'sorry girls i only date models'

Its not as bad as others I have seen, but this doesnt sit comfortably with me for a child to wear.

what do you think?

Ugh that's awful

Trills · 28/10/2013 09:18

Yuck.

WooWooCaChoo · 28/10/2013 09:18

It's horrible! Doesn't bother me too much though as I'd never buy it.

elcranko · 28/10/2013 09:23

It's just not funny or cute at all. There will be people out there who think it's adorable though, I'm sure Confused

Not funny, cute or witty.

Yuck.

If it was on an adult's T-shirt, I would assume that he was such a twat that the only action he could get was from blow-up Betty.

Not very nice on a child's T-shirt, at all.

WooWooOwl · 28/10/2013 09:30

Horrible, but then I dislike most slogan t shirts.

I don't think it's offensive in any way, so that just makes it a crap t shirt.

Vile. Anyone remember the girl's one with "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them"? Unbelievably foul, but someone buys them.

LividofLondon · 28/10/2013 11:06

If it's meant to be amusing it falls totally flat with me. I'm surprisingly uncomfortable with it; just horrible.

fanjofarrow · 28/10/2013 11:09

I agree with molly about the throwing rocks slogan - I found that pretty damn foul.

When it's an adult wearing shirts like that, I just think it shows us very clearly exactly who we should be avoiding.

It takes a special sort of eejit to dress a kid in something like that though.

Tailtwister · 28/10/2013 11:09

Not nice. How old was he?

fuzzpig · 28/10/2013 11:10

Ugh, do you know where it's from?

Lilacroses · 28/10/2013 11:11

Horrible, I hate those stupid, offensive sort of slogans. Reminds me of a man that was the husband of someone at ante natal classes, a very articulate psychologist who had just set up in private practice. He regularly wore a T shirt that said "I don't do mingers"!

SPsTombRaidingWithCliff · 28/10/2013 11:16

I don't really care about slogans tbh. I'd have read and just moved on without thinking of it.

My son and sister have slogan t-shirts. When I took them out together they picked the same one. Blue saying cool dude on it.

They love them and call each other it.

SPsTombRaidingWithCliff · 28/10/2013 11:17

And I buy my brothers them for Christmas. My favourite one was Sex, Drugs and Sausage Rolls.

Trapper · 28/10/2013 11:17

The only models my DSs are interested in are trains...

southeastastra · 28/10/2013 11:18

wouldn't really bother me, luckily we live in a free country where people can wear whatever they like

eragon · 28/10/2013 11:24

tailtwister, child was about 2.

OP posts:
PedantMarina · 28/10/2013 11:30

Bwoak at the slogan itself, then another one when you said the child is 2?!?

And I thought I wasn't going to see worse than [on a girl's t'shirt] "Future Footballer's Wife".

eragon · 28/10/2013 17:23

agree the 'future footballers wife' is a grim one.

OP posts:
juliandickgeorgeandann · 28/10/2013 17:37

You wouldn't put your children in it or wear it yourself so don't let it bother you. Who cares what other people wear? It's someone's idea of a joke so what?

fanjofarrow · 28/10/2013 19:50

'Future Footballer's Wife' gives me a bad case of THE RAGE. Angry

alltoomuchrightnow · 28/10/2013 23:09

horrid
