Tell-tale tees

T-shirt messages are becoming increasingly naughtier with chest prints getting highly explicit, finds Priya Pathiyan

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

ASK 22-year-old Salil Mithani why he wears a t-shirt that reads 'Everyone likes to fcuk' and he says, "It's cool. It means I don't care what the elders say. My parents had a big problem initially, but now whenever they travel, they get me a FCUK tee!" Fourteen-year-old Zara Shroff says her snug-fit tee with 'Bitch' emblazoned in silver across her chest "shows major attitude." "In the last six months, there's been a 20 per cent increase in sales of tees with wicked messages," says Manoj Vijaykumar, CEO, , an online t-shirt supplier. Swear words and sexy puns are what collegians and infotech guys are ordering. Even where buyers are allowed to design their own t-shirts, slogans sent in are ultra sleazy. According to social psychologist Dr Harish Shetty, "They're making a statement and enjoying its shock value. Also, they are wearing their carnal desires on their chest in print." Tantra's Ranjiv Ramchandani says, "The media markets sex and today, a product has to walk the thin line between what's acceptable and what's not." Pictures of couples copulating, slogans that cover every subject from condoms to the Kamasutra, it's evident that sex is as much on people's clothing as it is on their mind!

Bet you don't know what to do with these !
Now my question is, does someone really become cool by sporting such tees❓I agree everyone have their own choices, but is it really necessary to don tees with swearwords to flaunt one's coolness????...I find Abhishek Bachchan really cool ad I havent seen him sport a tee with swearwords....Now I wouldnt find an obese pint sized man cool just because he's sporting a tee with a swearword embossed on it....My question is , does sporting these tees alone make a person cool or hot....Doesnt it simply show us a crystal clear picture of the person's mind......🤢
Just want you views about this😊

i dont know i think these t-shirts are kinda cute and funky. like i dont wear them but some of them are funny and show a little bit of ur personality. Like there was this one i really liked "You looked better with me" or one that said "Why be difficult ... when you can be impossible". I dont like the sexual ones but they reflect a style, mine just happens to be of someone who argues and says dumb stuff. I think if someone wears these t-shirts for style its fine.

I agree with Dr. AS

There are so many better ways of showing one's good attitude and personality. Intellect / kind heart / warmth and friendliness cannot stay hidden for long. Most people surely possess atleast one of the above.

You are always the person who you are in the shower. What you wear is an outward expression. If you use it just to attract some attention, you may not win anything in return anyway, because you are just being SUGGESTIVE, to feel CEWL.. If you really want to suggest, you need no tees for that!

Tees just give a wrong message to innocent kids and it becomes a nightmare for their parents to explain why and how it is NOT CEWL, and there is actually no point in DISPLAYING smething you are not. Would those guys / girls wearing those Tees really GO THE DISTANCE? If not, what's with the so called ATTITUDE?? 🤢🤢🤢


PS I read Dr. AS's suggestion about editing some parts, but I had bumped it already since it was not locked. My apologies.

An attitude is blend of your outwardly appearance with what you profess and believe...

But to reflect a true attitude you need to be honest to yourself.. You can sport a big tattoo of a scorpion on your arm and then start running helter skelter at a sight of a roach 😆

I always make a promise to myself that I should'nt bother or see the messages on the T-Shirts of girls or boys.But what to do I'm very perfect in breaking the promises😆.

I really wonder how those girls or boys wear such type of dresses with such offensive messages!!First their parents should be blamed.How can they allow their children to move around in this world with scanty clothes with offensive messages!!May be they wear such type of costumes!!

Drawing attention of people by cheap gimmicks is really a pitiable thing!!! Those poor creatures are really immature mentally😆.Mental growth is also necessary apart from physical growth.

Cheers,

Mythili
