About my design

by edesee
Just like all child actors. Elmo from sesame street falls from the limelight only to grow up disturbed in a sad sad world and joins all other emo kids on myspace, posting up his poems of heartache and self taken pictures at high angles. Cheer up Elmo. maybe someone needs to tickle him.

HAHA!!! That's great! The sole thing I'd change is the state. Sesame Street's in New York, not California

didnt know sesame street was in NY. I was even gonna look it up, but I figured it didnt pertain to any state so I made it up.

I hate to be the one to point this out, but I have a 5 year old son, so I feel qualified.



Elmo wouldn't say "Me wish me was dead." Grimlock the Dinobot would say that if he were emo.



Elmo just refers to himself in the third person, so he would say, "Elmo wishes he was dead."

Oops. It didn't like my less than three hearts. Anywho, bad ass! But yeah, Elmo just talks in the third person =)
edesee
edesee on Oct 09 '06
lol. yeah I thought about writing it in third person. but then wouldn't it be "Elmo wish Elmo was dead" ? that didnn't sound right to me. and " elmo wish he was dead" could be interpreted as elmo wishing someone else was dead. that's why I wrote it like that...grimlock. lol. I forgot about him.
Obergeist
Obergeist on Oct 10 '06
"Elmo wishes Elmo was dead" Is what it would be referring in third person.

honestly, i don't like this. i don't think Elmo's drawn very well, and i think the design just could've been better if done differently. i wouldn't wear this, and i can't see this being on a shirt.

I've seen an Emo Elmo before and I'm not all that entusiastic about it (some people clearly are though!). Nice touch to give it a MySpace look.

AliceKat
AliceKat on Oct 10 '06
Wow. So I really really hope this gets printed. I would wear this EVERYWHERE. Along with the suggestions about the state and that third person thing, I'd like to see this on something other than black. Pretty spiffy. $5 + Buy. Hope it gets printed!

NivelNad
NivelNad on Oct 11 '06
ha, love it. if it wouldn't be so big with this, it'd be funny with comments from other characters. Like the grouch guy in the garbage can would say like, i wish you were dead too, etc. depending on different character personalities. but as i said, that'd probably make the design too big.

edesee
edesee on Oct 12 '06
I've only been on threadless for a little over a month so I wouldn't know. but what I do know is that this idea was mine. Im sure others have thought up emo elmo before but I haven't seen any. especially ones put up with a myspace theme.

Ha Ha. yeah It seems like it's the emo kids that don't seem to like this too much. I think they should cheer up... no one is beyond being made fun of.

Duchamp
Duchamp on Oct 14 '06
you know, everytime i heard 'emo,' i thought 'elmo.' LOL.

i like this, but would have to agree that elmo is fuzzy, Sesame St. is in NY, and he would say "Elmo wish Elmo dead" (because every other damn word elmo says is "elmo" - making me wish he was dead too).

freetaco
freetaco on Oct 16 '06
I really like this shirt!



I would suggest also that that instead of the "me wish" language, it should be "elmo wish elmo dead". Elmo talks in the 3rd person. But then, I am a purist.



Sadly, I don't think this would ever get printed due to copyright. But excellent work.
