please research the controversies regarding the abercrombie/'two wongs can make it white' tee and the adidas/'ray fong' shoe and reconsider this sub in light of these two incidences.
amble
amble on Jun 30 '06
But those became controversies because both were perceivably lauding a general Asian stereotype. This is a parody of a single, specific man and his work. The situations are entirely different.

Anyhow, I think this is funny, though I wouldn't wear it. Three.

$5. I need this shirt (but not on red). I'll take it on white or gray.

This is actually pretty clever, and as an honourary Chinese person, I would happily wear this.

How do you mean honorary chinese person squintygirl? No one person should speak on behalf of a ethnicity, especially if you aren't that ethnicity. But back to the shirt, I think it's clever. 3.

Ummm. This shirt is entirely amazing. For everyone who takes offense, please look on the lighter side of things.

$5.

Funny idea, but not executed very well. It doesn't help that Bruce Lee is almost a deity to me.
ainoko
ainoko on Jun 30 '06
Great. I love the idea.

However, it needs a little touch-up. Nothing major, just a few messy lines etc... And his face looks a little wierd. Other than that, i'd buy it.

this is hilarious and i hope no one would be offended! as one of those half japanese girls (;) i take no offence. but maybe i need to be chinese to really judge. anyway i realllllly like it!!!!! id buy it for my dude $5
parabolic
parabolic on Jul 01 '06
This is hilarious! I like it a lot, but I would like it more if the 'janitor' didn't look so traced. Right now the caution sign looks more 3D than he does. Very nice overall, and a good improvement over your first two versions.

*sarahbellum427* I am an honourary Chinese person because my husband is Chinese. I'm pretty sensitive to what he finds either amusing or offensive (which, by extension, amuses or offends me), and this design is something he would find very amusing.

I'm Bruce Lee's dad & I take no offense. Except that the kid could never mop for sh*t. I can do w/out the sign & text, tho. 4.

whoever thinks this would be offensive needs to get their head out of their overly-PC ass.

awesome shirt.

artchemist
artchemist on Jul 04 '06
i like the idea. But PLEASE do not use Bruce Lee's image, the man is a TRUE legend. I feel it's kinda insulting. The man should never be used for novelty purposes. What'd he do to you?
PeacemakerSaya
PeacemakerSaya on Jul 04 '06
pretty cool, needs some touching up though before printing. and i dont think its offensive at all...the irony comparing it to old chinese kung-fu movies just kills me XD ill give it a $5

ljluense
ljluense on Jul 05 '06
I'll second bowdownyou's suggestion of using only the caution sign. It'd be more simplistic and focus on the actual concept. I think the shirt would resonate with a much larger general population and also not offend anyone.
jonponder
jonponder on Jul 05 '06
I agree that it's a brilliant idea, but not executed very well. I suggest simplifying the image. Maybe with less colors, and a little more stylized. It looks like it was copied directly from a photo instead of drawing it from scratch.
dfomachine
dfomachine on Jul 05 '06
Wouldn't there be legal issues with using Bruce Lee's likeness?
Not drawn very well.
maximumbob
maximumbob on Jul 05 '06
/me is confused...

I thought you could only have up to 4 unique colors... Or does the color that is the same as the shirt not count when used within another color.

this is super sick.

it's original, it's bruce lee, it's beautiful.

imarriedmyheadphones on Jul 06 '06
the "master of custodial arts" is a big part of the design, but it'll probably be hella small on the shirt.

somehow make "master of custodial arts" more visual somehow?

I don't know what everyone's on about.

It's a pretty poor illustration. Especially compared to your "I heard it through the..." sub.
