Shameless plea for slogan votes

I have no artistic talent but I want like DAMN to give birth to a threadless shirt. Please vote for my slogans, some of which are actually funny. Not only will I be your best friend, but I'll post a blog declaring you profoundly amazing and well behaved.

Hey, quit talking about anal sex and gimme some votes here, willya?

GadFlie on Aug 16 '06 at 5:03pm

The first one is a quote from Picard in Star Trek: Nemesis.

The second one is a quote from Robert Downey, Junior.

The other two are in broad use on the internet, have been for years.

Kawfy, check mine out.

MrKawfy on Aug 16 '06 at 5:07pm

...and there are no new songs or jokes either.

MrKawfy on Aug 16 '06 at 5:08pm

AMAZING! I'll buy that for sure, lucky.

GadFlie on Aug 16 '06 at 5:08pm

Luckybum, I found your slogan using google on a web page from 1997.

GadFlie on Aug 16 '06 at 5:09pm

Nowadays, I think your resolution can be at least 1024x768.

Got you...now come and get me :]

beta_maxx on Aug 16 '06 at 5:10pm

done, have a look at mine please

luckybum on Aug 16 '06 at 5:10pm

Ahck I didn't even know how to use the Internet until 1998 :(

GadFlie on Aug 16 '06 at 5:14pm

It seems to me that if you type your slogan into google and if you can find it right away without looking very hard, used just like you mean it to be used, it's not a very original slogan.

deal, Return pleae

Quag on Aug 16 '06 at 5:16pm

Voted, at least you admit it was shameless!

shirtflirt on Aug 16 '06 at 5:17pm

GadFlie on Aug 16 '06 at 5:18pm

shirtflirt, you and I are on the same team.

luckybum on Aug 16 '06 at 5:19pm

GadFlie, I just looked it up and it's not on a T-shirt and it's not worded like mine.

=/

GadFlie on Aug 16 '06 at 5:21pm

You told me! ;)

MrKawfy on Aug 16 '06 at 5:21pm

No offense, gadflie, but with that pic your name should be Buzz Kill

Hopeless_xo on Aug 16 '06 at 5:24pm

I voted on yours... now do mine pretty please :)

GadFlie on Aug 16 '06 at 5:26pm

I haven't figured out how to really fit in here, I guess I do say more negative things than positive things.

I would like to start writing about the shirts, those other guys suggeseted that, maybe I will start.

shirtflirt on Aug 16 '06 at 5:27pm

hear hear gadflie.

whoever you are!

GadFlie on Aug 16 '06 at 5:29pm

I was just reading all the blogs in the past about designers who used parts of people's art in their designs, and everyone got very angry. There's a shirt called Predicament that's like that. Slogans are like comedy. It's work to do a good one, and you should only submit original ones. Copying one that's already in the world is just like copying art in a design. I guess I can't understand why that's OK when you're copying word art but it is not OK when you're copying drawing art.

I guess it is a buzz kill, but to me it is an interesting question and nobody talks about it.

shirtflirt on Aug 16 '06 at 5:31pm

i think it's silly when people steal verbage and then promote as their own.

really shows how useless people are with their vocabs.

KerforKurb on Aug 16 '06 at 5:34pm

look dudes

apathy is stronger than hate

if you don't like slogans stop bitching about them
and ignore blogs where people still have in them
its better to hear people have fun with them than whine about how they will never buy it and never give in
we got it
chill the fuck out

KerforKurb on Aug 16 '06 at 5:34pm

and mine are original so I can say that

GadFlie on Aug 16 '06 at 5:36pm

I bet Stephen Wright would do some good slogans.

Maybe that would be cool: "Select" slogan shirts where you ask some funny person to come up with a phrase.

GadFlie on Aug 16 '06 at 5:39pm

KerforKurb, yours do look original. And they're pretty good.

Are you a comedian in real life, the same way that the designers who do the shirts are artists in real life?

shirtflirt on Aug 16 '06 at 5:40pm

kerfor kurb.

i'm glad you have fun.

that's all that matters.

why do you assume i hate?

luckybum on Aug 16 '06 at 5:42pm

I don't like when art is straight up copied... an homage or parody are, of course, different stories.

In the same light, if a slogan is blatantly copied, I'm all for voting it down or having the "author" take it off.

I'm sorry, but I don't appreciate the accusation of scouring a tech site from 1997, rearranging something the author says in the last paragraph, and then submitting it as my own slogan - that's ridiculous.

I also think that 640x480 is mucy more recognizable than 1024x768, hence my use of the former.

KerforKurb on Aug 16 '06 at 5:43pm

my bad
I sound like asshole

its all good either way

hate it or love it

luckybum on Aug 16 '06 at 5:43pm

*much
I have no idea what mucy means.

MrKawfy on Aug 16 '06 at 5:57pm

Cheez whiz. Some can o' worms I stirred up here. I admit I didn't check to see if my slogans were original, but like I said before, there are no new jokes. I didn't copy them from anywhere, so I'm not pulling them.

Thanks for voting, everyone.
