Your shirt is stupid.
I was going to phrase this like an open letter to some shithead teenager at this playground, but open letters are a hacky and overused device that really just make men look like catty girls. This is not, however, about open letters. It is a rumination about some asshole's shirt.
The kid that I am referring to was wearing a McLovin shirt. I wouldn't usually criticize somebody's fashion sense because I like to leave that up to the babbling assholes on E!, but this shirt was begging me to ask a few questions.
What exactly is funny about this shirt? Is it that he remembered a funny character from a movie from 2 years ago? Am I supposed to think it is clever because it looks like a McDonalds logo? Am I supposed to see it and remember a funny scene that he was in and thank the t-shirt wearer for the hilarious memories?
My point isn't that humorous shirts are unfunny. Somebody obviously laughs at them or they wouldn't exist. I am simply saying that they are stupid. Other than a quick laugh as you buy it and the occasional "nice shirt" what do you get out of it? I wouldn't go on stage and tell somebody elses jokes, but this kid feels fine coasting along on the joke that someone else wrote emblazoned across his stupid chest.
