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