I would love this. it would piss my 'lefty bore' dad off no end
dimmak
dimmak on Feb 27 '06
Actually, this sides with the lefties of the world, as they are considered to use the right side of the brain. So your 'lefty bore' dad wins this round! Great design and concept...although it might confuse the righties a little bit. They'll probably buy it and not even know that they are, instead, promoting lefties :)

I dunno. As a solidly left-brained person I wouldn't wear this shirt. I wholehearted appreciate that this world needs both types so I find the "no contest, right beats left every time" thing unrealistic.

I can't figure out what the fuss is about:

The right side of the brain controls the left hand, and is said to handle all the creative processes, intuition, &c. The left side controls the right hand and logical processes.

So if the shirt is left (brain) vs. right (brain), and thus says the right (brain) with its color and implusiveness beats the stolid left brain, where's the problem with the facts?

In other news: four because I like it a great deal, but I'd never buy it (I'm a thorough blend of the two sides, though right-handed, and it appeals to strongly to the martyr-complexed "artsy" kids at my school).

Thank you, Metsuki! I couldn't figure out why everyone got so confused either. And thanks to everyone who said nice things.

I'm actually a blend of both myself, right handed, artsy, etc. But I still am a fan of the right brain.

so, would an ambidextrous be an mad scientist who turns people into crazy paintings or a sculptor who incorporates math into every work?

Great design, hate the message. "Who cares about facts?" No.
timrb
   timrb on Feb 28 '06
Now that I think of it, there's a bit of a political edge to it, too, intentional or not. (Although some would agree with the point about the "right's" complete ignorance of facts....)

Most people think political when they see somethin' like this. Good concept, but maybe try to redesign it so that you don't need the little disclaimer?

It's not so much "who cares about facts", it's more about how man overcomes problems, despite having the facts say they can't.

I did not foresee this controversy. Yikes.

I like this shirt, Skipper. It's my favorite of your JOT designs.

I_heart_ducks on Feb 28 '06
That's really predjudiced. You think that because right-handed people are the majority, that gives you the privilege to outright say that you're better than the minority? It's just... so mean.

IT'S TALKING ABOUT RIGHT-BRAINED.

Damnit, everyone, get a clue.
Notor!ousD!no
Notor!ousD!no on Feb 28 '06
I think if you just left the text as no contest, it'd be better. let your design speak for itself, not the fine print.
zarapants
zarapants on Feb 28 '06
it's a good thing that right-brained people invented computers and the internet. No contest!

Black and white photos?
The beauty of science? Fractals?
The human spirit supercedes fact? Which is why the world is painting instead of starving and fighting?

I'm all pro-creativity and all... I guess I'm just not the right audience for this shirt. The design's alright, though.

I love the idea...
but...it would be taken as a political stand around here. Beautiful.
Not the right time though
Good luck

I would make the left on the the shirt wearers left, and not the viewers left...so in other words, i'd switch left and right.

also a funny illustration of our current national culture war. oh, wait: this is actually an endorsement of right wing claptrap! i almost couldn't tell because of the CUTE RAINBOW LETTERS!

yes: the human spirit beats science, especially with cell phones penicilin refrigeration electricity antibiotics sunscreen etc etc etc etc

thenew_zero on Mar 02 '06
I like the concept, but fall into the left category. I also automatically thought this was a political statement, just because I hear left and right associated with politics more than anything else these days. I fall into the left category there too.... and god forbid anyone think otherwise if i wore this shirt *grin*

I'm a left-handed person who uses the left side of my brain more apperantly because I find fact > fantasy.
Oh well, to each their own. I think a picture of a brain may make the message more clear. Otherwise it first strikes as a political statement and second as a "Haha, righties are better than lefties!".
pokki
pokki on Mar 04 '06
people that are left-handed have more of a chnce to think with the right side of their brain, and vice versa, I'm left-handed, and I draw, when you use the right side of your brain, it makes you think in more of shape instead of how things are "supposed to look," which uses your left side. I find it easier to use my right side than my left side...I'm not sure...my art teacher told me it was because of opposition...but I'm just saying that right DOESN'T ALWAYS prevail over left...because of opposition...but you still get a 5 for being creative... =]
etherealbranches
etherealbranches on Mar 04 '06
I love this. I wouldn't buy it, however, because of the unintentional political undercurrent that exists underneath the text.

I couldn't have people thinking I was a Republican, could I?
ajimmykid
ajimmykid on Mar 04 '06
right wouldnt be anywhere without left, and vise versa. but way to polarize humanity.
PrettyLostGirl
PrettyLostGirl on Mar 04 '06
Stick a picture of the brain on the back, or as a background on the front.
Anything to end confusion!!

Because I really like this shirt. I got it without reading the comments.
Righties use thier right side of the brain too!

tikitikiwoohah on Mar 04 '06
i understood it right away.
but in my opinion, balace is needed. not just "right is better than left. end of story.", so i wouldnt buy it. besides, i have recently come to terms with the fact that i'm more left brained. (although i think i have a decent amount of right-ness in there too)

It's just a shirt! I'm not saying "Oh shit! Everything left brain related is useless! Facts aren't worth shit! You don't need to know things if you're creative!" I just like creativity! I like balance, keep in mind, this is a t-shirt, you tightasses.

But thanks to those who enjoy it, too!
