You Are What You Wear. Be Funny

I like T-Shirts a lot. They're comfortable and you can wear them with anything. Admittedly, they are a little casual for most situations but that should stop you from having a personal catalogue of "go to's."

The internet has caused a mass proliferation of T-shirts. Some of them funny, some of them offensive and most of them comfortable. This second go at the internet economy has been fuelled by two things: Advertising dollars and user submissions. YouTube, Facebook, Second Life are all examples of sites that are built by the people who view the pages, not the people behind the pages.

The people who started Threadless applied the same concept to T-Shirt design. The site is really an ongoing design competition and people are constantly submitting their ideas. If the design is selected by the Threadless staff, then it goes for sale on the web site. With so many user submissions, you're sure to get a couple of gems and the shirts available keep changing.

Right now I'm a rather big fan of this particular shirt. It's one of a few that made me laugh. The only issue with these tee's is that they're printed on 50/50 blend shirts. Threadless Select tee's are 100% cotton.
