He's dead!

Funny idea. I just don't think I would pay money for a dead kid on my chest, but that this just me.

This would be awesome for those people obsessed with ultimate.

I will buy this for all of my friends. This is excellent!!! $5$5$5 Side note: hanging is a little morbid and having trouble right now as a respected way of death in the PC world. I'd consider leaving him tangled instead. Don't get me wrong- If you don't change this, I will still buy it. I will just be a little more cautious about where I wear it :)

I absolutely love this one, it is incredibly cynical. But I do agree with theangeli, tangled would give more laughs and be substantially more politically sensitive.

ultimate obsessed people don't want people dead, fyi

i laughed when i saw this but yeah, im voting for 'tangled kite' rather than 'dead kid'
wish-ga
wish-ga on Nov 07 '07
Conflicted. Beautiful image but couldn't wear it.


Would hate to offend anyone or trigger some awful memory..... if was a tangled angel it would have a different meaning for me and take me to a different place.
anoidiona
anoidiona on Nov 07 '07
beautifully done... but i can see how ppl will have a problem w/ the hanging though... rather controversial i must say..
insula
insula on Nov 07 '07
Yeah, the hanged kid is a bit morbid. I could even go for a electrocuted kid on the ground -- maybe he's just knocked out, you know? But this kid is definitely dead. Nice black humor with the birds though.
akaMazi
akaMazi on Nov 07 '07
The aforementioned morbidity aside, it seems more probable and funnier if he were hanging, all tangled with limbs askew, than a noose-style hanging.

how did that bugger get caught up there... hmm...

I'd pay money for a dead kid on my chest, but not a picture of a dead kid.

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...no thanks.

chicas on Nov 07 '07
i agree with everyone who's suggested just to make him tangled... i think it's a little too morbid otherwise.
soco1187
soco1187 on Nov 07 '07
I think you should make him getting electrocuted from the ground instead. =] If that was the case, I'd buy.
4rch3nemy
4rch3nemy on Nov 07 '07
NO WAY.

Keep him dead. This is exactly something Threadless needs is some more morbid stuff. I mean, it doesn't all have to be rainbows and unicorns and humanized objects with happy faces.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!

4rch3nemy on Nov 07 '07
Maybe add a few birds sitting on the wire too? It'd be funny. :)

Not funny.

Yeah, of all things to tout the dangers of in this world and make a joke out of, i gotta go with telling kids that playing with kites outside will kill them.

im lovin this shirt $5 for sure
4rch3nemy
4rch3nemy on Nov 08 '07
T-shirts are SERIOUS BUSINESS

Anything but death on a shirt! I guess we better scrap this one and go with a rabbit getting eaten by a carrot.
(my idea is so original on threadless!!)
Wag Wah
Wag Wah on Nov 08 '07
I'd like this a lot more without the "play frisbee" text at the bottom. 5$ regardless though.

starsof1889 on Nov 09 '07
very cool...nice use of simplicity...however i would lose the text...let the onlooker wander about the situation and come up with their own assessment...it's more fun that way.
slothesarecool
slothesarecool on Nov 09 '07
No, the text needs to be there. I think it is funnier that way especially for those areas truly obsessed with ultimate. The words belong in this case!
laurenokura
laurenokura on Nov 09 '07
hilarious.
hellofromthemoon
hellofromthemoon on Nov 09 '07
1. please please please keep the text

2. i'd buy this anyway but still, hanging seems a bit much.

sorry for just saying what everyone else said again, but i would really love this design if you just did those 2 things : ]

yarmouth on Nov 09 '07
it does bring bad memories
myredemption
myredemption on Nov 10 '07
Very clever but not sure if I'd wear it...
MoveTheClouds
MoveTheClouds on Nov 10 '07
Morbid much?

The kid-tangled-in-string idea is much better. Makes me think of that round-headed kid, Charlie Brown.
neon electric
neon electric on Nov 10 '07
I don't find dead kids really amusing, but it's a well executed design.

I wouldn't wear it at the risk of maybe offending a lot of people, but I agree with the posters above who have said to make the boy tangled up instead.
SoldierofGondor
SoldierofGondor on Nov 10 '07
Its a funny design, but as stated, maybe tangled would be a bit better.
Ellsswhere
   Ellsswhere on Nov 10 '07
^^at maybe offending a lot of people?? what people with dead kids

the hanging part is strange, tangled just seems more "natural" but as a frisbee freak and a kite freak 5$
neon electric
neon electric on Nov 11 '07
No, at the risk of offending people who have lost their kites due to such accidents.

It's all quite serious.
ffernando
ffernando on Nov 11 '07
this is pretty damn awesome even if it is a little morbid. keep everything as is.

5. i'd give it a 6 if i could.

I really like the design and concept but its not something I'd wear becasue its kinda morbid

I like it. It's messed up, but still pretty cool. Nice design anyway.
freshview
freshview on Nov 11 '07
I'd rather he wasn't dead and maybe just very tangled.
mandodeb
mandodeb on Nov 11 '07
I'd go for trapped, temporarily helpless kid... I do need a little sense of hope here. A friend of mine took a parachuting class and a woman "landed" on power lines, so maybe I'm too sensitive about this rendering.
mandodeb
mandodeb on Nov 11 '07
But I'm still giving it a 4 for electrical "execution"...

This is awesome! don't change a thing
imogenisabelle
imogenisabelle on Nov 12 '07
I think it's beautifully beautifully done but I always get a bit creeped out by silhouetted suicide (really weird observation but yeah, having faceless teenagers killing themselves has been done before but doesn't really hit the right spot with me), so if it were tangled I would like to buy this, but as it stands I personally wouldn't wear it (though, once again, awesome illustration)
thedarrien
thedarrien on Nov 12 '07
really sad, but the "Play Frisbee" thing at the bottom makes it hilarious. amazing.

If this doesn't get printed is there a way I could pay you to make me one anyway?

For some reason, dead man instead of dead kid actually makes it a bit better. giving it a 4

Dead kid is more jarring than dead man. I like dead kid.
ihateSugarmakesmeRush
ihateSugarmakesmeRush on Nov 14 '07
I like how this is the absolute worst case scenario.. not only is there eletricution but the kid also manages to get the cord rapped around his neck and ultimately strung up.. wicked.. but i wouldn't wear it.
