I LOVE the ape series that read "Ape no eat Ape. Ape love Ape"

Or there are those creepy Nike shirts that I used to see the saplings wearing: "Just Do Me"

I have also noticed many childrens shirts with big "maryjane" leaves. WTF?

There's a thread about this somewhere that blows those out of the water.

I don't think the tshirt designer realized it was a political statement:

I saw a strange one today; "Modern People Like Thought Memory"

The yellow "Glacial" shirt is priceless. WTF does that even mean? Can anyone make sense of that shirt?

I've noticed some tshirts (and other products) just have a kind of verbal diareah of English. A kind of shot gun approach.

On a cute little 5-year old boy's tee-shirt. I reckon his mom was just thinkin', "Mmm...English...good."

"I Lost My Irginity on Bahama Beach"

...I often wonder how many "irgins" never know what their shirt is trying to say.[/b]

this sort of thing makes me want to get a job with a t-shirt company. you could come up with all kinds of crazy crap and they would pay you to put it on a shirt!

"i am abraham lincoln's baby"

"insanity humping machine"

"gobots rocking, transformers sucking"

"i'm a pepper" (ha, anybody remember those?)

"gyeongsangbuk-do is for lovers"

i'm certain the last one would be a hit.
