about Piece of Meat

http://www.lafraise.com/t-shirt-208p26-united-steaks.html

Michelle01 on May 26 '06 at 7:59pm

not too identical

tesco on May 26 '06 at 8:00pm

piece of meat is about eighteen billion times better than that

d3d on May 26 '06 at 8:01pm

you love ross

fastjumper on May 26 '06 at 8:02pm

they are such different

fastjumper on May 26 '06 at 8:02pm

though similar

Kaleidoscope*swe* on May 26 '06 at 8:03pm

maybe piece of meat was the artist insperation.

5115 on May 26 '06 at 8:03pm

their mouse/dog models are about retarded. how stupid. they save money as apposed to using models, I guess, but can't the workers just pose or at least buy fucking mannequins.

d3d on May 26 '06 at 8:03pm

i do agree though. it's the difference between a clever sociological statement, and a pun with a clever graphic.

tesco on May 26 '06 at 8:03pm

I really dont, it's just that that shirt is awful whereas piece of meat is awesome

tesco on May 26 '06 at 8:04pm

I 've never seen it as a pun, just a piece of meat

d3d on May 26 '06 at 8:09pm

i meant the other way around. Piece of Meat denotes the wearer as a piece of meat. i consider the United Steaks one the pun.

tesco on May 26 '06 at 8:10pm

It definitley tries to hard, maybe without the text it would work better.

Frank Vice on May 26 '06 at 8:12pm

i've seen that site linked because of similar complaints about it being almost a ripoff of something

angelito on May 26 '06 at 8:15pm

<<<----- Nice dog :)

5115 on May 26 '06 at 8:16pm

I know they are all different in ways, but when the idea and all is similar, I get pissy...

Kaleidoscope*swe* on May 26 '06 at 8:17pm

MERDE! damn the french

loserbeech on May 26 '06 at 8:18pm

I love that Late of Autumn one. I'd buy it if they had it in my size. I need to check La Fraise more often.

tesco on May 26 '06 at 8:19pm

well the mentality of the people behind lafraise is to copy great ideas, which is what they did to threadless, so it's no surprise they copy some of the actual shirt designs as well. boo, bad show.

5115 on May 26 '06 at 8:23pm

they steal our artists/designers too like MR.DEAD!!!

littlem on May 26 '06 at 8:25pm

i like my meat

radiostaticstar on May 26 '06 at 8:49pm

when i saw the title i was hopin' it was going to be this shirt...

shirtflirt on May 26 '06 at 9:16pm

not enough close

you can see the cow head in piece of meat

the other one is just stupid

shirtflirt on May 26 '06 at 9:16pm

whoa,

i mean,

not even close........

"you can see the cow head in piece of meat

cow head? where? what are you talking about?

Loserly on May 26 '06 at 9:56pm

I honestly thought the piece of meat pun relied a bit heavily on the title. If someone thought about it long enough, they could come to the conclusion it was a sociological statement, but most people probably think you just like meat. The other shirt would definitely be better without the text, but I'm still not overly fond of it.

shmoopa on May 27 '06 at 2:42pm

united steaks is definetly different (and better), bravo Jack.

Per Danger on May 27 '06 at 2:46pm

I can't go to Lafraises anymore, that staring dog tells me to kill people.

littlem on May 27 '06 at 2:46pm

shmoopa on May 27 '06 at 2:55pm

bande de steaks

lordyoyo on May 27 '06 at 3:01pm

The idea of the french one is totally different... you call it "copy" whereas I call it "inspiration" ;) don't think we can appreciate both Threadless & Lafraise ? :) Good work Jack & d3d !!

nes-k on May 28 '06 at 5:13am

YEs !!! united steaks is definetly different (and better!!!)

et aussi comme Shmoo "bande de steaks"

Frank Vice on May 28 '06 at 5:14am

you fuckers, listen to d3d, he is the man.

Robsoul on May 28 '06 at 11:29am

mark ryden is the inspiration for all of these imo... and mark ryden was inpired by francis bacon and francis bacon was inspired ... list goes on

OlliRudi on May 28 '06 at 11:31am

the french really love awful puns that don't even make sense...

karena@magicjelly on May 28 '06 at 11:33am

I think cows can probably take the credit more so than Mark Ryden...

.moto. on May 28 '06 at 11:44am

i officaly HATE la fraise... they're so bloody cheeky.

Robsoul on May 28 '06 at 12:35pm

so cows paint meat chops karena@magicjelly? no I don't think so

tesco on May 28 '06 at 12:36pm

olli nailed it, I would feel quite the dickhead wearing this

grayehound on May 28 '06 at 12:37pm

isn't la fraise French? So do the French get the pun in there or do they just not care and laugh at anything that makes fun of Les Etats Unis?

Robsoul on May 28 '06 at 12:38pm

so true, the phrase is just ...what, huh? ok

karena@magicjelly on May 28 '06 at 12:38pm

There'd be no chops to paint without cows!

elektrikgor on May 28 '06 at 12:39pm

Not close at all...

shmoopa on May 28 '06 at 2:14pm

littlem on May 28 '06 at 2:15pm

Robsoul on May 28 '06 at 2:30pm

Robsoul on May 28 '06 at 3:50pm

Per Danger on May 28 '06 at 4:00pm

Robsoul on May 28 '06 at 5:10pm
