Buying a new Alternative Tentacles tshirt after 25+ years

Img 1180

I bought a new Alternative Tentacles tshirt to replace the one I bought in the early 1980s. I didn't realize how faded it had become until I placed them side by side. I like the way the old one looks and feels better than the new one. The new one will improve in a few years.

The design is from 1979 by the great Winston Smith.

JC Penny t-shirt (now pulled): “I’m too pretty to do homework”

 Wp-Content Uploads 2011 08 Runninscared Screen-Shot-2011-08-31-At-11.03.48-Am JC Penny was called out for selling this t-shirt, emblazoned with the words "I'm too pretty to do homework so my brother has to do it for me." What a positive, empowering message for girls aged 7-16, apparently the target market for this design. The Village Voice reports that JC Penny has quickly pulled the shirt and issued a statement, saying in part "We agree that the "Too pretty" t-shirt does not deliver an appropriate message, and we have immediately discontinued its sale." Good for them. I wonder if they calculated what, if any, impact the PR hit and this decision is having on their revenue. Probably not. After all, math class is tough.
