Cute, but it would be better…and more relevant to advertising if it were the “seven words you can never say on television” from the 1972 George Carlin comedy routine…which evolved from Lenny Bruce.
Its funny because we, as designers, are supposed to create discussions and spark debate. Always questioning.
And this is a prime example of it. Wearing the shirt not only shows his personality, which seems to be quite like mine from the pic ha, but also sends a big message of “stick it to the man.”
Brainless.
Not up to your usual, classy, intelligent postings.
I’m at a loss as to what makes this clever, humorous or a matter of good design, let alone taste.
Tom, I hear what you are saying and probably would have felt the same way. Then I got cancer. Some days, this is the shirt that you want to wear. But as I said, can’t think of a place I’d feel comfortable wearing it. It did make me smile.
I’ve had days where that shirt would have been awesome!
As to why it was posted – that is easy. It made her smile. So, she shared it with us. No, it won’t appeal to everyone, but it is a little something unexpected that many of us can relate to. I love it!
Tom – for what it counts, my husband votes with you. Finds it hard to believe many people could get through their day wearing this shirt without “showing it to the kids.”

I would have too. I hope this doesn’t turn into a situation like the Remember ____ debacle.

Classy

He must have come up with this idea after trying to shave with a dull razor.

If there were any place it would be appropriate for me to wear this, I would buy it in a second. Classic.

Or maybe it’s just me….

Always wonderful when someone discovers a new low.

Somehow I doubt that the inclusion of the word “Cunt” as suggested above would bring a smile. Makes it a bit too edgy for the safe.

I love this!

Reminds me of Father Jack

Love it. Warmly, karen

Love it except wrong order. Since the late sixties or early seventies (yes, I’m dating myself) the way to cuss is:
“damn shit hell fuck piss”
And say it like you mean it.

Sometimes a shirt is just a shirt, I though it was quite funny, heh!

My friend Steve had a shirt that said “Fuck You You Fucking Fuck.” He wore it in to IHop on a Sunday with me to have coffee. It was bloody hilarious.

One of my favorite quotes from Theater is in Hot L Baltimore.
Shit, damn, hell, piss, poop.
