The T-Shirt Blog

A part of me believes that anyone who triviliazes the sacred institution of democracy by making a political t-shirt that satirizes, idolizes or takes advantage of a presidential candidacy is going straight to hell. So if I’m going to make one now, it might as well be the douchiest most offensive thing possible, right?

In case you aren’t aware, Ashley Todd filed a false police report claiming to have been a victim of a racially and politically motivated attack.

Just wanted to post some carnivorous t’s in response to my post about PETA.

I gotta say, I admire people who have enough respect for animals to leave them alone, even though personally I find it difficult to give up all those things dead animals are good for (mainly dinners, but sometimes lunches, and most certainly all those wonderful by-products of the meat industry). In any case I’m not trying to start an ethical debate here.  What I am interested in  is how one can use a t-shirt to convey a forceful message in creative way.  I feel like “No, I don’t have any spare ribs!” and “Fur Is Dead” certainly accomplish that.

I was eating a chocolate easter bunny one of these days and immediately thought of this t-shirt from Snorg Tees.  Don’t you just love when a t-shirt company comes up with something cute and original instead of the typical schockingly offensive tee you will find anywhere else.  But don’t wory, Snorg hasn’t completely gone soft either:

I was already in second grade when I first found that Santa doesn’t exist.  I can still remember the sunny afternoon as we were packing our bags at the end of the school day.  And the irony of it all?  I am a full blooded jew.

Should you really be surprised to see the big boys take advantage of the latest internet meme by printing it on their latest release? I don’t think so, and it also should not come as a surprise to see everyone else jump on the bandwagon with their own version of “Don’t Tase Me Bro”, including some blatant ripoffs (Gatortased notwithstanding). So this begs the question, is there anyone out there making a “Don’t resist arrest, bro” t-shirt? Meh.

• All-Tribes.com is exactly the kind of t-shirt company we like to review at The T-Shirt Blog and they I’ve come up with an ecofriendly “machine” to fold all your t-shirts. If you’ve got the cardboard, watch the video and make one of your own.
• Don’t have the manual dexterity to build a t-shirt folding machine? A nice asian lady will teach you how to fold your own t-shirts just like sales clerk.
• Nudatees.com is new, would like to get her foot in your door, or at the very least a t-shirt or two into your closet. All tees are $12, and if you hate DRM music you might like this one. Shipping starts at just $3

Ok, I get it, Transformers is kind of a big deal. The movie grossed $24.7 million on it’s first day, and NerdyShirts released not four but five new Transformers t-shirts this week. To top it off one of my coworkers actually showed up to work wearing a Transformers voice changer helmet.

You see, I hadn’t set foot in the good ol’ US and A until late in 1991, and as such have not seen a single Transformers episode. I had seen Plenty of M.A.S.K., Conan the Adventurer, and TMNT, and lots Transformer toy commercials in between. Maybe, just maybe I’ll go watch the movie and see what I’ve been missing. Should I?

Cinco de Mayo was just around the corner, and it was a good chance to eat some Mexican food, drink some non-Mexican beer as well as vodka and gin tonics, and to wear my awesome Tequila shirt from TheRyde. It was also a chance to purposefully mispronounce the name of the holiday only to have my Chilean friend repeatedly correct my pronunciation. Did you know that Cinco de Mayo is not even a widely celebrated holiday in Mexico?

I know the World Cup was almost a year ago, but you don�t have to worry about this t-shirt going out of style for the rest of the decade. And if you want to splurge on the real thing, the authentic Italy replica jersey is on sale for about $20 less than what it normally retails for.

Since we are now on the topic of international soccer, Champion�s League quarterfinals are starting on Tuesday, with 3 teams from England and 2 from Italy still in the mix. For those who don�t know, Champion�s League is basically like the World Series of soccer. Out of the 8 teams left, 7 have been to the finals before, with AC Milan, Liverpool, Manchester United and Bayern Munich combining for 21 titles. Interestingly enough Chelsea is the one team who has never reached the finals, yet are the favorites to win this year�s trophy.

St. Patrick’s day is coming up, and World Soccer Shop has some great gift ideas listed right on the front page. In case you weren’t aware, soccer is one of the two main sports in Ireland, and if you want to celebrate the holiday in style what better to way to do it than with a vintage Ireland track jacket or a Celtric replica soccer jersey. Of course, if you just want the ol’ “Kiss Me I’m Irish” tee shirt, they have that too, along with other decent tees, and even some Guinness gear. I, for one, am going all out with this pair of green socks.

I am not going to post the YouTube link to ‘Kramer’s’ racist tirade at a Las-Vegas nightclub. You can find it yourself if you’d like. Needless to say the outburst was so outrageous that no apology can make up for it — he might as well have been wearing the “arrest black babies before they become criminals” tee from T-Shirt Hell. What I find interesting is how quickly T-Shirt Hell came out with a t-shirt about the whole thing. The story surfaced on Monday the 20th, and by Wednesday evening the shirt was featured on their front page. The illustration isn’t super amazing or anything, but 2 days is at least how long it took me to write this post.

In fact, T-Shirt Hell has been staying on top of recent events, as they continue to churn out their brand of edgy and irreverent tees:

And while you’re over there, check out “International Age of Consent Tour“. I’m sure you know someone who deserves to own that tee.
