SOOOOOOOOOOO much better conceived and worthy of being printed than your "dixie wrecked" joke tee! It won't go over well here, but this is one of the few logo parodies that i've actually enjoyed in a while. Plus, it isn't a drug reference.

i like how people disregard the notions of class and racial equality as something OTHER than liberal ideals and philosophies. if the world remains conservative as it's going now, "we'll" be relinquishing "our" rights very soon to the narrow elite that will run everything.



oh yeah, but "we" get to vote and decide in the presidential outcome each year......nigga please

this is a very good idea..though many of the people here seem to think it wont work on this site..so through power of suggestion, this might not do so hot. but im sure if you submit this design elsewhere it will definately recieve a better response.

This gets a nice 0.



I agree on the war philosophy, I just think it could have been better handled. Since we are already in, we might as well stay... "Cutting and Running" won't fix anything, it will make it worse.

I don't think this is a Threadless shirt. Maybe some other site, but it just doesn't seem to belong. Don't get me wrong. Interesting, but just not the right vibe. Like the one person said, political tees don't go too well. Generalized positions are welcomed, but not so specifically anti.

well, i love it, and think its probably one of the best designs here, not just because of its message (which i do agree with) but because the design is a great play off of a piece of pop-culture and american icon, the wendy's sign. i think this was a great idea with great execution. its a shame people here won't print a shirt that picks sides.

o, and brobaz? grab you hair with both hands, make sure you have a nice, firm grip, and quickly, in one swift motion, pull your head buried out of your ass.

Whatever dudes, I don't give a crap about what goes on in politics. I just wanted to create some tension on one of these discussion boards, because they are so boring. This one just looked like an easy target. Early on in my life I realized that no two sides will agree with each other on political issues. It has never happened and it never will.

As usual the best thing about political subs is the comments that follows. The sub is good concept, well executed but won't sell outside the U.S because Wendy's are exclusive to U.S culture. I wonder what % of shirt sales are outside the States and whether Threadless take this into consideration when choosing which to print.

okay guys, are you scoring the design or the politics? I'm confused. As an aussie i don't really get the pop culture references, but i assume it's accurate for americans to get the references. 3 for the design. for the politics... i go to another forum .

Bush + Bin Laden = Best Buddies for over 25 years! Wake Up People! 9/11 Was a LIE and if you think that BUSH is awesome, then you must be either blind, or in denial. Please wake up...I would buy this shirt, but it should go on www.shirtswithballs.com. This is my 5 cents worth.

Have a great day!

Try not capitalizing your letters and making typos... It's more convincing that way, I think.

To the person who incorrectly tried to correct my grammar. "Growing deficits is our recipe" is a correct statement. Plug it into a word doc if you don't believe me. Or, so you might understand it better, replace "deficits" with "tomatoes"... you wouldn't say "Growing tomatoes are our recipe"... But to be honest, it was based 100% on the slogan "Quality is our recipe" and grammar was not considered in the design.

"If liberals ruled the world, we'd all be dead by now."



Fourtunately, as it stands now, the only people dying are innocent Iraqui civilians and our soldiers. *wipes forhead* whew! Thank God for those conservatives!
splendagirl
splendagirl on Aug 12 '07
But actually... I think this is this shirt has generated the most interesting discussions I've ever read on threadless, largely in part to BrobAz playing the Devil's Advocate (Whoo! Unintended pun... Bush is the Devil. Nice)

Here's the thing though: I don't like Bush and I don't like the War, and in general people with strong political opinions either way frighten or annory me, but try to be nice to each other, please? (In other words, attack each others opinions, not each other personally.)

I think Bush works as a red head. I like it, but I would like it better if you had Cheney there instead, since Bush is just his puppet.

I debated using Cheney, but it came down to a "hair" decision. That Wendy's girl has a full head of red hair and I couldn't pass up seeing Bush in drag. Priceless.

This is more of a tshirthell.com type of thing if it doesn't go over well here you should try there.

Witerabbit on Aug 13 '07
funny. I usually try not to wear my politics on my sleeve and I've found it nearly pointless to argue with the Squares. People who like bush don't listen to reason and blatantly ignore reality. (so maybe they wouldn't even notice the shirt.) So maybe I would wear it, not try to explain it and enjoy their discomfort.

3, b/c I think the graphics could be more refined

dang, I saw the corner of the wendys symbol and clicked on it expecting a witty design. Instead, I found the same thing that they say on CNN every morning pasted onto a t-shirt. I am disappointed.
