The Gawker ‘t-shirt off’ has provided us with a lot of laughter recently– or maybe I should say: Gawker in general makes me laugh all the time. If you aren’t familiar, Gawker sent a call to action out to all of its readers around the first of the year to (1) send in slogan ideas for a Gawker t-shirt and (2) vote on the submitted designs (more here). Well, today they announced the top 2 selections. Pictured here, in all of their glory, the winners are: I Hate Your Kids and Douché. The Douché shirt — and you must understand this — isn’t meant to imply that the wearer is a Douche– rather, it’s a play on words. Hint: look at the accent over the ‘e’ and the crossed swords. Touché to whoever came up with that one! I guess I’ll note that these are printed on AA blanks so they may actually be wearable for you adventurous joker types out there; and they’re currently available for pre-order.

Wow. Never have I been so underwhelmed by a post from this site… having to explain the link between Touche and the oh so witty Douche implies that either the intelligence of your writers has dropped significantly, or you’re underestimating your readers - or indeed that I should find a new site to peruse.

Poor t-shirts, poor straplines, poor post.

Shame.

Sorry you feel that way Ck. I didn’t at all intend to belittle the intelligence of our readers with that explanation. In fact, most of our loyal readers will pick up on the fact that my explanation was poking fun at how strikingly obvious the play on words was (as sarcastic as my tone may have been). Nor was this post meant to be about shirts I’d actually wear– just writing a fun post about a fun project over at Gawker, that’s all. Thanks for reading.
