Fast Food Nation Vacation

You know, either Threadless has recently been overrun with Vegans or some people REALLY got self righteous about this film. Since the "Threadless loves Fast Food Nation" started, I've seen Ronald McClown depicted as the devil, hamburgers being represented as poop, and a wide variety of other fast food hating propaganda.

My scoring percentage dropped DRAMATICALLY during and JUST BECAUSE OF this competition. Seriously, I'll be glad when it ends so our clever designers can get over themselves (and their new-found ideals) and get back to designing t-shirts I'd gladly mark with a "$".

For now, I think I'm going to rock the drive through of some grease pit or another. Anyone want takeout?

Same here.

All the designs submitted aren't anything super impressive... they're all very generic and bland.

Who would really honestly wear a shirt with Ronald McDonald or some other fast food icon on it?

dude if you can get one of those burgers from that awesome place that puts peanut butter on their burgers then rock on with your bad self.

i saw this documentary on the sundance channel which featured the restaurant amongst others.

there was also a restaurant where they make only cheeseburgers and only using these special steam boxes that when they take the cheese and the burger out (separately) you would think they were putting a wad of mayo on the burger.

Try not to lose sleep over it

18ocolette- I was on the band-wagon for the t-shirt "The Fast Supper". It went so fast the first and second print run, I never had a chance to get it. I mean, I dig the pop culture reference to fast food icons (on that shirt) but this entire contest is bunk.

andyg- No sleep lost, I just wanted to piss and moan after I finished submitting something like 15 of these "FFN" submissions and rating them all 0, 1s, and 2s. Why should I look like a dick on my profile because I score to my opinion of good taste and most of the submissions coming from the

...coming from the "FFN" competition have none.

nintechno- Saw it. It was one of the least offensive. I believe I gave it a 4 just because the illustration was really nice.

However, this whole concept of "Fast food is killing our nation" is bullshit. This nation is killing itself with fast food. It's not the industry's fault... It's the dumb people who overindulge themselves and their children and then wonder why little Jane and Johnny are obese or why they themselves are having heart problems.

Wow. I had no idea I felt so strongly about it until I started typing...

Thank God someone else out there felt that way. That was the worst group of submissions ever! Sorry I didn't find this earlier; I wouldn't have felt so bad for giving all of them a "0." Everyone is just trying to blame someone else for their lack of maturity. Very glad it is over.
