Ugh.

This is the first threadless tee I've ever purchased and of course, one of the most ingenious of tees around. Ever since I've bought it, I've seen lots of people wearing this tee in Singapore, which I felt sorely bitter about because I felt mildly special for owning this piece of novelty.

But I digress. The popularity of this tee is going overboard. No, don't get me wrong. I still love this tee dearly, and it's design as well. But if you go to Chinatown or Bugis (both in Singapore), you'll see this design selling around. They are undoubtedly pirated and a ripoff. It doesn't help that instead of the red background, a white background was put instead. It doesn't really quite stop it from being a ripoff.

The original designer of this tee has probably worked so hard for it. I hate it when people rip off designs like that and sell them for SGD$8 (USD$5).
