I was in Seattle a couple of weeks ago and during my three days there, I saw six different people wearing “Vote for Pedro” shirts. Now I love Napoleon Dynamite as much as the next guy (maybe a little less), and I’m a big fan of those types of pithy, smart, sarcastic shirts worn by San Francisco counterculture (a bigger fan than most–I own a few).
I had thought that I was so cool when I grabbed a couple of these types of shirts a while back thinking, for once, that I might be fashion forward. But then y’all go and kill my dream–all these damn shirts everywhere! We can’t ALL be unique and funny and cool. So now i’m just back to being a tech nerd who wears jeans and buttondowns. Damn you all.
You can only imagine my delight when I saw this one out and about:
Pedro Lacks Political Experience
Take THAT! Counter-counterculture t-shirts. It’s about time. Your whole smarmy t-shirt trend can go self-combust. See if I care.
