<p>I tried in vain for a week to find a T-shirt printed in French to send as a gift to my niece. </p>
<p>My 55 year old mother in Law once bought and wore a t-shirt that basically claimed she liked to "party all night long". WTF?</p>
<p><br />
I have even come across some T-shirts that have utter nonsense written on them. Apparently as long as it's in English it doesn't matter if it has no meaning.<br />

<p>As for safe/unsafe and 'osé', Americans are not shy to kinkiness either. Here's some prose I saw on T's recently: "I'm trying to see things from your point of view but I can't stick my head that far up my ass"; "I'm not a gynecologist but I'll take a look"; "Nice dick but I'll pass"; "Stop staring at my tits". Or hot pants with butts advertising "Fuck me hard", "Pussy makes the rules", "Eat me", "Spank me" etc. </p>
<p>Remind me... who's supposed th be puritanistic here? I'm not 'bégueule' but: hellooooo?!</p>Jennifer commented on 'Anomalies of French life: T-shirts in English'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c82d353ef00d834d0227169e22006-06-23T10:17:11Z2008-08-28T13:36:32ZJenniferhttp://noplacelikeit.blogspot.comThe "Pussy" t-shirts?

We've seen some of the dumbest ones here, including, "DJ drive me crazy on the dancefloor last night" and "FBI: Fashion Boy Inside" (good luck wearing that one in Wyoming.)</p>
<p>But, Dr. B just got one that says, in French, "Mon Père est une Rockstar"--dumb in French, but he's looking forward to wearing it in Wisconsin. (His dad may not be a real rockstar, but he's rockin' cool.)</p>
<p>Most of the ones pictured, though, are American bands (like Rage Against the Machine). Ah, the sweet smell of capitalism.</p>
