Did anyone else misread the title for this shirt the first time they saw it?

about Diodes are a Girls Best Friend

I was shocked. Then I re-read it.

plastic ghosts on Jun 25 '07 at 5:51pm

Dildo.

I mean, ditto. ;)

Aristarchus on Jun 25 '07 at 5:53pm

That would actually be an awesome title for a shirt...

travis76 on Jun 25 '07 at 6:16pm

dirty..DIRTY minds.
if anything it should read 'diamonds'.

dirty.

Aristarchus on Jun 25 '07 at 6:18pm

"...and a rocket-powered Sybian carried her out over the city..."

macko4231 on Jun 25 '07 at 7:09pm

oh god, i didn't read it that way but now that you've said that i'll never look at this shirt again without laughing

phyntosia on Jun 25 '07 at 7:16pm

Yes! Glad I'm not the only one :D

theadi on Jun 25 '07 at 8:23pm

I most certainly did!

ladykat on Jun 25 '07 at 8:26pm

Makes me love this shirt that much more!

Quid Pro Quo on Jun 25 '07 at 8:32pm

Yeah I'm guilty as well.

OlliRudi on Jun 25 '07 at 8:35pm

guilty

rain_cloud on Jun 25 '07 at 8:43pm

I didn't misread the title, but I when I saw the title of this blog I though, "yeah, it kinda looks like 'dudes'." Then I clicked the title link and saw that the misread-word was 'dildo.'

...dirty... *shakes head*

wewmole32 on Jun 25 '07 at 9:22pm

i mesread it but i thought it said somthing totally different

No, it's just you.

Rainbowafterflood on Jun 25 '07 at 9:36pm

No, I read it right, but once you said mentioned misreading it, I totally saw what you saw. Haha.

megafone on Jun 26 '07 at 12:51am

I'm filthyt so of course I thought it said dildoes.

millagorilla on Jun 26 '07 at 1:00am

Yeah, when I saw that it said "Girls"and not "Girl's ", my jaw dropped. Then I punched myself in the face for being a grammar jerk. Oh yeah, and that whole dildo thing too.

d3d on Jun 26 '07 at 1:02am

i didn't. i guess that proves i'm more geek than pervert once and for all. i'm a little disappointed in myself.

matteatskids on Jun 26 '07 at 9:06am

kind of. i was more or less so excited to look at this shirt i didn't even really read the title.

Kojima on Jun 26 '07 at 9:14am

I was going to say something about the title too.

Kojima on Jun 26 '07 at 9:14am

I thought Travis did it on purpose.

travis76 on Jun 26 '07 at 9:26am

nope.
nothing should come to mind but 'diamonds'. that was my pun. i try to come up with a punnish title after i do the design, instead of the other way around.

i think i looked at it sideways and saw 'dido is a girl's best friend' (why they left out the apostrophe, i dunno)
but i never saw 'dildo', maybe because i knew what i intended.

mtelms17 on Jun 26 '07 at 10:43am

i think it was a freudian thing travis.

uhleeeesuh on Jun 26 '07 at 12:55pm

HAHAHAHA that makes me love you all.

tracerbullet on Jun 26 '07 at 1:21pm

i was totally about to make a blog about the same thing

underzenith on Jun 26 '07 at 10:32pm

hahahahaha :))

nesbittie on Jun 26 '07 at 11:13pm

i thought that dildo had been spelt wrong haha

FRICKINAWESOME on Jun 27 '07 at 4:59am

Wow....a rocket-powered dildo! Women around the world collectively rejoice and are very, very afraid.

phones on Jun 27 '07 at 5:03am

women.

13strong on Jun 27 '07 at 5:03am

It's not just you. I read it as "dildos" as well.

There is something wrong with us.

13strong on Jun 27 '07 at 5:04am

I've just realised that there's no apostraphe in the title.

That bugs me. It should read "Diodes Are a Girl's Best Friend".

Oy! Threadless! Sort it aht!

travis76 on Jun 27 '07 at 1:14pm

it is nothing more than a woman riding on a flying robot

they are friends.
it's not about mechiality!
:D

deboraborialis on Jun 28 '07 at 9:10am

I didn't. I'm dissapointed that my mind in not dirtier.

d3d on Jun 28 '07 at 9:12am

so am i deb. heartbroken even.

13strong on Jun 28 '07 at 9:18am

robosexual!

deboraborialis on Jun 28 '07 at 9:27am

I'm happy with my geekiness, but I always thought I was a saucy geek. I'm off to alphabetise in my underwear. That usually cheers me up.

corny_girl395 on Jun 29 '07 at 4:00pm

I mis read it as well. haha.

Alexandra Marie on Jun 29 '07 at 4:01pm

I've seen people put it in their "My T-Shirts" list as 'dildo'.

mtelms17 on Jun 30 '07 at 1:57am

that was me . i wrote that on my list when i was drinking.
i have since changed it back to preserve the artistic integrity

I didn't mis-read it, though I suppose it helps to know what a diode is.

The missing apostrophe bugs me, though. And anyone who cares about such things is going to think that it's the artist who's an illiterate moron. Shame on you, Threadless!!
