Shirt.Woot

fastfox wrote:Expressing your personal distaste for this shirt is one thing, but chastising Woot and thereby petitioning them to not produce such designs in the future is another thing entirely. That is analogous to book burning. You destroy books, preventing others from enjoying them, simply because you personally do no agree with the content. There should be no tolerance for this in today's society.

NO storming woot with torchs and smashing thier printers is analogous to book burning. Speaking out against something, petitioning for change, and appealing to common decency are first ammendment rights, and the basis for the civilzation most wooters are currently in.

It it any wonder I lack faith in humanity when people honestly don't see a difference between peaceful civil discourse and violent facist repression?

like everyone said, there'll be a different shirt tomorrow. check back after midnight

Part of me wants to wear this to all my test... but that may be bad!

I so want to wear this to the first day of school. I wonder what my students would say?

You should be in a faculty meeting sometime. This shirt is awesome.

Thanks a lot, everyone ! :D

I'm tired of the holier-than-thous who are so fanatical about nonviolence that one joke about how jolting it is to get an F has got you crapping your pants. If some guy was mugging me on the street, you'd just let me die. Useless. I am all for not picking fights wherever possible, but passivity is quite another matter; you can say it's a virtue all you like, but we adults know better.

As for those of you offended by the unrefined language, *I'm* offended by your fondness for censorship. What you say matters more than the vocabulary with which you say it. Huffing and puffing that YOU would never use THAT kind of language says insulting things about people who do--even when their only offense is using four-letter words and they are otherwise decent people who live decent lives.

I think it's an awesome shirt. I'm not buying it myself because I'm trying to make my money last til two Fridays from now and if I blow moolah on one shirt I'll be justifying more of them. But I wouldn't judge anyone who *did* buy it--and I'm happy for them because they will now be able to weed all the Puritans and posers out of their lives just by the reactions they get to the shirt. I wish it were always that easy.

My grandmother laughed her ass off when I told her about this shirt. Then again I guess I am just blessed to have a 78 year old with a sense of humor had my mom (who in turn had me). Things you find offensive are quite simple to deal with, ignore them. If a t-shirt with an "f-bomb" REFERENCE is the worst thing you (or your grandmother) have to be offended by in any given day, I would suggest googling what is going on in Syria, the rate of homelessness among veterans, the amount of children who go to bed hungry daily, or the fact that American high school students, on average, read at a 5th grade level. Surely something more than a shirt is there to offend you if you look really hard.

Lighten up people! I bought 3, including on for my 7th grader. It is hilarious. I think it is very clever and a nice change from cute kitties (which I love)

This. Great shirt, in for one. Lighten up wooters.

Lighten up people. If you don't like it, don't buy it. That simple. This is tame compared to some of the stuff I see on t-shirts at my high school.

Blame Chaucer if you don't like the F, he started using it in his work back in the 1300's. Oh, and stay far, far away from "The Canterbury Tales" by the same. It may be Classic Literature at its finest, but the F word and fart jokes abound. More than one of my English professors joked that's what really made it classic, not the whole popularizing the use of English instead of Latin and French thing.

It won't pass middle school dress code for the boy, but I'm in for one after I recover from the side sale. I've got at least a week.

Debut day: under 2621, all on imported Anvil blanks. The numbers weren't up until about now, which was already past midnight, so.

Well, I'm officially a terrible parent. I bought this for my 9 year old son, because it's HILARIOUS. The agreement we made is that this is only a weekend shirt. It can not be worn to school/camp.

This is definitely my favorite WOOT shirt ever. I laughed so hard after I saw it!!!

Terrific play on words. This is going to be my new favorite shirt. LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!!!

I wish my parents had been more terrible like this.

You, sir, are an awesome parent. :D

Also, AGAIN, I'd like to thank everyone for checking out and buying my shirt ! Really means a lot to me.

THANK YOU! Reading this thread of holier-than-thou prudes was making sick! I bought this shirt the second I saw it. I'm not a teacher but I do a lot of editing with red pen. I'm so happy I work with like-minded people because I know when I show up wearing this on Friday they are going to crack up.

It's just a word, folks! And it happens to be one of my favorites. :3

I really do want to buy one - badly. I am just not much of a T-shirt girl. Can anyone tell me what the fit is like on these shirts? I like a longer, but fitted t-shirt & I am pretty small in frame (female).

I am a small framed female and I hate the way the girl shirts fit. They are too short for my liking. I always order a guys small and they are perfect.

THIS SHIRT IS fing AWESOME

Is this shirt AA or Anvil? Please say yes... I need badly!

I am so freaking amazed this shirt sold so well ( at least in my eyes ). Thanks a lot, everyone !

This past school year, I was chatting with a seventh-grade student about her plans for the weekend. She said, "Nothing. I'm grounded." I was surprised because she was one of my better behaved kids. I said, "What?! You? Why?" She said, "Because my dad is a d**chebag." Said to a teacher! I didn't laugh at the moment but when I got home I busted a gut.

If you believe this shirt's humor is offensive and low-brow, and children shouldn't be exposed to it, do not spend time around our youth, you'll just be disappointed. I laughed at this shirt and, of course, bought one.

This is funny as hell !!! : )

oh my gosh just awesome shirt no other word needed..haha!
