I was musing the other day over t-shirt humour, after noticing an "I'm with stupid" t-shirt. The wearer was walking along with a friend but the arrow of the shirt was pointing the opposite side, thus negating the humour and making the wearer look stupid instead.
I have also seen techno-t-shirts that
can display a message programmed into a small chip hidden somewhere upon the wearer.
I would like to meld these two ideas, and add a short-range tracking device. Basically the tracking device would be concealed about the wearers friend; loved-one or foe. The display would be an arrow that points in the direction of the tracking device, so the message on the t-shirt is kept accurate.
I'm With Stupid, ala Tindale

Those folk should just admit they've missed a bargain and ink a big letter "X" over the "with" on their (one) shirt. Duh! |
|
|
does it have a hidden button? |
|
|
so stupid is in the crotch area? |
|
|
//so stupid is in the crotch area?//
It depends where you hide the transmitter. |
|
|
[po] It's not called the dumb stick for nothing. |
|
|
If you needed a /tracking device/ then you wouldn't be WITH stupid. Stupid would be trying to get away from you for calling him/her stupid and wanting the whole world to know it and see him/her.(or is the shirt stupid?) |
|
|
//[po] It's not called the dumb stick for nothing// not a gear stick then? |
|
|
Everybody: "Hit me with your rhythm stick, das ist gut, c'est fantastique!" |
|
|
"Hit me! Hit me! Hit meeee!" |
|
|
Just place an arrow on the shirt with a rivet. Pivot by hand if they move. Much easier to bake. |
|
|
([Dub] Sees a potential alternative market for all the False North protractors he's just had made) |
|
|
Alternate solution:
<--- I'm handcuffed to stupid. |
|
|
//the arrow of the shirt was pointing the opposite side, thus negating the humour // Negating the humour? I don't think so. |
|
|
I think these shirts look ok when worn ironically but that may just be me. |
|
|
I think an extension to this idea would be to make a holographic front to this shirt with an image that maves as you mave around it. For the purposes of this idea the image would be an arrow constantly pointing at the observer. |
|
|
So, how do you wear a T shirt in an ironic way? |
|
|
//I wear mine unironed// HA!
(Welcome back [ss], you were missed. Hope all was/is well.) |
|
|
They should come with a arrow that spins by hand, then you could take pot-luck as to whom is the idiot. |
|
|
I have an "I'm with stupid" t-shirt. Got it in Topman. |
|
|
How about a low-tech solution:
Simply print (you know with dyes
and inks) on the t-shirt's fabric |
|
|
I'M WITH STUPID <-- OR --> |
|
|
Or just remove the arrow. |
|
|
//Welcome back [ss], you were missed. Hope all was/is well// Thanks [bliss], all has been well. I have just been very busy. Hope you're good too. |
|
|
and change "with" to "outside". |
|
|
Maybe, what we need, is "I'm with Stupid" on pants.... |
|
|
Email, ss, it still works. I shall repost on home page. |
