Mark Zuckerberg wears T-shirts every day. You're saying he's dumb?

In the late 80s I had a t-shirt emblazoned with that famous early Madonna photo of her on all fours facing the camera with her pancakes on display. Looked like she had bruises on her face as well.  

 

Nobody batted an eyelid when I was wearing it but that was the late 80s and times change.

I used to work at an airport and saw some rippers come through.

 

One was an old Chinese lady with "I give good head" on her shirt.

Obviously a laugh by someone in the family.

 

Saw an Aussie coming back from Thailand and he would've been at least 50 kg's overweight.

On the front he had "I bring nothing to the table"

In my old bar days long ago I had football

shirt with 'Mia mai loo team' written in Thai.

Bar gals amused anyway.

 

[VocalNeal]

I have one I found in Indonesia.

 

Described the worst bl w job you've had.

                    Fantastic

Think my dislike comes from a Bar Fight in England holiday years ago. Doorman took a dislike to HAVE a BREAK, HAVE a KWIK <deleted>. Turned into Movie type Brawl. Some are funny, but many just intended to offende the older people.

Not just T-shirts.
I was invited to a local primary schools childrens dance and songs day.
The song and dance music from one group aged 7 had "f..." said every few minutes.
The teachers at the school included Thai, Filipino, American and English.

How many young children have uncontrolled use of iPads etc ?
Need I say more ...

Young girl -13 or so at local shop. White Power with a fist and a swastika. Considering recent events I thought interesting.

she hasn't got a clue what it means and to be honest ... who cares, it's past. She's not intentionally hurting any one, grandma probably gave her the t-shirt from the market ....

It's a bit like these statues being taken down everywhere because they had the slightest association with colored slavery .... I mean, move on ,  it's what happened and it's in the past so why go tearing everything down that is from the past.

Saw similar, young girl out with her middle class parents in the mall, T-shirt with Nazi flag and the words fcku you Punk Nazi &astar7ds! (Spelt correctly), in huge clear letters, they were oblivious to the meaning!

One of my favourites seen in Thailand a few years ago:

 

"Duck my Sick"

 

(think about it!)

Don't you find a person with dark skin wearing a white power t shirt a little amusing??? I did write "interesting. I was not trying to get in a discussion about the issue. I was more thinking about how it would go down on the West which is kind of what the whole thread is about.

A friend of my missus is called Porn, recently she took to wearing a black T shirt with the words Porn Hub across the front. 

I asked her if she knew what Pornhub was and she replied “don’t know”.

I told her it was porno internet site she was advertising she replied it didn’t matter because Thai’s can’t read English.

Up to her.

 

Porn, in Thai, means blessed.

I wear a rugby T-shirt which states:

"You're never too old to play with hookers"

Only one Thai lady got angry in Pattaya. 

Most farrang think it's funny.

[Wongkitlo]

I just saw a girl with a "Keep CLAM and carry on" tattoo if that counts.

[Satcommlee]

I guess somebody with a sense of humour had this T Shirt specially printed for this Tuk Tuk driver.

[Ireland32]

Obviously Not

[Dumbastheycome]

About 12  years back I came across a full rack of white T shirts in Big C Bangkok that were on big discount.

Every one of them had  "Merry #litoris and Happy New Year" printed on the front.

Over in Bali it used to be common  to see T shirts  with  " Jap Eye Me " which took me a while to decipher.

I once saw a guy get off a very expensive yacht on which he appeared to be part of the crew. On the front It read  Cleaners wanted and on the back but scrubbers will do.

[bfc1980]

I once a little girl (about 6) in Pantip Plaza wearing a sparkling pink t-shirt with "Pervert" emblazoned across the front. 

[seabear]

I remember seeing those:

" I look better naked"

" I sleep with your dog for a buck"

" Support your local police, bribe a cop today"

 

[Laza 45]

I saw a very cute girl... maybe 14 years old wearing a T-shirt that said ...."DO ME... SAVE A VIRGIN"..!...  My wife had one she wore for ages..."TROUBLE MAKER"..

That's funny... but from what I see, no, they are not interested in what it says.. mostly just the price... or color...

[tribalfusion001]

No they don't, if it looks cute they will wear it.

Same question can be asked about farangs wearing T-shirts with Thai on them, I think.

 

[johng]

Not English but still good   ( whatever happens its always me...my fault or me that has to fix it)

[Venom]

I saw a girl with a "blow-jobs for dummies" book cover printed on front of her t-shirt down at the Talad. I asked her what it said and she replied "mai lu" Needless to say that i made no attempt to translate. 

[Dmaxdan]

Some years ago I was sitting in a bus somewhere on Phuket island and opposite me was a rather attractive Thai girl wearing a t-shirt with the slogan 'stop looking at my tits' written across her chest. After I'd read it I looked away guilty as charged...

[rwill]

For the most part they have no idea what they say or who is on the shirt.  The ones that get me are the ones that make no sense.
