I bought my brother a t-shirt that has the PETA logo on the front. Underneath, in small letters, it reads: “ **P** eople for the **E** ating of **T** asty **A** nimals.” 😃 He loved it. ---

The only T-shirt I have ever seen that made me laugh out loud was worn by a really attractive woman walking down the stairs at the railway station. It simply said across the front “Stop staring at my Tits”. ---

Hi- Hyperlink rules used to be simple: 2-click rule. Two clicks from anything pornographic or not suitable for kids. So the tshirthell homepage is ok, but don’t link directly to something REALLY offensive inside the site. My worst is a Sisters of Mercy shirt that says “shut.the.fuck.up” on the front. Possibly commentary to the Net age. We also made “Co-Ed naked Sex…why play lacrosse?” t shirts for the college I went to. -Tcat ---

> [@](#): > > “I f\*cked the girl from Hanson.” > > my fav. don’t have the guts to wear it though. heh heh. Post it to me. I’d wear that in a second. Not too bad really, but the B\*Witched (shitty irish girl band from a few years ago) I have gets some choice comments when I rock it. Especially at a Gaelic football match. ---

Probably the two most outrageous ones I own are “Disgruntled Postal Workers #911” with a parody of the old USPS logo (the eagle is carrying a SMG in its talons) and “AREA 51 – NO UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL BEYOND THIS POINT – DEADLY FORCE AUTHORIZED” (presented as a sign riddled with bullet holes and blood stains). ---

These aren’t grossly offensive, but I’ve gotten some good comments with my repertoire of queer shirts, including: 2Q2BSTR8 Queen of the Fucking Universe BC Fairies – Cruising the Straights (which, with the spelling emended, was actually a slogan used by BC Ferries at one point) ---

Three words on the back- “Charlie Don’t Surf” Picture of “Charlie” on the front. Yeah. _you_ know which Charlie! 😃 I only put in on for friends at my house who’ve never seen it. ---

My favorite t-shirt is not especially offensive, although i guess some people might find it so. But it certainly gets attention, every time i wear it, at least five people ask me where i got it. [Here’s a picture](http://myweb.jhu.edu/hendo/PICT0084_crop.jpg) of me (with the wife) wearing the shirt at the Reproductive Rights March on DC earlier this year. ---

I think the most offensive tshirts I have are: Jesus loves you, but everyone else thinks you’re and as\*hole (some “fundie” actually verbally accosted me while I was wearing this… I have no Idea why???) and Marijuanna… Hey at least it’s not crack (I had it on once when I ran to the grocery store and I kept getting these really dirty looks from some of the women there. I was like what is their darn problem… then realized what shirt I was wearing 😃 ) ---

\*\* > [@Shagnasty](#): > > It had a picture of the Twix cereal Rabbit on it. Over the rabbit it read, “Silly Faggot, Dix are for Chix”. I cannot believe that someone would actually wear that in public… \*\* I have seen this one worn publicly many times. And since im already yammering, ill mention again that the poll was for shirts you own, and wear. Be Nervy 🙂 Wear your shirts. And yes, Tshirt Hell does have some rather raunchy, offensive shirts - one of my favourites, that i bought for my 9 month old says “my iq is still higher than the presidents” and i’ve not received anything but laughter from that one. ---

This has be pining to open an offbeat customized tshirt company - But then id want to have matching stickers, and thongs, and coffee mugs and uhh - yea, no, thats probably a bad idea. ::scratch:: ---

Where did you get that? Oh, G- has a shirt that says “Why the hell do i need algebra for a career in pornography” Though ive seen the shirt online, when i actually saw him wearing it, i laughed so hard i nearly shot Dr Pepper out my nose. ---

A black shirt with little "fuck"s randomly all over in a white, broken typewriter font: Guido at club: “That shirt means you’re sexually frustrated.” Me: “Really?” G@c: “Yea, you’re sexually frustrated.” Me: “Oh. OK.” G@c: “You’re sexually frustrated!” Me: “Ah, sure, whatever you say…” G@c: “You’re sexually… Gah!” I also have a shirt with a picture of a dog licking his own balls. It reads, “becauseican”. People try to make out the words for five seconds or so, the either smile, or frown. ---

> [@girlb0x](#): > > I “must” have that shirt. Where did you get that? Unfortunately, i have to tell everyone who asks me that the same thing: i bought it on a visit home to Australia last year. Actually, i think i could do pretty good business printing and selling them here in the States. On the same trip, i got one with the McDonald’s “M” on it, but instead of McDonald’s, it says McDeath. ---

I have a T-shirt that says “What part of [complicated-looking fluid dynamics equation] don’t you understand?” I thought it was just cute and nerdy, but a colleague of mine told me it was “really rather obnoxious and snotty.” And she understands the equation. I can’t imagine what random passers-by think. ---

> [@mhendo](#): > > On the same trip, i got one with the McDonald’s “M” on it, but instead of McDonald’s, it says McDeath. I had a friend in high school who owned a shirt with the Burger King logo on it that said “Murder King.” Same idea. Mine is probably the Landover Baptist Church t-shirt my girlfriend got me for my birthday this year. Front and back in nice flame-style letters, it reads DAMNED ATHEIST. Not really offensive, but the most disarming one I have, I’m sure.
