Internet gag t-shirts Ok, so I spotted a pink tee with a monkey on it that read "I fling poo" and guess who I thought of? ;) This guy had his camera with him and took a shot of "how about a nice cup..". →[More:] We all know about the Goatse tee - have you seen any other online gags become tee's? I wonder if the person who made that "shut the fuck up" image knows about that tee and was involved in it/got compensated a little somehow...

That nice cup of stfu TShirt looks photoshopped.
Why would they print part of the text on the undershirt section?

dabitch, I saw someone the other day with tshirt on it that said All Your Base Are Belong to Us, and I just laughed out loud. I'm one of the three people left who still get a ginormous kick out of any reference to All Your Base. I've also seen shirts that had LemonParty and TubGirl on them - no pics - just the words. I've seen all three of these shirts in my little tiny hick town, which is pretty funny.

About 2 years ago, I came across a news story that totally made my day. There was a small town parade for something or other - some local civic pride thing. Two teenage boys got poster board and printed All Your Base Are Belong to Us on them, for shits and giggles. The un-web-savvy police, who had never heard of AYBABTU, thought it was the beginnings of a hostile takeover of the local government, and took them in for questioning....heehee.

I don't think it's photoshopped seanyboy. I do think it's pretty ugly style printing (on undershirt) tho. ;) There's a lot of that going around overe here right now. Ugh.

and iconomy, ROTFLAMO!

5 steps to cool website-related fashion:

1) Convince a community in Northern California to change the name of their area.

2) Round up any surplus police, fire, and paramedic uniforms, and have them re-embroidered.

3) Sell "DINGLE WHISKEYTOWN" merchandise to the general public.

4) ???

5) Profit!

I have a friend with a homemade tshirt that says, "Want to see my Tubgirl costume?"

Lazy screenprinters.

The "cup of STFU" line is originally from Happy Gilmore, although clearly the image is not.

The Dingle label will hopefully be ready to public consumption later this evening. I did it in Photoshop at 72dpi, so I need to up the resolution and fix what ends up blurry (or, potentially, completely redo it at the higher res.)

about 3 weeks ago, I saw a young woman in a Silverlake coffee shop wearing a little black baby-T that just said "tubgirl". I was impressed.
