Stuff White People Like: T-Shirts!

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

One of my daily reads is a blog called Stuff White People Like. The sarcastic banter is subtle to the point where your everyday web surfer may skip right over and miss the absolute genius in their posts.

Specifically the post that I decided to blog about is post #84: T-Shirts. It touches upon all my favorite cliche t-shirt companies including Threadless, and American Apparel, who as of now is still our t-shirt supplier. Here’s a tidbit from the article:

Finally, and perhaps the most important to be aware of, is the unacceptable category of t-shirts. There are a few simple rules to follow in order to avoid wearing the wrong t-shirt. First, if it’s made of a stiff, thick cotton, throw it in the garbage immediately. White people t-shirts must be made of the softest, finest organic cotton. This is law. Unless it is vintage, the shirt cannot be made in a foreign country (unless you can certify its labor conditions). The shirt cannot contain a current sports logo. Shirts with sports logos are acceptable, but they must contain a logo that hasn’t been used in 15 years. Last and not least, it cannot be baggy. Your t-shirt must be tight-fitting for both style and mating purposes.

As much as I hate to say it, I’ve most definitely thrown out given away t-shirts that weren’t tight fitting, or were made of thick Hanes Beefy T style cotton. Damn the Stuff White People Like blog for being so accurate in the ways of the whites. Although, I totally disagree with the vintage crap. I’d rather be caught wearing a pink polo than a stupid “vintage” discolored John Deere t-shirt.

Some other articles at Stuff White People like that you may want to check out: #11 Asian Girls , #88 Having Gay Friends , and #69 Mos Def. An honorable mention also goes out to Wrigley Field–just because it couldn’t be more true.
