extraneous icthus? check. Symmetrical crosses? check. Witless pun? check. Random bible passage? check. Anthropomorphic animals wearing rosaries? check. This will be perfect for our next women’s conference.

For added entertainment, read the synopsis about how “inspired” this design is.

Hey Mike, I saw a shirt at Macy’s that had a cute little owl on it, how can we jesus-ify it? It’s OK to run out of ideas.

Misspelled words, bold text and the spraypaint effect in photoshop to not a good shirt make. Pray, rattle and roll, brothers!

Jesus loves defacing property too! YAY!

Let’s make a shirt that is so lame that no one will care to sue for copyright infringment.

 My pastor loves it when I wear words on my boobs… it shows my true level of devotion to Christ and his teachings. Otherwise known as bad girl gone tacky.

When Disney’s lawyers don’t serve you for this, you know that you really… really messed this junk up.

I think the fact that this is probably literally possible bothers me more than the actual shirt. When you friend Jesus on facebook, stop to think about what wackjob actually created that profile.

But wait, there’s more. This shirt comes with jorts and a goatee if you order in the next seven minutes!

Picking on this shirt would be like grading preschooler’s coloring pages or keeping score at a teeball game.

 

Evil: http://www.christianbook.com/evil-enemy-shirt-black-extra-large/pd/8355XL?event

Hi! My name is Jerard and my favorite topic is Bible numerology. I’m raising money for semenary and I was wondering if you would like to join my obscure biblical patterns fanclub. The Tshirts are really Hawt.

Once the collective “we” decided that letting Christians drink and smoke was a good idea, justification for the aftermath evolved into this tshirt.

Religion: I’ve seen this several places

okay… do you really think this will start a conversation with a non-believer or just annoy all quick-tempered slow-reading christians?

This would look great under a pair of acid wash overalls, if they still made those heinous pants-con-bib. When then, didn’t this shirt leave with the 90s?

Tony! Get back in the cereal.

Summarize, rinse and repeat… wait, that’s how you wash a tshirt not how you design one.

 

Best weekend ever: http://www.christianbook.com/best-weekend-ever-shirt-blue-large/pd/8771L?event=

This is cool in the way that “Extreme Days” was cool. Have you seen that movie? Should you wear this shirt? Same answer for both.

“I yam what I yam” is what Popeye would say as he runs away from this 3XL catastrophe.

 

Snark away!

Tea bag curtain

Author: Dani  //  Category: by design

Something about making a curtain out of tea bags appeals to me. The design is attractive and seems like it would smell nice. I don’t know how practical this is as a long-term solution.

what do you think?

beauty vs. beauty

Author: Dani  //  Category: by design

Sometimes, we would redefined beauty as someone or something that makes an intentional effort to draw admiration. (http://coramdeosean.wordpress.com/2009/11/11/are-you-physically-attractive/ ) If one wishes to be noticed for their “inner beauty”, their inner beauty must be profoundly noticeable. Most American humans, trudging around, have more pressing matters to concern them, than noticing inwardly beautiful people.

This is frustrating because flashiness draws our attention. It is the same for inward beauty just as much as it is for outward beauty. The airbrushed supermodel grabs our attention because she is way beyond any of the pretty people that we pass on a daily basis. This is not to say that an un-airbrushed person is ugly. This just shows that we only notice the peculiarly perfect when we are harried. The same is true with the inwardly beautiful. Unless, one is caught in a moment of introspection or bent on finding meaningful moments of joy, a person displaying inward beauty simply will not catch our attention. The man who secretly rakes his elderly neighbor’s yard will not get the same award as the billionaire who funds a school gymnasium.

This is life.

Very much there

androgynous and fashion

Author: Dani  //  Category: by design

I didn’t think androgynous when I saw this article. I saw the clothes and thought, I would wear that. I like the styles that they were showing. It is exciting to think that more of this will be available on the racks.
