Why, oh why
... do people submit slogans that are so blatantly taken from movies, television, or from existing shirts? When this all started I thought "well, at least they'll never be printed" and then the "For Sale By Parents" shirt came out... and I'm still banging my head against the wall that someone got paid $5000 for the "If it ain't metal, it ain't music" shirt (yeah yeah, it's not a type tee), a slogan you see on the bumpers of only the classiest trucks.

I'm not saying it's any of you, I love you all (or, most of you at least)... I just had to vent.

I don't even read slogans, to be honest, sometimes I just pretend like I do so people can like me though.

The worst is when people submit slogans about submitting slogans. That kills me. For example, and I quote:

"someone stole my desighn so i had to right this"



What in the hell... and I'm not even going to comment on the horrible spelling. But do they really think that's going to get printed, in any form whatsoever? Why do they waste everyone's time?

Another example are the weird slogans that, even if they could be understood by a random stranger, only apply to a *very* limited group of people. I saw one today that said, "I I just really don't understand the point and it pisses me off a little.

Please forgive the rant session. Guess I needed to vent too. *Ahhh* Feeling all better inside now.

i don't like the type tees. just one or two. but otherwise, i'd prefer them not being printed anymore.



it does give people who can't draw a chance though.

We cannot forget those who have 30 slogans up and have scored no (or very few) designs.



I have a problem with taking without giving.
