RED SCARE!
|
 |
I don't know that I like that this shirt tries to say every American is responsible for all of those things when many Americans (or their ancestors) weren't even here when that stuff happened...
|
 |
I agree with Vice, but I like the concept and execution anyway.
|
 |
It's an interesting concept, but it makes it seem like the American middle class is responsible for all these things...which doesn't really make sense. I don't know, that's just what I get out of it.
|
 |
What's up with the rainbow? Did you do that instead of writing something about gay marriage on one of their shirts? Just kidding…
The visual is a little bit of a stretch along with the writing. Confusing at best (at least from this simple-minded individual). |
 |
the only $5 im giving out today
|
 |
Trust me. We did Hawaii a favor.

spires on Jun 05 '06 Instead of showing a family, show a family of politicians. This would work nicely with an image of Mt. Rushmore.
|
 |
.moto. on Jun 05 '06 good stuff. 4$
|
 |
IDK about this one, I'm still waiting for "More At Eleven" to be printed!
|
 |
they really need a negative score option
|
 |
It looks like you're blaming this average family for stuff that wasn't their fault at all. The rainbow could be cleaner, too.
|
 |
It's a great idea! but I think it would've been more effective to express modern day issues... like innocents dying in our war. American greed while Africa and other nations are starving.... ect.
|
 |
I don't think I'd wear this, but I do like the idea of lumping in the american nuclear family with all those other ridiculous atrocities
|
 |
idea is good
execuion falls on the side of cliche it's funny how education works you find out what happens then you find out who to blame something on and then people can feel better with their pointing fingers talking for the brainless heads. |
 |
<soapbox>This reminds me of reading stuff by Charles Mills about how many many people who are not responsible for terrible things still benefit from them today.</soapbox> So, I like it a lot, but I don't know if I'd wear it because everyone else seems to be getting something else out of it.
|
 |
i really like this. provocative.
|
 |
'Vietnamese War' WTF?
Decent artwork, lousy idea. I'm thinking the only political t-shirt we'll see on Threadless is 'Everyone poops'-and for good reason. |
 |
woah dude, pretty contrversal dont you think?
|
 |
dude. i hate political shirts. seriously.
$0 |
|
I think that this is the only shirt ever that you couldn't wear to an AP history exam
|
 |
yeaah i think it's not witty enough
|
 |
I thought it was rosanne and her tv son.. don't love it so much
|
 |
This is dumb, you suck

Trust me. We did Hawaii a favor. " The same way England did India a favor? People would rather be ruled by their own inept leadership, than the average leadership of someone else. And I know thats not how the quote goes. |
|
If you're going to go this route, I suggest that the people's hair and eyes have no color- more to the point of being "all" americans.
|
 |
i think it would be better if their shirt said family secrets or dirty little secrets like 'im having an affair' or something, to show the real troubles under the illusion of a happy family.
|
 |
This is dumb. I'LL GIVE MY dirty little secret. DONT GO TELLIN ANY ONCE YOUR NAME NOW ITS ANOTHER REGRET.MY DIRTY LITTLE SECRET, WHO HAS TO KNOW?

I don't understand why people are so hostile toward political shirts. I personally think this is a great idea, but I'd prefer a different color.
All these people criticizing the political aspects of this are assholes. |
|
Never seen a shirt that creeped me out before this one, powerful message but a bit too much for my taste.
|
 |
jpiatt on Jun 07 '06 This is about as good as you get. $5, infact....$10, cause I would buy one for a friend of mine who would love it too.
|
|
Shouldn't it be the 'Vietnam War' and not the 'Viatnamese War'? I am not a history expert or anything, but I am pretty sure I'm right here. It kind of discredits your statement when you make a mistake like that.
And for the record I like America. I think it's a swell place to live. |
 |
YeahYeah Vietnam is a country, Viatnamese is a nationality, you are correct. Also the partridge family called they want their rainbow-circle back. Don't forget every freedom aloted to the anglos of America was hard fought and won by the trials of war and alienation. This is offensive not only to the the adverage nuclear American family of which is rapidly shrinking, but to those who fought against and for the tribulations you merely listed as negative space fillers. It takes ownership away from those who suffered and lost ahrd fought battles.
Also speaking soley in regards to the artwork itself conotations aside poor use of space, line weight, color, and repetition. |

scopes monkey trial?
|
|
$5 fo sho
|

This shirt succeeds in being contraversial but fails at making any political statement. A person who wears this shirt proves to everyone that he is a finger-pointing, guilt-mongering, high-minded, better-than-thou, snob. The six year old in the picture has just as much blood on his hands as the person who would wear this shirt.
|
 |
well perhaps it's not saying that all of these atrocities were caused directly by the middle class american family, but rather that to this day people still don't react to what's happening (on a bigger scale) outisde the country and instead go to sears and take family portraits with rainbow backgrounds ........
in any case it's true that whoever wears this shirt will have a pretty poor excuse that he/she is "doing something" about all of this. |
|
Don't you think that it more represents the fact that these things are being pressed upon American families than the families are actually causing all of these things to happen thmselves?
|
 |
nice
|
|
I've lived in Asia, and I've lived in Europe. Americans are the only people in the world that hate their country so much. It's sad really; patriotism in America is dead.
|
 |
I don't know what this says...
Let's all hate middle-class Americans? The end justifies the means? I want to make a political statement by creating and/or wearing a confusing and pointless t-shirt? idk... |
 |
uhh, no thanks.

The same way England did India a favor? Well, maybe not India. But would you say they did Australia a favor? Just out of curiosity. :) |
 |
i'm sure there's a market for this, but i don't think it's threadless. the conceptual problem for me is that aside from the blue eyes, they all look Hispanic to me, which was incredibly confusing.
|
 |
www.freehawaii.com to the person who said we did hawaii a favor, some hawaiians disagree... I'm in Texas so what do I know...
Also, I think its badly exicuted (sp?) but the message has weight to it, and we should really pay good attention to politics and government, since they are what decides our rights and those silly little unimportant things like that. |
 |
I love. $5.
|
|
I actually wouldn't buy this, but I do like it. I wish people didn't automatically hate political shirts. It's immature.
|
|
You're so correct! The boy on the right is obviously at fault for slavery. The bastard will probably grow up to design Tshirts. Then I'll see his Tshirts and not buy them. HA! $5.
|
 |
amelia knoxville, you completely missed the point.
|
 |
Looks kinda creepy to me.
|
|
oh snap.
this is very very nice. LOVE the idea. would love a tee even if this doesnt get printed. |
|
It seems as though this shirt is meant to stir up controversy without saying much of anything really. I wouldn't wear it.
|
 |
The shirt causes controversy just for controversy sake. I prefer to keep my political messages relatively tasteful, I wouldn't buy.
