When the shirt is stupid, you can bet the person wearing it is stupid. I for one like shirts like this. The reason why is that it lets me know to avoid people from hundreds of feet away.

Some t-shirt's I see is so stupid, they might as well use an "I'm with supid" (with upwards arrow) shirt.

I hate clothing with "slogans" or silly messages. And even if the slogan is funny and something I "agree with" like geek humour t-shirts , I would not wear them. I would feel it's to pretentious and arrogant. Maybe I have a phobia about wearing text and logos, and I'm rationalizing, who knows...

They're just words. They mean nothing. It doesn't mean people have to do them or that the shirt is permoting it. But I wouldn't wear them because I am not into drugs.

I mostly just have a small laugh at how ugly and disgusting the shirts are and what kind of people would actually wear them, but then I saw some shirts for sale that said: "My other house is a Meth Lab." ........................................................

If that shirt had a picture underneath of a beat-up house on fire with police cars around it; I would think the shirt would be kewl because it would be making an ironic statement

Does that store have a website :?:

God they are awful, but let me guess they are meant to be edgy right? Those are the kind of t-shirts are usually worn by moronic pseudo-rebellious teenagers.

One clearly unlike yours, so you might call it a crappy one, sure.

OP - yes, methamphetamine addiction is a horrible thing, but I think you take this too close to heart, the t-shirt was meant to be a joke (most likely about the wearer being "white trash")...

And anyone over the age of 15 would also do so.

Drugs are bad, mkay?

Seriously though, I joke about stuff like that sometimes. I've joked about far worse. They're jokes.

Jokes are jokes. Put that on a t-shirt.

In any case, I don't care what anyone jokes about outside of my headspace, but a printed t-shirt worn by a stranger is something nobody chooses to see.

You're slacking off here. Where are the holocaust jokes and the dead baby jokes and the rape your mother jokes? After all, if you are going to post pictures exactly where people who will be offended by them will find them, you may as well put in a good effort.

I'm just working with what the internet gives me. T-shirts about the Holocaust and dead babies and mother rape seem hard to come by.
