at them". Riiight. Now, if they'd banned it for being just plain lame that would've been worthy of at least some respect.

"Dear sir/madam, owing to the following reasons you must immediate cease and desist production of the above referenced products:
 
[X] Not funny
[X] Not clever
[X] Causes the wearer to appear bitter, emotionally undeveloped, sad
[X] Causes the wearer to make faltering, embarrassed excuses about "all my other garments were in the wash", "a friend sent me it, and I had to wear it for them", "je ne parle pas anglais", etc
[X] Not making any other particular point
[X] Indeed free of any other redeeming characteristic

Yours, Someone with more Power and Taste than you."

It must rule to live in a country where people get steamed up about that kind of "message". When cats get stuck up trees I bet that makes the papers too :-) Oh come on, I'm just teasing.

Snapping entertaining (to me) pics of T-shirts in the last couple of months:

Now those are T-shirts to take advice from.

And lets face it, if you want the job done you have to go to America (in particular, ouch; read what's on the T).
