Debating certain classic movie t shirts
I’m kind of conflicted about these classic “adult” movie t shirts I ordered. None of them have anything actually pornographic, but still some people could be offended. On the other hand, the cheesy kitsch value is huge. I think I will put them in the novelty t shirts section rather than movies. Still, it’s disconcerting. If any of you have an opinion let me know. I could always just bring them to conventions.
The shirts are all movie posters, and the three movies are Debbie Does Dallas, the Devil in Miss Jones, and the Italian Stallion (yes, with Sylvester Stallone pre-legitimate career). They are all hilarious.
It’s funny how the Puritan elements of our society creep into my mentality. I have no trouble telling everyone how much I think Superman sucks when compared to Batman (or any number of other comic book heroes. Growing up in Smallville with the Kents is NOT a tragic beginning) yet am worried about t shirts with PG images on from the adult industry. A hard core Superman fan could potentially be really offended and is more likely to be looking at my site than people who would be offended by these shirts.
I think I will put these up, but this is the limit. A lot of my vendors recommend some more “adult themed” shirts but really, I personally find them pretty childish (this from a guy who a few weeks ago posted a Care Bears t shirt and wrote an essay on it) and potentially very offensive. I don’t think I want to go in that direction. I am about nerds, and I don’t think that stuff fits in well.
