hehe funny! I saw a picture ones... very nice! maybe the cookies need some more attention, maybe some texture or something? and the paper banner could be a little less "clean" when it come out the cookie. Nice work though!

... It was dog. $5

human_no110289 on Jul 24 '06

nunzilla on Jul 24 '06

staffell on Jul 24 '06

papersky on Jul 24 '06

seen it before

emily27 on Jul 24 '06

even though the idea wasn't original, it was translated to a tee very nicely. it would have been nice for the artist to give credit where credit is deserved though..

Hmm red seems to work better for me. Great concept here

paranoid_Wench on Jul 25 '06

this looks very familiar like i have seen it before...

dharker on Jul 25 '06

I never saw any other image of this concept. Just me and my ego thinking I'd thought up soemthing original. Serves me right for thinking.

tm3 on Jul 25 '06

While the phrase has perhaps been used before elsewhere, I have never seen a t-shirt design visualizing the concept. I think it is nicely executed. I would proudly wear it while having some vegetarian fried rice.

Alex M. Solefish on Jul 25 '06

red, please. 4

Mambolica on Jul 25 '06

It's a great translation of an old (and racist) joke.

I wouldn't wear it - but it's a good design. 4.

It's been done.

megt on Jul 25 '06

can anyone be so kind as to tell me what kind of program do people typically use to make these graphics? I have alot of ideas but i dont think i have the resources to make them. thanks a bunch

This was scanned in from a sketch which was used as a guide in Adobe Illustrator.

Funny!

Mazy Mallone on Jul 26 '06

haha, pretty funny ... specially since i always worry about that kind of thing.

Looneygirl on Jul 26 '06

Hahaha!! Although I love chinese food!!

niiiiiicccceeeee

I like the concept, even if other people have seen it before, they should at least go through the trouble to tell you where they've seen it. I agree with the first comment. Cookie needs some more attention and the paper is usually a little crinkled or torn at edges.

morning entry on Jul 26 '06

excellent. i hope it was an original idea

galaxiepi on Jul 27 '06

Yep, this is definitely an almost exact imitation of a widely-distributed print ad that later received a fair amount of internet circulation.

My guess is that you saw it once and forgot it, and here it reappeared. Too bad, the subconscious is a bitch on copyright. ;)

ptabor on Jul 27 '06

its not original? Ahh damn, I liked it too...

NaughtyPoppet on Jul 27 '06

Freakin' Hilarious!!! I'd buy it!

Sinister_Sock_Puppet on Jul 27 '06

There isn't any doubt this is STOLEN! People like you make my sinister sock puppet heart sick. SICK! What does that say about you, then? You make me sick and I'm supposed to be the sinister one! This stolen design brings disgrace to us all. Every other Threadless member at least TRIES to create something original. You didn't even TRY! You lazy thieving ASS! You are dead to me now. Dead. DEAD!

Sinister_Sock_Puppet on Jul 27 '06

By the way, I was just goofin' around a bit with that previous comment. Seriously though, my little sinister sock puppet heart is weeping.

Hazelip on Jul 27 '06

leprechan, you should try a reading comprehension course...

dharker on Jul 28 '06

Ah, hindsight is such a bitch.

Again, I thought it was an original idea when I submitted the design, but it obviously isn't in the end. Had I seen the original ad I wouldn't have submitted the design or bothered making it in the first place. My appologies to the original art director who came up with the ad and to the members of threadless.
