corey8 on Mar 14 '07

nice! who is jesus?

Gareth1 on Mar 14 '07

I am assuming that this 'Jesus,' you speak of is a very attractive man???

Effa on Mar 14 '07

whoo! love love love

lunchboxbrain on Mar 14 '07

Preach on! 5

skipcronin on Mar 14 '07

well that would explain why he didn't lust after mary magdalene.

SavaJava on Mar 14 '07

Amazing!!!

canadianbeaver on Mar 14 '07

Such typography and color - this Jewess is going gay and Christian if this baby gets printed. I just need a good lawyer.

But do me a favor and flip the apostrophe.

hey-ho on Mar 14 '07

hahahahahahhahahahaha...nice!

katkot on Mar 14 '07

sooo great

oldskoolgeek on Mar 14 '07

I've seen this design before same slogan with a rainbow (although more simple) on t-shirts a few years back when I was in college.

chelly on Mar 14 '07

there's still some color bleeding past the lines in I'D, fyi. i really don't care if this has been done before, because i doubt that it has been done so well. $5

Sunshine69 on Mar 14 '07

it's a little bit too light. I'd like to see the colors a little brighter. But this cracked me up.

Jennifuhrer on Mar 14 '07

Hay-seus, huh?

spires on Mar 14 '07

:) thanks so far!

Answerthatandstayfashionable on Mar 14 '07

is jesus a girl or a boy?
ehhh... i wouldnt

travioli on Mar 14 '07

Hey, pretty funny design. I was just looking at your old Roommates design. I think that with a few alterations it would be pretty cool in the bioshock competition since I have seen only a hand full of cool designs so far.

mindtrance on Mar 14 '07

nobody fucks with the jesus.

citrouille on Mar 14 '07

hahahaha. yes.

Rainn on Mar 14 '07

Uh. No.

milyn0206 on Mar 14 '07

Uh, what about the ladies? This design only works for guys. I hate shirts that dont appeal to everyone. And I actually dont find it as "witty" as some people here are.

maximusrex on Mar 14 '07

That's too sweet! Who wouldn't though?

spires on Mar 14 '07

Travioli, let's see how many times can submit Roommates, and how high it can score without them printing it, before Threadless finally says 'fuck this' and destroys my account.

Shadowen36 on Mar 14 '07

OMG, I love this, def a $5! :]

Leslee on Mar 14 '07

Bwahaha! 5

bnl_lover on Mar 14 '07

I wouldn't go gay for some character from a book, but if it's Jesus the mexican poolboy from down the street, then I'll think about it...

Adnamaeel on Mar 14 '07

I think it's hilarious, but not worth the division it would cause... If I want Christians to respect my values, I probably shouldn't openly mock theirs...

Klynx on Mar 14 '07

i'd go gay for Mary Magdalene? damn, it just doesn't have the same ring to it :-(

HiiHills on Mar 14 '07

YES! haha!
clever and well i love it!

$5!

why would spires want christians to respect his values? why would anyone else's values affect his doing?

canceromega on Mar 14 '07

It took me the longest time to figure out what this reminded me of, and now I finally remember! It was that one episode of It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia where there was a water stain that looked like the Virgin Mary and Charlie said something about going gay for God, haha.
$5 by the way.

I_ am_Moose on Mar 15 '07

I know someone is going to give me flak for saying this-- but this is blasphemous and should not be printed!

V-Wing on Mar 15 '07

ehh.. nope. :[

mephitine on Mar 15 '07

This is perfect for tshirthell, but threadless might not go for it. If you get shot down here, you can try over there.

ladykat on Mar 15 '07

But... if I went gay, I wouldn't want Jesus! Unless... did Jesus have a sex-change operation?

mindtrance on Mar 15 '07

you would want Jezebelus his Sister.

pixpop on Mar 15 '07

you win.

SomethingMore on Mar 15 '07

This can't possible work for everyone. I can't wear this, it would make no sense at all for a women to wear this. I agree with milyn0206, this si not that wity nor is it very origonal. I've seen so many ranbow designs and where this one may be drawn well it still isn't a great concept.

TheMacFactor on Mar 15 '07

love the rainbow.

