No excuses, it's just wrong.

Usually the fashion choice of youngish men and girls who haven't worked out their chest will attract attention anyway, the Comedy t-shirt makes me cringe.

Don't misunderstand, I love a printed T-shirt but I'm talking about pattern or a particularly recognisable slogan or logo, something that is recognisable but not distracting.  I'll be honest if I wanted something to read, I'd have picked up a paper on the way to the pub, for that does seem to be where you see the most of them.  Maybe that is my problem with them, I want to know what they say and invariably don't want to be caught staring at the person wearing it.  I understand the principal of irony and all the other excuses, but lets be honest the problem with people who 'reject fashion' and go their own way is that invariably they all look the same and it isn't a good look.  The reality is that these t shirts cost more and are worse quality than most things available on the Highstreet, and they detract from who you are.  Having said that if you feel the most interesting thing about you can fit into a slogan on a t-shirt then maybe it's the right choice for you. (That's harsh but fair).  So next time you see a slogan that you think perfectly describes you buy the fridge magnet version and spend the rest of your money on anything else.

There are so many better ways of telling people who you are than these obvious and invariably offensive articles of clothing.  Illustrating an affiliation, to a band or even an experience you had, is more interesting and might even be the start to a conversation.  Don't let the people judge you unfairly just because it's wash day.  People may look at the slogan and think "hah, funny", but they aren't going to talk to you because of it.

Relegate these t shirts to the pyjama or gym only pile, please for my sake.  They bring out my bitchiest tendencies and this is not a side of myself I like very much.
