“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I propose to show you that my client was driven to his act of violence–horrifying though it was–by the victim’s wearing of a tee-shirt that was so provocative that my client was unable to restrain his rage and forcibly removed the victim’s tee shirt, along with his head.”

Saw a girl wearing a t-shirt that said, “You don’t know me, but your boyfriend does.” Skankiest woman I’ve ever seen in real life, too. Gigantic hair, full-on Braveheart-style mascara, five-inch nails, and hot pants on a decidedly not hot bod.

This was at Disneyland.

So I asked my boyfriend, “Do you know her?” He denied it. But then, who wouldn’t?

A friend of mine has this one:

Help Prevent Rape  
. . . ._Consent_. . . .  
I think it’s funny, but when we go out I prefer that he wears an old hockey jersey he hasn’t washed in three years.

There’s a guy that comes into where my GF works, and wears this one:  
“I’ve eaten more pussy than cervical cancer.”

I really want to smack that punk around.

Reminds me of a couple I saw on an old Mad magazine cartoon. I may not be remembering the exact events precisely, but it’s two nerdy losers at a party. Their shirts:

“ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES”  
and  
“I’M COOL AND I GET GIRLS”

For some reason, my husband and I found those hilarious and used those phrases for years.

I saw this same type with a T-shirt that read: It ain’t gonna lick itself!

This was at a kiddie amusement park. :eek:

Well, whatever you do, do not (and I cannot stress this enough), _do not_ wear this to the vet. Particularly if you’re taking in your extremely sick cat.

While I kind of like funny, tasteless t-shirts, I would never actually wear one at my age. The last one I saw that really tempted me said, “I used to skinny-dip, but now I chunky-dunk.” I liked that one. I also saw an apron once that said, “Don’t fuck with the cook.” I liked that too. And I often laught at other people’s tasteless t-shirts – I’ve liked a lot of the ones on this thread, in fact.

But I really hate those obnoxious “I’m so cute” ones. Like the one in the OP, or the one I just saw today (on a very average looking teenage girl) that said, “I’m cuter than your girlfriend.” And I hate the sexually inappropriate ones on young girls (“Porn Star” or “Easy”) on a t-shirt worn by a kid who looks 10 or 11. Ick.

Actually, the funniest t-shirts I’ve seen were worn by babies and toddlers.

“Daddy drinks because I cry.”

“I can kick your baby’s ass.”

“Your girlfriend thinks I’m hot”

I could imagine a pair of lesbians falling down laughing when they see a guy wearing that…

I found a picture of a tramp stamp (tattoo across of the small of the lady’s back) reading “Daddy’s Girl”.

CNN had a news/interest story running this morning on this very subject. Some outraged mom out there was saying she’s sorry she’d spent thousands of dollars at Abercrombie given these kinds of t-shirts that they are selling now. :rolleyes:

Coincidence? :dubious: I think not. 🆒

It’s a joke that would be funny only to people who read the Onion a lot. They have a habit of running parody “human interest” stories with the phrase “Area man” in the headline. For example, “Area man astonished that girlfriend hasn’t seen Apocalypse now” or “Area man confounded by buffet procedure.” One of their most recent books is called _Fanfare for the Area Man._

> [@CynicalGabe quoting the Onion](#):

> Your local sports team sucks.

I believe the shirt actually says “The sports team from my area is superior to the sports team from you area.”

:smack: of course. Actually, I have read The Onion pretty regularly for about 6 years now. And I still didn’t get it. :smack:
