Is it Wrong

… that I want to get this shirt just to watch people try and figure out if I’m completely deluded or being ironic?

As a bonus, the largest size would be way too tight on me.

    I have lost count of how many statements you would be making. It’s like… infinite.

    I’ll take 3, size XXXXL, please!

    Damn! Junior sizes. I so wish I could get one.

    I’m not a fan of shirts that have a message across my boobs. It puts too much pressure on me to wear a decent-fitting bra. That’s a tough task.

    Did I tell you that I like this template? It’s organized and it’s easy on the eyes. I also love the picture.

    Heh. I’m right with you. Also, I’m totally not buying this shirt, because it pisses me off that it exists, and it won’t fit. The concept just amuses me.

    Maybe I just need to make one on Zazzle that says “The Midwest: See, we ARE all fat and pale.”

    You do realize that to be TRULY ironic you’d need to come here to NYC – particularly W-burg – to wear it.

    I say that fondly, as someone born in Indiana.

    Hee.

    Littlem, good point!

    Col, hee.

    And I can’t believe no one’s mentioned the emoticon on the shirt yet.

    I am a transplanted midwesterner in NY, and I think it would be cool to have it say “I’m fat and pale, but it’s ok because I’m from the Midwest”. Well, that’s not exactly catchphrase worthy, but something like that.

    Oh, wait, Kate already did it upthread but better. Stupid bad reading skills.

    When I saw this, I immediately thought, “Hey, I’m fat and pale, and I like it. The only thing I *don’t* like is being from the Midwest. Meh.”

    (I’m a new reader, and wanted to say hi!)
