Ironically after just clicking out of this website to check out some new gadgets on this other website (yah, I'm a dork), I found something very surprising...
Yes, at first glance I thought it was some cliche' sexist hipster t-shirt for ignorant women to wear thinking they are so clever and just "referencing Pavement's sunny side up" (I don't even know what that is, but it was on the website). But it's a GUY's shirt. Now, the gadget website had a lot of eye rolling in the comments to my joy. But is this t-shirt unknowingly doing something other then humoring the immature?
My opinion, which is not meant to be commented on by the trolls on this site cause I don't care... is that it could be used in some kind of presentation for the male dominiance in the music industry? I have to go, so I was rushed while writing this, but what do you think about it? Just some dumb shirt? Or something that could be turned into something interesting?

I don't know. I'm not offended by it (though I won't pretend that my personal opinion is the standard for offensiveness). It just seems a bit amusing, a bit immature/tacky, and very uncool-for-the-sake-of-cool, like "ironic" tuxedo t-shirts. I'd be annoyed if it was a women's shirt, or if there was an actual depiction of breasts (clothed or not) instead of a couple of records. But as it is, "haha it kind of looks like you have boobs but not really" seems to fit more under the "boring" heading than "offensive" or "transgressive".
The comments on the article are pretty tiresome, though. If those are the kinds of people who buy the shirt, maybe I'm just desensitized to the problems with the shirt itself?
i think it'd be great if someone added on the back of it "stop sexism in music" or something. just a thought.
