Obama Is The Reason Why I Drink (T-shirt idea)

User avatar
A couple of days ago our Colonel emailed me with a T-shirt idea:

I saw a funny shirt the other day I believe could be repurposed for The Cause. It read "Tacoma... It's the reason why I drink". After laughing my next thought was "Obama... The reason why I drink". Several possible variants on it of course.

I played with the idea and came up with several designs. I like all of them but not sure which ones to choose for the shirt. Selling TEN similar shirts is a bad idea. I should probably choose one of the vertical and one of the horizontal versions. So I'm hoping the People's Cube Collective will help me with tasteful suggestions.

It's a vector image, which can be expanded indefinitely without the loss of quality. It consists of several elements that can be easily rearranged, moved, added, or deleted.

With or without the stars?
With or without the unicorns, and how many of them is not too disturbing?
Which typeface better serves the purpose?
What about the text? Should it say "is," "it's" or none?

Visualize, comrades, and agitate! They don't call it "visual agitation" for nothing!

BTW, I sort of used this as a sample, but didn't want to go into all the trouble with the graphic details alluding to dinginess, decay, destruction, riots, blood on the wall, and looting that the pro-Obama shirt suggests. (The only thing that's missing in their design is the broken Foot Locker store window in the background).

I like the absolute first one Red, Single unicorn, no stars and the direct wording.

Is good idea. I spent Carter years exploring the medicinal effects of marijuana.

What a delicious idea!

more to follow...

Not so much a fan of unicorns and stars though...

I'd buy any one of those designs.

How about a drunken blur Obama face?

Obama is the reason liberalism stinks.

But I like the layout with a lot of unicorns crawling all over him. It reminds me of the stories I've heard about alcoholics who get the DTs and see ants crawling all over them. Very appropo.

It would be more accurate if your replaced the unicorns with flies......

Most equal Red Square. Most equal.

I cast my vote for 5 and 6. Then I step into the wormhole and do it again. And again. And again. Crap. Time loop loop loop....

Personally the unicorns don't do much for me. The stars could work though.

I'd love to see some of the vertical ones as bumper stickers. Also, I think "Is" as opposed to "It's".

1 and 9. Pink Elephants go along with drinking. Why not unicorns?

LOL. Some of those T-Shirts alluding to Obama as some sort of revolutionary figure organizing his army of unwashed masses are hilarious -- even more hilarious if it featured looted store fronts and crowds of progressives holding up styrofoam latte cups as opposed to the more common raised fist, farm tools, or Mao's little red book.
Such a message exposes the blatant hypocrisy of the old and younger New Left as they parade about blogging for social justice on their expensive Macs while chatting on the latest i-phone that rolled off the Chinese assembly line. Lefty hypocrisy is hilarious.
"Hey, we support socialism and all that jazz, but in all honesty it is really about using the "fierce urgency of now" to pilfer that awesome pair of $85 Nike sneakers."

I've been sober for 16 years, used to hit the bottle pretty heavy. I recognize what is going on with my beloved country and alcohol would be a great escape. This leftist agenda really scary for a lover of liberty such as I, but going back to the drunken life would be a defeat and I can't accept that.

My suggestion:

The picture of Obama alone with the following captions:


Top Caption:
Creating Jobs

Bottom Caption

In the Liquor Industry
By Driving People to Drink

Alternative: "In the Beer Industry"?

Perhaps a better idea:

Add to the picture an image of a hand holding bottle of vodka (with the the "o" in vodka on the label being the Obama logo) Or, perhaps, a bottle of Tequila. Or perhaps some other alcoholic beverage more commonly associated with the Left. Perhaps a martini glass (more associated with "elite" drinkers). Chablis?

Same here, see Carter years comment. It's been 30 years, However they want to decriminalize marijuana too.

It the Democrat Party ever becomes a dirty word (and it's fast on it's way) perhaps they could rebrand themselves as the Ironic Party.

Comrade Marxist, as a libertarian I support legalizing pot. It's none of the government's business to dictate what I put into my body, so long as the act of doing so does not directly infringe on the rights of other. I don't think their motives are as pure as mine, but like the head scratcher of Dear Leader signing the credit card reform bill with the guns allowed in National Parks attached to it, I'll take what advances I can get.

User avatar
OK, we've got 4 finalists. I'll just make 4 designs then and see what happens. I'll also change "it's" to "is." Thank you all for participating.

Oh the poverty of my inability to create visual agitprop on the computer....

Brand extension....Obama--Why I'm a friend of Bill W.

I like No. 9 (same as #2-right above). It has excellent composition and arouses curiosity. Are the unicorns a Harry Potter thing? I hated that ending of the first Harry Potter book. Only mean and horrible people would kill a unicorn. My apologies to Mrs Al, who, of course, has excellent taste.

I have never been a regular drinker, but since the regime came to power, Check Point Charlie and I allow ourselves a cocktail on the weekends (2 drink maximum so as not to get out of hand).

User avatar
Oh, and another thing I like about number 9, is that the unicorns are a kind of humorous diversion that take away from the seriousness of the statement.



User avatar
Put me down for the first design on a yellow T-shirt size medium. You know where to send it, you need my credit card number? Oh wait, I forgot, the Party has everyone's number.

You might not be wearing the t-shirt, Comrade Buffoon, but you did present it to Dear Leader™. (That is South Chicago - is it not? You da wiener!)

I owe so much to Dear Leader. I really look forward to my vodka rations those Whiskey Sours every Friday night. Of course, on Sunday, I'm a devout vodka drinker when I have a Bloody Stalin (vodka in a mixture of beet and tomato juice).
