If it wasn’t such a terrible tragedy, you’d might have thought that the Costa Concordia disaster was some kind of a spoof. The Italian stallion, staying true to his roots, wining and dining a young lady, and then jumping into the lifeboat the second things go wrong.
Sadly, it’s all too true, and the recording of the coastguard official Gregorio de Falco (eloquent in the extreme) ordering the increasingly forlorn captain Francesco Schettino back on board has given rise to droves of Italians buying t-shirts with the words “Vado a bordo Cazzo!”, roughly translated as “Get back on your ship, where you belong, you lily livered cowardly, medallion wearing numpty” A Facebook page has been set up condemning the man, who allegedly tripped and fell into the lifeboat, abandoning thousands of terrified passengers. I almost feel sorry for him; this is vitriol on a social media scale. But not that sorry. The captain is supposed to be the last man on board, not the first on the lifeboat.

Inspiring!
Beyonce has been busy popping out the mini Jay-Zee of late, but the multi-tasking mega diva managed to produce a t-shirt together with her mother to help raise funds for President Obama’s re-election campaign.
The singer has hopped (and popped) on board an a project spearheaded by the Editor of American Vogue, Anna Wintour. Along with other celebrities and designers, the endevour, called “Runway to Win” aims to sell as much merchandise as possible for the president, and includes amongst other things, a t-shirt by Marc Jacobs with the slogan ‘I Vote Obama’, and various bags, scarves and wristlets. There are also pieces by Diane von Furstenberg, Tory Burch, Derek Lam, Jason Wu, Alexander Wang, you name it, they’re there, behind the scenes, squirrelling away, like er…sartorial campaign squirrels. With an army like that how can he possibly fail!

There’s a lot to look out for these days, and new clothing company Stressdressed Apparel have got the t-shirt for each and every bad little thing that’s been going on.
Choose from a range of suspiciously minded t-shirts, or customise your own. I love this “Beware of Protesters” t-shirt. Very funny, irreverent and full of lovely dark humour. Right up my street. This is a good one too.

Old Clarky’s all over the papers today having offended lots of offendable people about the strikes. So here’s a little t-shirt for him.
Warning! This old git may cause offence!
Maybe he could wear it on national television whenever he is going to say something that will be considered offensive, and then people who were likely to be offended could switch over and watch a nature programme or a nice documentary. Ed Miliband could have one too.

A photo of rap star/mogul Jay-Z sporting a t-shirt with an offshoot of the Occupy slogan has zoomed around the world causing consternation. With his mega mogul millions, Jay-Z is unlikely to be feeling the effects of the recession and is more likely to be seen shopping for diamonds and general baby bling for his wife, the reasonably well known Beyonce. It transpires the tee is made by Roc-a-Wear, Jay-Z’s own ickle clothing company and is (big quotation marks here) “inspired” by the Wall street protests. What the slogan actually says is “Occupy All streets”, with a bit of fabric graffiti changing the wording of the slogan. The t-shirt disappeared off the website for a few days, bringing huge sighs of relief, surely Jay-Z had seen the error of his ways; that it was more than slightly unethical to profit from the Wall Street protest. But then the offending article ricocheted back onto the shelves and the imbalance was restored.
Maybe the super duper star is so far removed from the real world, he thinks his take on the slogan is ironic. I hope so, because otherwise, someone who belongs firmly in the 1% of the mega wealthy wearing this tee is pure rap. With a silent “C”

Further to my little theme of capitalising on the Wall Street protests, it seems that the Occupy t-shirt is quite a popular item, and there’s more than just the one of them about. I think I can cope with people buying custom t-shirts as a one off (I’d be in the wrong job if I didn’t) and wearing a slogan t-shirt is pretty much the best way to get your message across from a distance, so I think I can go with that. And if you can’t handle a bit, or even a bucketload of irony once in a while, you’re probably in the wrong life. Making a whacking profit when you’re protesting about the evils of capitalism, well there’s a word for that too, but it’s probably unprintable without using a couple of stars and the odd exclamation mark.
So anyway, here are a few of the best Occupy t-shirts I’ve seen……

Capitalism City!
One of life’s cruel little ironies must be that over in the States, some bright entrepreneurial souls are starting to sell Occupy Wall Street t-shirts, mugs and other merchandise emblazoned with the “Occupy” logo. Even the whole Occupy and 99% thingey is being trademarked. I can see the point of advertising the protest to raise awareness, however cashing in on the protest is kind of missing the point a bit, no?
Go and check out theoccupystore and take a look at capitalism at it’s most weasely, sheesh you can even customise your own Occupy t-shirt……how long before it takes on over in the UK do you think?

Free t-shirts handed out at a right wing rock concert in Gera in Germany gave the wearers a bit of a shock when they were later washed. On the surface of it, some 250 t-shirts handed out by an anonymous donor, had a typical right wing slogan (Hardcore rebels, national and free”), but upon washing, the first layer of ink dissolved to leave a stark message from an organisation called “Exit Deutschland”. The group aims to encourage and help Neo Nazis escape from the hard line right wing extremist groups. The newly washed and slightly more tolerant t-shirts would display the message “Whatever your t-shirt can do, you can do too” along with contact information for the group, which claims to have helped 400 disassociate themselves from the far right to date. The ink on the t-shirts was developed only to dissolve in detergent, so that if it rained, the t-shirts wouldn’t ruin the surprise.
Needless to say, organisers of the concert were mightily miffed about the scam, but Bernd Wagner, founder of Exit was delighted with the outcome. Their hope of raising awareness of the group certainly succeeded. I don’t expect many of the t-shirts made it though!

Bad Bush!
I wonder what Geroge W Bush is up to these days. Having been Obama-d out of politics, he’s probably doing the rounds of the public speaking circuit and making mega squillions……almost as much as the debt he saddled the rest of the States with. But not quite.
I read in a news archive somewhere about an Australian man chucked off a flight to Oz because he was wearing a t-shirt which read “World’s Number One Terrorist” together with a picture of Bush. The reason he was wearing it, he maintained, was that he was defending his freedom of speech. The reason he was kicked off the flight, said the airline, was that he might frighten the other passengers. Quite right too. Flying is scary enough, without someone wearing a t-shirt that has the “t” word printed across it. The same chap kept on trying to get on aeroplanes wearing the t-shirt, until in the end they threatened to chuck him out of Australia as a whole.
There used to be a lovely range of Bush t-shirts. The “Good Bush. Bad Bush” one was very popular for a while. But here’s a lovely one, documenting Bush’s acronym, The War Against Terror. Well, he was, wasn’t he?

Going.....going....gone yet?
Whilst I’m not totally in favour of mob mentality, I can’t help but confess that I’ve been glued to the Twitter feed about the News of the World hacking scandal all flippin’ day, and am fervently hoping that Murdoch’s whole empire comes crashing down around his ears. All in all it’s a very strange day. Hugh Grant, famous for playing foppish Englishmen, is putting on an Oscar worthy performance as Rupert Murdoch’s nemesis, the final shuttle is launching, there is torrential rain in July, and Pat Butcher is leaving Eastenders. Possibly the saddest thing about it all is that the awful situation in Sudan is being totally ignored in the face of the revelations pouring out in the wake of the NOTW scandal.
Still, I can’t forgo the excuse to put the topical “red top2 joke onto a t-shirt, so here we go. Should we send these out to all the NOTW that have been fired?
