the only problem is that while this is a clever turn on one of margrittes works, it fails due to the fact that its in french not italian, which kind of ruins the whole mario thing, atleast for me.

are you kidding me? you don't like it because there's a french phrase under an italian image?



If I were that picky, I'd save a lot of money

It's not even italian .. it's Japanese starring a fat italian guy. So it should have said 'Kore wa paipu jya nai' or something like that. Would you prefer that then? I'm thinking about importing stuff but I hate border control! :(

while mario was italian,

magritte was french.

and overall, i appreciate magritte's contributions to the world rather than mario's.

This shirt is pretty damn brilliant. The comment Magritte was making about art's place in the world, the symbolic and the real, is here reformulated to question what is real in our media driven consumer culture. If Magritte's pipe was meant as a representation of reality, does the fact that this representation of what is itself a representation (Mario's representation of a pipe represented on a shirt) mean that what is real in our society is the very act of representation itself? The late philosopher and art critic Jean Baudrillard would certainly say yes.



The only downside of the shirt is that most people probably won't fully understand it's genius.

yeah. I'm kind of annoyed that people who have no idea who magritte is, will buy this shirt.