Sunshine69 on Mar 15 '07

I'm a woman, and I'd go gay for Jesus, too!

shirtflirt on Mar 15 '07

somethingmore, i expected, well, something more from you.

for shame

Mike4507 on Mar 15 '07

This design made me laugh the quickest I have on any other design

shirtflirt on Mar 15 '07

Uh, what about the ladies? This design only works for guys. I hate shirts that dont appeal to everyone. And I actually dont find it as "witty" as some people here are.italic text

what about the ladies? ladies can't go gay?

why do you assume going gay is only for dudes?
jesus is dead, dumbass

icebar on Mar 15 '07

if a girl liked jesus, she wouldn't be gay because he's a guy.
people aren't this religious nowadays, are they?

shirtflirt on Mar 15 '07

that's not what it's saying!!!!!!!

it's non sexual gayness, meaning a girl would like a girl for jesus
or a guy would like a guy

god damnit people!

sonmi on Mar 15 '07

ya, it's not saying you'd go gay to get it on with hey seus

shirtflirt on Mar 15 '07

i guess i didn't have to get angry over it.

SomethingMore on Mar 15 '07

Shirtflirt, I happen to have a gay aunt and it dosn't bother me at all. I just don't find this a very good concept. but if it makes you feel better to be all macho and rude then go right ahead and do so. Also most peoepl who have comented have said that the shirt makews them think about guys being gay since Jesus was a guy. When I make a coment on somethign I am not trying to be mean just show that theres another way to view something. Everyone's intitled to their own feelings and opinions.

Also if you read my comment I said nothing against gay people in any way. I very much dislike people like you who see a fight in everything.

shirtflirt on Mar 15 '07

did i say you did?
and it's ok to have an opinion. i was just pointing it out that your opinion was wrong.

yeah, jesus was a guy. that's about where the parallels between this concept and your assesment end.

and to everyone else who thought that, well, they're all wrong.

macho? i'm the farthest thing from macho.
we've never got into an argument and still haven't so take it easy.

APcaitZ on Mar 15 '07

well. for all we know, jesus could have been a girl. the only thing saying he was a man is a he says he says

icebar on Mar 15 '07

ok apparently i have misconstrued the entire point of the text on this tee.
it has a double meaning.
p.s. the design is too cheesy.

icebar on Mar 15 '07

i mean obviously it's meant to be that way..
but people won't buy it because of that.

Frank Vice on Mar 15 '07

it'd be pretty funny if you were walking around and some molester dude named jesus raped you because of this shirt.. well not funny, just ironic

aprettiergreen on Mar 15 '07

i think this is hilarious, though if i were going to wear it it'd need to say "i'd go straight for jesus"

The Winged Self on Mar 15 '07

meh, it seems like something you would buy at hot topic.

AzureMetal on Mar 15 '07

Honestly, I think it's quite offensive. I don't find the phrase very funny, though very precocious. The layout is a bit helter skelter as well. It's a bit hard to read.

spires on Mar 15 '07

precocious? I'm 26.

Austin Carver on Mar 15 '07

too late. you already are gay.

maverick32 on Mar 16 '07

ROFLMFAO AHAHAHA

Ripped like Jesus.

Poseidon on Mar 16 '07

I wouldnt do shit for jesus! He can go gay for himself. Cool shirt though.

UrUnderMySkin06 on Mar 16 '07

what about if the rainbow were actually you know the rainbow colors? not pastels. i dunno just a thought

skafiend007 on Mar 16 '07

It looks like the opening title logo for a '70s TV show...

"...and right after Three's Company, Bob is forced to give it up in a dingy Park District bathroom as Jesus holds him to his word in the new hit sitcom, 'I'd Go Gay for Jesus'... this fall, the laughs are on ABC!..."

shirtflirt on Mar 16 '07

i see it as more of an after school special type show.

"Bruce learns that by going gay, he too can accept jesus, wayne and all the other male cheerleaders in his high school for who they are. But before he can do that, he must first kick his methamphetimine and amyle nitrate addictions."

enlighten_the_messenger on Mar 16 '07

I love this!!!

5 and $!!!

I would buy this without hesitation.

bananaphone on Mar 17 '07

you're a bad man spires, a bad bad man! (i like it)

sometimessane on Mar 17 '07

i carnt spel on Mar 17 '07

i went straight when i found out he was gay... bastard

the one nicodemus on Mar 17 '07

jesus loves you, he's just not in love with you.

