T-Shirts with slogans
What is it with this place and 'comedy' slogans on t-shirts. I notice this mostly within the pinoy community. My maid proudly wears t-shirts with the following statements on (amongst others):
'Not all men are bad, some are DEAD'
'I love Pinas!' (my personal favourite, I did explain it to her once but she didn't really get me)
'I know what boys want'
other personal favourites I've seen are:
'Look after your man, or I will have him' (she was maiding for a local family at the time)
'If it's too hard, it's not worth doing'
Is it me, or do these seem wrong? Why do only pinoys wear these t-shirts? Do they read them before buying them, or do they think it is funny? Where do they buy them?

When I was in Libya, a local colleague (a top guy) once wore a T-shirt bearing the words: "Don't give me grief, give me head". He was mortified when I explained what it actually meant.

Great thread. I once saw a guy stood on Hamdan Street in Abu Dhabi with a traditionally dressed woman. He was wearing a t-shirt that said:
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A DONOR TO GET MY ORGAN...."
Another time in Marina Mall at about 10am, I saw a young kid wearing the t-shirt:
"BETTER A BLOW JOB THAN NO JOB."
I've also been in Woolworths in Marina Mall when the Eminem album was playing over the tannoy, completely unbleeped and uncut mutha*****. None of the shopworkers appeared to notice or understand a word of it....

Lisa Millhouse's favourite is the uncut songs in shops. If you listen carefully nearly it happens in almost every shop. The best one was in a coffee shop when Frankee's - Fu ck You Right Now was booming out. No one noticed...

Re: T-Shirts with slogans
PLEASE ask her where she got the Pinas t-shirt.
In fact that explains something...
There was a guy on reception called PEENUS! At least that is what it sounded like every time the other filipino receptionist yelled at him (about 100 times a day). But maybe she was saying PINAS!
But I'd love a PINAS! t-shirt as a fond remembrance of insane office moments.
I designed a couple of silly t-shirts based on living here... my mate made them up for me. They're back in the uk though. I don't *think* I'd wear them here.
One that says "my mum went to Dubai and got taken up the Burj Khalifa" with my son's drawing of the burj.
And another which has a graphic image of Sean Connery with the text "The name's Sir. Ma'am Sir."
Kept me entertained for two minutes.

If the cafes over there will let you play a single, you should have some fun with it, like putting on "hits from the bong"

There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Re: T-Shirts with slogans
In Riyadh just after the first Gulf War, the US military boys wore some good ones.
"Only two things work out here: Patriots and Expatriates" was popular, but I liked the white t-shirts with "Saudi Beauty Contest" on the front. Immediately below the wording was a row of black keyholes...........

Re: T-Shirts with slogans
Superb thread..
I saw my neighbour's maid a while back with a tea shirt with the bold slogan.
'I Love Pussy'
Magic, so do I.
I've also been in a MOE store last year and the background music was Dr Dre..I was with my 3 year old.
When I say background music, it was bloody loud. 'Niggaz and bitches, mutha ****a **** the police' etc etc
Meanwhile they are trying to sell clothes to all ages and the shop was full. Surely it wasn't just me who heard what was playing.
I left as soon as my daughter started rapping along.
