That isn't a particularly detailed paint roller. Make it more convincing?

um.....no.

someone else posted a design based off of the same iconic image.

shuddupdali llamma this is awesome yes yes yes yes yes

WORD i would wear this to death 5

That's what they were doing at Iwo Jima; just trying to film the pilot episode of Extreme Makeover: Axis of Evil Edition. No wonder that show never got on the air...

no

hm. kinda disrespectful ya think? ok idea but im not diggin the non-detail.

I think dropping bombs and killing thousands of innocent people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was kinda disrespectful too.

This kind of design has been seen again and again (even if not with a paintroller). I don't really understand what the hell is going on in there or why they feel the need to paint their sky in rainbow colors. The angle of the paintroller is awkward and it makes no sense how those guys would even be painting at that friggin angle. All in all: meh.

ahhhh you guys are destroying me ! ha.

I liked it t first glance. About the whole disrespectful thing...i don't know, were bomarbed wit h these images of patriotism and veteran glory...it's almost like brainwash, it think it's good to turn it into a light hearted mokery...it's not as if its a joke about a Warchild.
I still like it :)

*we're, *with, *I, *mockery...awright for typos!

i think this image has way to much importance to be used like this, its a fine line to use it well. i would research it more before using it again.

this is just like shirts that say " J.C. is my homeboy "
i think the people that are offended by this are taking themselves too seriously...

bit too banksy for me... nice idea though

neonlove- if you think that attack was disrespectful why would you make a shirt using one of the most iconic images from that war?

I didn't put a picture of bombs dropping on houses... the design is obviously not in promotion of anything related to it.

thats like asking why somebody who's anti-bush or anti-anybody would make a design with his / their face on it...

:\

Being in the military myself, i dont like this at all. That statue represents iwo jima, not rainbows. 0$

i never saw a rainbow like this, heh. Anyhow, rainbows are pretty neutral...they're positive if anything...
Are we also opposed to a mustache on the Mona Lisa:

i'm done my schpeel
i got carried away a little

i dont know, i dont like how its so detailess.

but I also don't like when people are in the military.
point it out.
and then act like freedom of speech or ideas doesn't count if its against the military.
it's great your fighting for your country and all.
but iraq and vietnam werent threatening to take away anybodys freedom of speech, so you didnt really give it to us.

4. (maybe)$

This looks Sooo cool, I think they are trying to make a rainbow....

maybe the milatary rainbow of love???

I think it's great, although maybe use brighter colours instead of pastels?

but I also don't like when people are in the military.
point it out.
and then act like freedom of speech or ideas doesn't count if its against the military.

So Im not aloud to have freedom of speech when it comes to threadless? All i said was that it bothered me, woopie, like my one vote is going to make a difference. The design is ok, just not adding the statue.

pastel rainbow's are awesome.

yeah, i dont think she was saying I dont have a right to post it.
just her opinion.

I really like this. I can't believe people are like, trying to start a controversy over it. its a nice positive, peaceful spin on a war image, and quite frankly, it makes me deeply happy.

um... i like this. It's simple but it makes a statement (along with a lot of other designs I've seen) and thats what you want graphic tees to do. You want people to notice them and do a double take. Otherwise its just another abercrombie t-shirt. The people who leave these ridiculous comments kill me.
