T-Shirts that shouldn’t exist.

Categories: Offensive, T-Shirts That Shouldn't Exist

Some t-shirt sites make their living selling offensive t-shirts. The Worse Than Hell section of T-Shirt Hell, for example, makes light of some of humanity’s greatest tragedies. Personally, I’m not someone who is easily offended, in fact I sometimes laugh at things that probably shouldn’t be funny. However, the more offensive a joke is, the more clever or funnier it needs to be to balance out the crassness. Especially if you’re going to put it in on a shirt. Here are some examples of tees that fail at this balance, starting with an awful reference to Steve Irwin:

You know you’re running out of good t-shirt ideas when you put the face of a convicted sex offender on one of your tees, let alone a sex offender with congenital facial deformities:

Pretty much anything from PimpIt.com fits the bill. I certainly wouldn’t feel very comfortable wearing this t-shirt:

This t-shirt is not so much offensive, as just something completely inane. I can’t imagine anyone ever bragging about their “girth” on a t-shirt:

Some of the t-shirts these days are getting so lame, that if you actually order one it�s likely going to be the same sweaty t-shirt the model wore in the pic. So what’s your take on these shirts? Feel free to post links to tees that are either too offensive, or not funny enough, or both.

I don’t know. I think the Girth font is a clever way of subliminally stimulating the toddler toy in all of us.

I don’t see how you love t-shirt hell but are disgusted by the tshirts above. They are no worse then the “I eat more pussy then cervical cancer” tshirts that tshirt hell produces.

Or maybe I’m missing something.

At this current time it appears that the Worse than Hell section is gone -again-. So the worst of the lot is out of circulation, at least for a while.
The Steve Irwin shirt didn’t bother me, but I’m from a family where we laugh at funerals of our own. A roast in honor of the deceased sort of thing. Granted that particular shirt isn’t too clever. I -have- come up with better Irwin jokes than that and I’m not even paid for it.

On the subject of the Girth shirt its often said that a man’s girth is more important than his length in the sack since only the first three inches or so of the vagina are really sensitive. But from the looks of it he’s got too much of a good thing going on. Yikes.

Worse Than Hell is gone again? I’m not sure how I feel about that. Shirts like ‘Black babies’ and ‘Hitler’ were the most offensive things I’ve ever seen printed on a t-shirt, but I have to admit, some of them made me chuckle. I guess that’s the predicament we are all in. You either risk making an ass of yourself and offending everyone, or you are a prude who can’t take a joke. What I was trying to do with this post is to point out a few tees that are offensive but are also a bad joke.

I agree, even some of the tees that are slightly funny, I would never actually wear out in public. Come to think of it, I never actually see people wear the really offensive tees outside. I just recently went to (www.buzzymultimedia.com) — they have few clever ones that I might consider wearing.

Thanks for the link, Sookie. Looks like they added some new graphical shirts since I last checked.

If you stop crying about my posts, maybe I’ll stop crying about t-shirts that I really don’t like :)

I agree with the fact that these fail to be in the hall of fame. I do kinda like the girth t shirt. Kinda funny. The others would not get a second glance from me.
