it's Arabic, not hebrew.

Yes, it's the language that's wants nothing more than to wipe the other language off the face of the earth! I'm not a fan of this, and I also don't subscribe to J-ray's point of view, in that if it pisses people off, it's worth a five. More like a 1 because it doesn't appeal to me in the least but is well-done. It's not incredibly offensive, just unneccasary.

Uh, no hun. You're thinking of English.


What does the Arabic translate to?

Frankly i wouldnt buy it because throwing Iconic figures etc into political references seems a bit tired..

The arabic doesn't say anything. My roommate read it and said it's just a bunch of random letters. Some of them aren't even letters.

I love the subs that get everybody all pissed off :-D

I also love artists who have great style but absolutely no idea what threadless is likely to print (and will therefore spend the next 6 months waiting to do anything at all with their very decent but out of place art)...
SissyNat
SissyNat on Jul 06 '07
EPIC LULZ.

I don't care if you think I'm ignorant. $5, because laughing at this bull is the first step towards discovering how ridiculous it is.
Zaccix
Zaccix on Jul 06 '07
OE NOEZ THIS SHIRT IS SO OFFENSIVE!

Jeez, political correctness gone mad. Loosen those trousers a bit! This design made me laugh because it's well done, but at the same time ridiculous, and that's what makes it good. I live in the heart of my city's Arab district, and I'd definitely wear this one.

Of course, it's Mario, and it probably won't get printed (can you imagine Nintendo seeing this? They'd flip a nut), but I'm $5'ing it anyway. Lighten up!

Midoriringo on Jul 06 '07
*eh* That's it, it's just *eh*. Yes, it's from the Arabic alphabet, however that means it could also be Farsi(it's not), Pashto, Dari, Azeri ,or even a different Arabic dialect. (yes those are real languages)

Wow, it's the game where each level looks just like the last, and you can never tell if you won or not because there is no prize and the people you are fighting for and against are the same people and there's no way to tell them apart. The object of the game is to use up really expensive equipment killing people until you run out of time or die yourself. And you can buy it for only 500 billion dollars even if you'd rather not. But it's ok because you can charge it and pay the bankers twice as much with interest for the rest of your life. Let's play!

I'm worried by the people who think that simply having Arabic text on a t-shirt is, in itself, offensive. Get passports, people.

drjedipimp
drjedipimp on Jul 09 '07
i'm worried by sparkleshaikh constantly posting "ignorant fools" every time there is a Sub with anything referencing the Arab world. (look it up, at least 3 times that i've seen)

Threadless is located in Chicago, dear.
most of us are American -we can laugh at Allah, or Jesus, or Yaweh, or Buddha to our hearts content. and Saddam/Mario, too!
perhaps if you still lived under Hudood Law you could better appreciate Western infidel freedoms?
please don't accuse "ignorance" without assuaging our ignorance, or you must blame yourself for said ignorance.

PS-i bet if Threadless was a bigger company, they'd make some of their shirts (cheap!) in Pakistan, and then you could complain to the patriarchs of your local Mosque...if they listen to 15 y/o females?

Does anybody know wat it says in arabic? because if it said something truly ironic like "onward Christian soldier" I would so buy this shirt.

lurzaloser
lurzaloser on Jul 10 '07
its nice, but wut does the arabic translates to?
*skipped to many arabic classes*
Gaff
Gaff on Jul 10 '07
I'm going to say I think I agree with the person above who said the Arabic text doesn't actually say anything, unless it's very badly typed. The first letter doesn't have any dots above or below it, and therefore isn't really a letter. There are other things in there that don't make sense either. I might be proved wrong if we get provided with a close-up, but our artist is staying silent...

This is funny btw.

pairoffairies on Jul 10 '07
I really like it, but nonsense foreign looking characters is LAME. It needs to actually say something and do it properly. I would have 5ed you, but now I want to give you nothing. I will split the difference.

Really great concept.

Matchhead1984 on Jul 11 '07
Have you ever seen the movie CRASH. Thats whats going on here. People just want to push each other. Make fun of your own culture, that takes some brain work.
skafiend007
skafiend007 on Jul 11 '07
Matchhead, making fun of our "own" culture is representedby about 90 percent of the shirts here, if not more. There have been tons of anti-Bush shirts, anti-American corporation shirts (McDonald's Starbucks, gas guzzling cars, etc.) Some are good, some are not. But people here do take pokes at the US on a fairly regular basis. Just saying...
