Discounted T Shirts

I know this really cool t-shirt site that holds T shirt design contests and I like the designs that they come up with. I like t shirts in general because they are casual, cool, and comfortable and they are such a great way to make a statement about your attitude! And you know what I like even more? T shirts on discount of course! So let us search for the ideal t shirt today: funny, cool, smart, and intelligent and most importantly AT A DISCOUNT!

Cigarette t shirtPrank place.com has a really funny collection of tees with this nice clearance section here. I loved this one that says, “Why don’t you stick that cigarette up your ass? It would be healthier for you“; rude but makes a point loud and clear! It is at an 80% discount and available to you for $6.99.

Bush t shirtJiggy.com is a really cool site for Tshirts, especially if you like to declare what band fan you are. They have t shirts for practically every band from Elvis to Aerosmith and then some. I liked their Aerosmith T shirt for $9.95 but what I liked more is this offensive George Bush T shirt (also on sale at $9.95) and this one that proclaims that a village in Texas has lost its idiot (this one is not on sale though).

Work for gas t shirtNow this site is called so cheap it hurts.com (but IMHO cheap never hurts) and I liked this one that says “Will work for gas”. Very appropriate seeing the prices at the pump these days and even more appropriate at just $6! Oh, and its green: even more appropriate!

Stressed out t shirtThis here is a good collection of discounted Tees from Giftapolis with gems such as this “Stressed Out” tee for just $3.95 which will basically warn people to stay out of your way! Then there is this one that says “I am such a bitch”; don’t know if that is a boast or a confession!

Now if you like really offensive Tees, take a look here; they offer 5 tees for $25! Sample this: “Men are inferior” and this one is actually a very accurate but satirical comment on the world as we know it: “Religion: The World’s first weapon of Mass Destruction

So, go out there and make a statement!

Best Money Cartoons

No one has been sending me funny emails recently so keep having to trawl the net for my daily dose of the LOL moments. I found some good money related cartoons which I decided to put together for your edification.

Obama hillaryThis one is superbly funny and so very topical, seeing Obama and Hilary’s cutthroat race for the presidential spot disguised by thinly veiled animosity. You’re not likely to see the two of them sharing pool-space this cordially in real life.

Color of moneyThis one is a bit sexist, but I have to admit that we women can be very vain sometimes.

Freebies Galore?

FreebiesWhat is better than a bargain, a discount, a good deal, an on-sale item? A Freebie, that’s what! Economists, however, would disagree with me, because the theory is that if a thing is free, its intrinsic value for the customer will be reduced. Whatever! I love freebies so lets go shopping. Without any money!

Freebies Archive is a site that claims to offer all manner of things free, including free laptops and free iPhones. Now that made me very suspicious so I delved a bit. Lots of pages regretted to inform me that the offers were no longer available or had expired; others redirected me to pages where I saw that in order to get the alleged ‘free’ iPhone you have to do all kinds of things and the rules stated:

Please note Sponsor offers may require you to sample and/or purchase products of interest and/or take other actions such as applying for or obtaining a loan or extension of credit (including credit cards), transferring a balance, or similar steps. In order to remain eligible for your gift, you must complete all of the sponsor offers that require you to sample and purchase products of interest within 180 days of signing up for our service.”

Hmmm, not free after all. I looked with rather less suspicion upon the free samples sections. However a lot of these also redirected me. My desire to get 6 free toothpastes took me to a site called Brandrama (wonder if this one was named by someone hung up on the ghastly 80s band Bananarama) where I was firstly asked for my email address and the home page told me that the six tubes would be mine if I “took a survey and completed participation requirements where I sampled and purchased products of interest”. Most of the offers ominously informed me “Participation required”. Lots of strings there, and sounds like work to me.

Frankly disheartened I clicked on the free antivirus software, very hopeful that at least this would yield a genuine freebie? Nada, me hearties! The page offered zilch, it came up blank! Thoroughly dejected I ploughed on to the free Books and magazines section. A free magazine subscription offered me “the opportunity to participate in health surveys and polls.” And in all probability it will be an email subscription, so my ebbing enthusiasm evaporated entirely. Then there were free fonts to be downloaded, which I did, but my computer informed me that I would need to go and find the appropriate program to open the damn thing.

I hereby, most gloomily conclude that there is no such thing as a free lunch. But you know what, I am an eternal optimist and my quest for the freebie shall continue, I will bring you good tiding about it anon!

Some of the Worst Commercials

If you read my last post then you know that this one is a sequel. I did some of the best adverts or commercials then and now I want to see if I can find some really bad ones!

Straightaway we come to this self-explanatory site which claims to bring you the dumbest ads.

This ad is apparently for toilet paper, why it has a dog and cucumber slices could be anyone’s guess.

Toilet Paper Ad

“I drove a co worker home. To my place” OK so far, but this is an ad for hair color!

Clairol Hair Color

These ones here are actually one line classified ads but really funny:

Lost: Small apricot poodle. Reward. Neutered like one of the family.

Dinner Special: Turkey $2.35; Chicken or Beef $2.25; Children $2.00.

For Sale: Antique desk suitable for lady with thick legs and large drawers.

Now is your chance to have your ears pierced and get an extra pair to take home too!

No matter what your topcoat is made of, this miracle spray will make it really repellent.

For Sale: Eight puppies from a German Shepherd and an Alaskan Hussy.

Dog for Sale: Eats anything and is fond of children.

Tired of cleaning yourself? Let me do it!

Man, honest. Will take anything.

Used Cars: Why go elsewhere to be cheated? Come here first!

Our bikinis are exciting. They are simply the tops.

Auto Repair Service: Try us once — you’ll never go anywhere else again.

Wanted: Preparer of food. Must like the food business, be dependable, and be willing to get hands dirty.

Mixing bowl set designed to please a cook with round bottom for efficient beating.

And now, the Superstore — unequaled in size, unmatched in variety, unrivaled inconvenience.

Then here is a really dumb one for Old Spice:

And this one for a Mercedes Benz is actually really funny, not dumb at all but does feature a dumb blonde, so here goes:

Check out these super dumb product warnings on this page. You cannot stop reading till you reach the end.

As for the stupidest commercial in recent times, I would have to say it is the Absolut vodka commercial, which shows Texas and California (among other US states) as being part of Mexico. Admittedly this was an ad aimed at Mexicans but it has managed to piss of the Americans to the extent that the advert has been recalled, unconditional apologies issued, etc.

Absolut Vodka Ad

Talk about ‘absolutely’ shooting yourself in the foot! Your views? Let me have them!
