Luckythreadz update (Commies and robots and gimps, oh my!)

A triple dose of red shirts today, and coincidentally all three off them will probably be offensive to a small minority of really boring people. Red is awesome. That's why girls wear red lipstick, i think.


You bring out the gimp in me by OlliRudi, $17, Luckythreadz

gimp:
(1) a derogatory term for someone that is disabled or has a medicial
problem that results in physical impairment.
(2) An insult implying that someone is incompetent, stupid, etc. Can
also be used to imply that the person is uncool or can't/won't do what
everyone else is doing.
(3) A sex slave or submissive, usually male, as popularized by the
movie Pulp Fiction.


A shirt that is referencing a piece of pop culture that is in turn constructed largely of references to pop culture? this madness would surely boggle even MC Escher's mind. Anyway, crap aside, i wanted a gimp shirt, so i made one. Go buy it at lucky threadz this instant, young man/lady/whatever you are.


Also out this week:




communist party II by tom burns, $17, Luckythreadz

tom burns made another trip to the well that brought us the original threadless communist party shirt, and delivers a second take on the idea. and why not? it stands repeating, and there's no reason they can't peacefully coexist. get it here or wait for the original to be reprinted (it won't be long) if you prefer that one. EDIT: Threadless have reprinted their communist party t-shirt plus a hoodie! The battle is ON, choose your favourite! It's like some kind of messed up communist version of Pokemon! Fight! Fight!


Wrath by Graye Smith, $17, Luckythreadz

Also, Graye Smith has made this awesome lowbrow tribute to Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. who can resist groinkicking humour? No one, that's who. That's the reason Home Alone was such a box office hit. get it here.
