All that glitter is not gold, the struggle of the wrong t-shirt


The origin of the T-Shirt is obscure, claims reach at least from California to Great Britain and from 1913 to 1948, and it was most likely a slow development during that time. Most researches mention the possibility that the idea of the T-shirt came to the United States during World War I, when US soldiers noticed the light cotton undershirts European soldiers were using while the US soldiers sweated in their wool uniforms. Since they were so much more comfortable they quickly became popular among the Americans, and because of their design they got the name T-shirt. T-shirts were originally worn as undershirts. This still occurs, but T-shirts are now also frequently worn as the only piece of clothing.

T-shirts have also become a medium for self-expression and advertising, with any imaginable combination of words, art and even photographs on display. The early 2000s saw the renewed popularity of T-shirts with slogans and designs with a strong inclination to the humorous or ironic. The trend has only increased later in this decade; embraced by celebrities, such as Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. I don’t expect you to be either one of those celebrities but I will expect some kind of self respect and dignity on your part, when is about the messages of your t-shirt.

A few examples of what I have seen lately, and I am not joking!
* I am a bitch and you have 60 years old and look like you don't kill an ant? Please!!!

* What about this? “All that glitter is not gold”, of course not! Grease glitter, especially when you have it in your face, like you don’t wash it for months. If you have been neglecting your appearance for a century, don't wear a T-shirt with the previous message, please! You are insulting the designer intentions. You will be better off with one like this; “Like I really care”, which tell the entire world that you don’t give a damn if you look like a sloppy hillbilly.

* What about this one, "Sexy Mama", cool right? Only one problem, it doesn't look good on a 10 year old. Parents should be sent to counseling.

* What about this one, “I am so happy, I could just shit”; interesting, right? I know some people get really happy when they clean their intestines, but the one who has the audacity to wear that T-shirt had more matter in his colon than Elvis Presley, and a face with such an attitude, like he didn't use the bathroom for decades.


As always, somebody has to overcome everybody else, and it was a blond woman, she was wearing this shirt, “Who needs boys, when I have toys”; but she was the mother of seven and seven that didn’t look alike. I didn't get it, as far I know toys cant spermatizide anybody.


I have to admit I love messages T-shirts, I have to wear my uniform, but if I could wear a T-shirt to work, it will say something like this: Stupid PeoplePiss ME OFF; or DO I look like a fucking people person? Sorry, I have to be honest!
