The t-shirt bug bit me. A chance visit at a local t-shirt store sparked an interest in t-shirts and now I've begun a collection of shirts. My criteria for choosing the shirts is short and simple:
1. It's funny
2. Or it's well illustrated/designed
3. Or it appeals to my geek interests
4. they have it in my size:) this is a deal breaker...
So here goes:
The design's a spoof of the WW2 British poster that says " Keep Calm and Carry On." The original design was released in 1939 by the British Ministry of Information and was intended to be distributed in order to strengthen morale in the event of a German invasion of the UK. The very British sentiment of keeping cool even under extreme duress made the design popular and was the decorative theme for a range of printed products. The parodied design above is in colloquial Filipino which roughly translates into " Keep calm and DENY EVERYTHING" -- a witty and tongue in cheek dig at Pinoy machismo and the male's propensity to try and lie his way out of sticky situations, often involving deceiving his spouse. This design is available locally at The T-shirt Project. Check out their site here.