LeRoi on Mar 17 '07

Bad colour shirt.

WATERFILL123 on Mar 17 '07

thenewswansea on Mar 17 '07

diomio on Mar 17 '07

heck, I'd go straight for jesus.

arabiantealeaves on Mar 17 '07

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Quag on Mar 17 '07

Hahahahahhahaha. Awesome. 5$

atchavira77 on Mar 17 '07

HI-LARIOUS!!

rub my pants there magical on Mar 18 '07

this makes me want to grow a moustache.

Danielle702 on Mar 18 '07

Hahaha. funny

Fletcher Fashion on Mar 18 '07

This is great!
100$!!

I keep forgetting how many people don't know about Jesus or Christianity in general.
Hahaha.

prancingmorons on Mar 18 '07

sigh this is blasphemous and disrespectful. but i admit it's pretty funny haha.

sarahtomic on Mar 19 '07

zOMG I want this so bad. Except I'm a girl, which might even make it funnier. $5 and a buy!

sadran on Mar 19 '07

:0 I can't believe you'd put this on a shirt!

MyNameIsVex on Mar 19 '07

Yes. The critique is now a sub. Yes! Yes! Yes! I want this now!!! $5

mindtrance on Mar 19 '07

girls can be gay too...

MyNameIsVex on Mar 19 '07

Ok, some people are saying this doesn't work for girls, but I would totally wear this and I am a girl and I am also very Christian... Oh, so I would not only buy this for myself, but probably gift it to three of my friends and tell a bunch of other friends about it and they would buy it. If this doesn't win, you need to print it on some other t-shirt site because I need it!

bearback on Mar 19 '07

genius £ one million

francisorme on Mar 19 '07

wow. i need this on my body.

maija on Mar 19 '07

Heh. After a recent snowfall someone was going around and stomping Christian slogans in the snow on hillsides next to overpasses around town so that they were like billboards. There was one that said "Jesus Loves Me" and someone else stomped an "N" at the end of it. :)

But as amusing as this tee is, the typography really bothers me. It could be a lot tighter. The "I'd go" and "for Jesus" should be pulled in above and below the "Gay". Plus inverted apostrophes make gay Jesus cry.

valerielynn on Mar 19 '07

hahahahahahahahaha.

is all i have to say.

Zickwolf on Mar 19 '07

wow... yet another jesus related shirt....

evade on Mar 19 '07

How beautifully offensive. I'd wear it.

eddieweird on Mar 19 '07

ID WEAR THIS ALL THE TIME!!! PRAISE LORD!!!

now how about we speak in some tongues? ;D

TheloniusMnk on Mar 19 '07

I found this saying pretty witty the first time I saw it on a bumper sticker. Now it's a little tired and unoriginal. Well, the bumper stickers and shirts I've seen said "I'm Gay for Jesus" but it's the same premise, just with two different words.

humbleego on Mar 20 '07

Fantastic.

BLAKEGA on Mar 20 '07

I actually did lol that time.

escapism on Mar 20 '07

FUCK yes. I'd wear this in an instant.

HeyHay2989 on Mar 20 '07

I don't like this... gimme a break.

guawr on Mar 21 '07

what the shirt should say is "I would chop off heads for mohammed"

TastesLikeGrandpa on Mar 21 '07

This is the first shirt I've ever liked on threadless that wasn't done by me.

spires on Mar 21 '07

haha! TastesLikeGrandpa = better than gay jesus

Lena E. on Mar 21 '07

hehe, funny!

bonsquano on Mar 21 '07

the underlying meaning to this undermines christianity entierly. congrats, i would wear this proudly if it got printed.

HiiHills on Mar 21 '07

2.23!! whee!!

MyNameIsVex on Mar 23 '07

I thought this would have gotten much better scores. It still needs to be printed. I'm sure some uptight people just gave it zeros. jerks.

Pookque on Jun 24 '07

I laughed. I have seen a few shirts that use supposedly gay colors and employ the use of rainbows as a catch all gay identification. But this one actually put some thought into the design and is damn groovy. My only gripe is the backwards apostrophe, the cloud below "go" looks too similar to the "go" bubble, and "go" and "for" should be a bit bigger. But great job overall.

spires on Jun 24 '07

haha, I just saw the easter egg on here. That's absolutely hilarious Threadless!

you guys are the best!
