Grande Problema!

I was unfortunate enough to come across this tee shirt whilst on holiday in Venice… and, I just don’t know what to say. I don’t even know what the tee shirt is trying to say! What is the problem? Well, whatever it is, apparently domestic violence is the answer.

It reminds me of that Game Over Tee Shirt. Seriously, I never thought I would come to the defense of that tee shirt, but at least that one makes sense! The man has a sad face, so he’s clearly unhappy to be committing to his poor wife. Oh boo hoo you got yourself a life partner, have a kleenex.

(On a side note, the Game Over tee is clearly ripe for an anti-marriage feminist make-over, something along the lines of this)

But this shirt makes no sense at all. What’s wrong stick man? You don’t like standing in a box next to a stick woman? This tee shirt is so awful it doesn’t even deserve theorising over.

One last thing. How ashamed must that ‘Made in Italy’ tag line make Italians feel? Bah.

Edit: You can buy a version of this tee shirt in a women’s maternity version. What the WHAAAT?

Edit: A non violent, for the ladies, version.
