They seem to be the new trucker hat as of lately. i really hate and want one that says " hate 'clever' shirts", but that would most definetely defeat the porpoise.

What exactly are you referring to? I've probaby seen such shirts around but I don't really pay attention. Could you give an example of a "clever" shirt?

I know someone who has a shirt that says "Me So Corny." That sounds like it. In that case, those shirts need to all die.

Those shirts are like posts in the poli forum. A few interesting ones here and there but not worth all of the crap you have to wade through beforehand.

i hate them only because of the 12 year old girls wearing shirts with words like 'sexy' and 'my boyfriend will beat you up' on them.

I just don't like some the the naughty and negative messages.

How about these? Not exactly t-shirts, but interesting, nevertheless:

I dislike clever t-shirts, especially the girls versions that say "Hottie" or some stupid phrase or variant thereof when they are completely and utterly unattractive.

However, T-Shirt hell.com makes some quality t-shirts (NWS)...not that I have ordered any.

And no, I'm not sharing.

What bugs me is when women wear the shirts and you're trying to see what it says but you look like you're staring at her boobs.

About a month ago, walking down the street, I saw this short girl with huge, huge breasts. Her top said, "My eyes are up HERE," with an arrow pointed upwards.

I have to agree with Randman, except that the few good ones are worth it the first time you see them.

First time I saw one of our sysadmins walking through the cafeteria with a black t-shirt that said "i read your e-mail", I thought it was pretty damn funny.

Those aren't real. They're paid to do that.
