Somewhere, beyond the sea,
Somewhere, waiting for me,
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing ..

During long periods of sifting through the incomprehensible amount of crap that exist on the Internet, I discovered something so poorly thought through it was almost untrue. Ladies and gents, I give you the T-shirt of the 21st century:
People who wear shirts like this, or ones such as "I survived the blackout of 2003" which I don't have a picture of unfortunately, are typically the ones who shouldn't have survived it. Someone please explain the mentality behind this. Especially the one pictured above. I'd imagine if you go for a walk in New York today, you're very likely to run into someone who has a friend or relative who didn't survive 9/11. This is nothing though compared to the aforementioned 'blackout' T-shirts. Considering that only 11 or so people died in the blackout, the only serious ones fire related, it clearly wasn't the toughest thing to survive. I'm going to start wearing a shirt that says "I went 24 hours without power and bitched about it afterwards".
These items of clothing extend further to hats with stuff like "Ground Zero." on them. Why the fuck would you want to wear a hat endorsing a place where 3,000 people were murdered? Are hats that say "Pentagon" or "Field by a wood in Pennsylvania." in production yet or what? Maybe theres a market in Germany or Israel for hats with "I survived Auschwitz." Fucks sake. Its worrying to think what the 9/11 memorial will actually turn into. 9/11 itself is already a product. It's been used to sell everything from t-shirts and hats, all the way to a full scale war with a country that had nothing to do with it. Nothing sells like national tragedy it seems.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
