I saw this shirt the other day, and I felt that it was completely tasteless. You know it’s bad when that sentiment comes from someone whose best-selling T-shirt of all-time is “NWP: N*ggas With Perms.” Hell, the Hardest Working Man In Show Business’ lawyers even sent me personal instructions to stop selling my James Brown Celebrity Wife Beater Wife-Beaters. Even with my history of somewhat risque t-shirt design, this one stands out as worthy of criticism. Here’s why:
Reason 1: You never make light of the victim. Whereas my ideas made fun of the wife beaters themselves for their actions(or the perm-wearers for looking like jackasses), this particular shirt makes light of domestic violence itself, and poking fun at what happened to the victim.
Reason 2: The design is just plain crappy. The color scheme sucks, the typographic elements are quite poor, and the fact that they made the message large enough that you can see it from space is just plain tacky.
Reason 3: Who ADVERTISES that they beat up women?! Anyone who wears this deserves to be ostracized from normal society. Wearing a shirt like this to a party is like committing sexual suicide! You may as well strap some dynamite to your d*ck and declare jihad on your chances of meeting someone new that night. Any woman with common sense and self-esteem will steer clear when they see you coming. Your opening line may as well be “Hey! Hey sweetheart…How you doing this evening? B*TCH I’LL SLAP THE SH*T OUT YOU!”
So as you can see, “I’ll Chris Brown A B*tch” is not the fashion statement to make this Spring, or any Spring, for that matter. However, if you’d like a “N*ggaz With Perms” tee, those are available right here!
Also, to the lovely and oh-so-patient Miss Nicole, the shirt that I tried to send you which got delivered to me, is still sitting in my office. It’s gift-wrapped and everything, so I need to make it a point to UPS or FedEx the damned thing to you! That’s going on my “To-Do” list right now!
I agree on all counts – the shirt is trying to make funny outta something not funny in any way.
Plus it’s ugly.
:-)
The first thing I noticed was that it was in Miami Dolphins colors….
I agree with everything you said though….Jesus this world is crap filled…I’m about 3 months from becoming Rorschach in Watchmen!
Like you said if I see a guy or gal with this shirt on I will know they are a little/lot off and steer clear of having a conversation with them….Now my…You Are Not The Father…tee-shirt is just hilarious…I can’t wear to wear it when the weather gets nice enough.
LMFAO @ N.W.P.!!!
now i know a few ppl who can pull off with that tacky bright ass color scheme. with a pair of fresh shoes and sum nice jeans. believe me i kno it can happen
sad
Rorschach was the nucca! LMAO
but yeah this joint is just :-/
the term Chris Browning someone is now synonomous with getting your ass beat… SMH
This is the most tasteless bullshit ever. People wonder why I hate humanity sometimes…
freakin’ hilarious.
People will try to make a buck out of any and everything. Tacky as hell!
So I take it this little germ passed under your radar?

Actually, that was a typo. I meant gem…but germ works too.
@ E.Jay, that song is a flagrant display of outright niggardry!
@ Nikki, you’re absolutely right
@ averagebro, you know you’ve hit a new low when your name becomes a verb. Chris Brown will be clowned for this as long as he lives, and probably after he dies!
@ Phoenix, Lani and Leon, true.
@ Jeff, maybe, but I’d have to see it to believe it!
@ Spidey Ras, that’s one of my favorite Photoshop creations
@ Sasha, I have to see this shirt
@ KillaCal, is the Dolphns color thing supposed to be a reference to the photos of Chris Brown jet-skiing in Miami? Or is it a random coincidence? I still haven’t seen or read Watchmen yet, so I missed that joke unfortunately.
@ Tracy, it is. Quite ugly.
I Love this shirt.. where can i buy it??
dddddddddddddd
"I cain’t be beat and i won’t be beat!" "I’m gonna crucify him, real bad!"
