Recently I've started to notice the slogans being posted are utterly horrible. At least most of them. Now, I won't say that mine are strokes of brilliance, but atleast they're not complete crap - atleast I don't think they are. :)

Here are some suggestions for people submitting slogan-suggestions:

- "This shirt"-type text is not funny
- "If you can read this"-type text is not funny
- Playing on the person wearing the shirt is not funny ("I am hot!" etc.)
- Playing on the person seeing the shirt is not funny ("When you're finished reading, kiss me!" etc.)
- Using gender-specific stuff isn't really a good idea - you'd probably want to print something unisex
- Excessive swearing just doesn't work, so don't go there
- "Funny" racial comments are just voted down anyway, so why not try to be creative instead?

The slogans I find most attractive are those that are just simple, yet clever text. Just look at what has already gotten printed - those shirts should give you a good idea about what becomes popular.

Rant rant rant etc. :)
