Offensive Tshirts

I have this addiction to offensive Tshirts. I have found tshirthell.com, snorgtees, and foulmouthshirts.

Any other links you know of?

Is anybody surprised that he would? No? Alright then, now that that is settled, carry on!

You're just now getting to T-shirthell? Cripes man, that's been around since dialup! (I know, i've accessed that site on dialup before). Also check bustedtees.com... and for less offensive, but usually more hilarious, check out shirt.woot.com.

My favorite:

Oh wow.

That site's been around for a long time. I have a few shirts from them.

About a year ago, the owner said he was going to close the site down. He'd gotten way too many death threats and horrible emails and couldn't deal with it anymore. He was going to sell out what he had and just shut it all down.

After about 2 months of him making a mint he posted that it was really just a scam to get people to finally buy something (rather than look) and that he was laughing all the way to the bank.....

I think their "I Plane NY" T-shirt is probably the one that got them the initial attention.

I remember when the owner did that... it was rather amusing. And yeah, i'm pretty sure it was the I {plane} NY one that did it, or the high school shooting world tour one....

I have the "Jesus hates the yankees" shirt. I occasionally get a Bostonian trying to high-five me, at which point I have to politely break the news that Jesus hates them too.

On another board I frequent someone got rousted for having an offensive T on:

Someone said: I was at the mall today, as I was coming down the escalator there was a security guard giving me the evil eye, so I scowled at him appropriately and continued on, I was about to go into Spencers when two lady security guards ask to read my shirt which says "If only I had money instead of this giant dick" they ask me to turn it inside out, "no" I say, she says "no?" I say "NO, I'll leave" then I proceed to leave the mall. The original rent-a-pig comes up and thanks me for understanding, I simply say that I was about to spend more money in the mall, but that I guess they'll lose that money. The thing is, I bought this shirt at that very mall. They said that just because sears sells underwear dosen't mean you can walk around in the mall wearing it.

Am I the only one that thinks people with offensive t-shirts are desperate for attention and sort of sad? I just don't get wearing something you know will illicit a response and then acting indignant once you're successful. But, to each their own.

No different than slut walks, crusty punks, hipsters, goths etc etc. "Pay attention to MEEEeeEEEeEEEeeEE"

For most people, I would agree. Myself personally, I love it in use as sort of a "stream of thought" process. You post what your thinking! I've had some awesome conversations on it with friends (I only invite actual friends who are on, so about 50 total) who then take the idea and run with it. For myself, it basically has replaced MSN Messenger.

Or Raider Nation, NY, NOTW, Calvin pissing on...

Bumper stickers, decals, t-shirts with logos, hats with logos are all things that say "hey, look what I think, like, etc"

I was walking out of the mall the other day and some lanky dude was walking in with a plain white t shirt that said: "berkeley ADAM DUNN HATERS" written in permanent marker.

I later needed to have a coworker tell me Adam Dunn was.

Those Calvin pissing on ones are the worst.

In reply to SyntheticBlinkerFluid:

Ok, who is Adam Dunn?

Apparently a player for the Chicago White Sox. According to my buddy he is going to have the worst hitting career in baseball history.

I used to follow baseball, but I haven't in a few years.

There's a difference between being unique for the sake of being unique and actively trying to offend people. Sadder even when you have to pay $18 for a t-shirt printed with someone else's humor to do it.

the weird old imported car that no one knows ever existed and the offensive shirts say the same thing- "look at me. i'm different, just like everyone else".

it's all about self expression. we are all posers, and we all pose in different ways. once you accept that your life becomes less complicated and things don't bother you as much as they used to.

A weird, eclectic car doesn't go out of the way to try to offend someone though.
