Would anyone buy a shirt like this? I’ve gotten requests… if I did it, it’d be nothing fancy, and I’d keep it as cheap as possible. Black shirt, white lettering? The design below may change if it becomes official Yirmumah gear.

….yes. *shame* And I’d wear it in public.
November 17th, 2005 at 10:26 am
Yes. And I’d give it to my roomate for christmas.
November 17th, 2005 at 11:15 am
Have an arrow poining upwards above the wording and it’ll be a sure fire hit
November 17th, 2005 at 11:26 am
I’d wear two. Which makes me cooler than everyone else.
November 17th, 2005 at 11:29 am
To answer the question seriously for a second…
I think it might be a better seller if a rendering of the cat took the fore and the lettering was a little smaller underneath.
Or maybe just a shirt with the cat’s signature catchphrase “MURCH!”
November 17th, 2005 at 11:41 am
Hmmm.. yeah, I was thinking of having the cat’s head on the shirt somewhere, but not huge.
I like the arrow pointing up idea as well. Hell, I think that’s a great gift idea, I’d buy one for myself or a couple of my friends… hahhahaha…

Very few people would wear that, DJ, and I think even less would purchase it.
November 17th, 2005 at 11:56 am
I feel like you’ve challenege me, Paul Southworth!

It’s no worse than anything T-shirt Hell would sell.
You’d probably suffer a little wrath from those that chafe at the thought of things that aren’t 100% politically correct.
There’s humour in it, regardless of what people might claim, I’m sure they giggled to themselves at the thought…Just look; recent t-shirt purchses of mine (some would say against my better sensibilities) include, but are not limited to:
“Sniff my cunt, 5 cents”
“Fuck you, you’re Irish” (which I wore in Dublin, in public…better sense of humour, those Irish)
and last but not least
“Good thing you’re reading my shirt…it destracts you from my huge erection”
The last one goes over quite well, if I do say so myself.
November 17th, 2005 at 12:01 pm
I’m just sayin’! I certainly wouldn’t wear it! Why don’t you just make a tshirt that says “My Penis is the Size of a Smallish Acorn”?
November 17th, 2005 at 12:02 pm
Man, I have never seen one person wearing anything from Tshirt Hell, and if I did, I’d probably think he/she was a prick.
November 17th, 2005 at 12:05 pm
Well, remember, I sold a shirt that said DUMBLEDORE DIES on it… and people wore that to bookstores and got kicked out! hahahha– I wore it to Walmart and felt like a prick.
The folks I’ve heard from who want it, some want to wear one, and others want to buy it for friends. I’m torn.
November 17th, 2005 at 12:07 pm
“I’m just sayin’! I certainly wouldn’t wear it! Why don’t you just make a tshirt that says “My Penis is the Size of a Smallish Acorn”?”
Because it would be a lie… My Penis is about the size of two peanuts glued together.
Also, just because you won’t wear it doesnt mean that countless others wouldnt
November 17th, 2005 at 12:08 pm
It would be good fun if you sold it, to have a gallery of people wearing it and making the most retarded looking faces possible.
Also, you could plug it as a “Wear this shirt” before you do something retarded so that you can say your shirt gave them fair warning.
I’d wear it casually, not to church or anything with stuffy adults. I can see it going as a good gag gift for Xmas too. SELL IT!!!! MY CARD IS READY!
November 17th, 2005 at 12:11 pm
I’ll have to consult my… uhm… business manager/queen bee….
Geez though. This is a perfect example of how a simple line from a comic strip can turn into merchandise by accident.
November 17th, 2005 at 12:32 pm
I’d like to get it for my father-in-law. Wish it were a special ink that everyone but him could see!
November 17th, 2005 at 12:32 pm
I’m a prick!
How lovely! I’ve always wanted one, and now I’m a giant one! YAY!
Although I am fond of the retarded idea, I still like the Bunny Fuck a little bit more. As in, if both were offered I would probably buy the Bunny rather than the Pussy.
November 17th, 2005 at 12:37 pm
Don’t get me wrong, I
November 17th, 2005 at 1:14 pm
Hell Yes, I’d buy that as a gag gift this year
November 17th, 2005 at 1:32 pm
i would buy one of these for myself, and possibly another for my friends
November 17th, 2005 at 1:52 pm
I’d buy, especially if the cat is saying “Murch” on the shirt
November 17th, 2005 at 2:23 pm
I think the kitten could very well be the 21st century version of Bill the Cat.
ACK!!!

When I was in high school I remember seeing this girl walking down the street wearing a black t-shirt with just the word “Fuck” on it in big white letters, and I remember thinking that she was probably the stupidest person in a five-mile-radius.
All I’m saying is that this shirt probably will not appeal to a mass audience.
November 17th, 2005 at 3:08 pm
The Yirmumah readership is definitely not the regular people that would fall into the category of “mass audience.” I’m also guessing he’s not expecting to sell hundreds of them, just enough to make it worth the order. But then again, I’m just guessing.
November 17th, 2005 at 3:11 pm
DJ, you should limit the sales of these shirts only to people who are actually legally retarded. They should have to fax over a copy of their Retard Certificate with their order.
November 17th, 2005 at 3:42 pm
Assuming they could manage to work a fax machine, that is.
…sorry, it’s horrible, I know, and no disrespect meant to the mentally handicapped, my sense of humor is just evil like that.
November 17th, 2005 at 6:58 pm
At least now we know why the cat says “Murch”.
November 17th, 2005 at 10:13 pm
By the way, (if I’m not mistaken) this line is used in celeberaty jeopardy on SNL. If I’m remembering correctly, at one point Sean Connary says to French Stewart “Boy, I think you might be legally retarded.”
I dont know if thats where the line comes from, but I know that I’ve said it to my friends on many occasions.
November 18th, 2005 at 4:59 am
actually sean connery says it to Robin Williams, not french stewart. and i think it’d be a funny shirt. it’s just a slightly more mature version of “I’m with stupid”. think of it as evolution. i’m also trying to figure what everyone’s obsession is with the word “murch”. it’s not that funny.. it’s supposed to be the souund a cat makes without making it simply “meow”…

Dude… I think you misread the FCUK logo.
November 18th, 2005 at 7:08 am
(I should have guessed angle-brackets wouldn’t have rendered properly in this thing. Gah.)
November 18th, 2005 at 3:11 pm
“Hmmm.. yeah, I was thinking of having the cat’s head on the shirt somewhere, but not huge.”
Small, lineart only, color of white, above/below the Yirmumah logo in the back, just under the collar.
I’d say on one of the sleeves, but I am hazarding a guess that would make it more expensive to print than one under the collar.

Paul said: “All I’m saying is that this shirt probably will not appeal to a mass audience.”
I think you underestimate mass audiences, Paul. Considering the kinds of shirts I see at the local Wal-Mart, this might go fine.
However, I don’t think I’d wear it.
I might get a happy bunny saying “Fuck!”… No guarantees, but I might. *hint hint*
November 19th, 2005 at 3:51 pm
If you start selling this T-Shirt would you make something like a banner with the lettering “MURCHANDISING” on it
ok, I know it’s not funny, but I couldn’t stop my fingers typing it nonetheless
December 8th, 2005 at 10:08 pm
I would totally wear this shirt, I think you should put the option to buy it out there, and the people who think that it is “harsh” or “politically incorrect” can shove it. That’s the great thing about living in the U.S. we can change the channel if we don’t like it. So go ahead and make them, sure you’ll recieve some flack, but it’s freedom of speech (and the press I guess).
