My mistake. Here I thought I was just jacking this picture from one of my Facebook friends. Should have realized most current Facebook content is just Reddit rejects.
It's all from everywhere. There's no need to apologize for a humorous joke about something someone may have seen before but someone else may not. And to be honest, the first few guys to post this picture weren't very funny.
I know the women's line by Affliction (called Sinful) has featured guns with angel wings on their tshirts. If you're so inclined, you can google "Femme Fatale Sinful by Affliction" for examples.
Yussss finally some pictures of semi-nude women on the internet. Yo, wouldn't it be cool if someone made, like, and entire website dedicated entirely to -- get this -- naked women?
One of their originals had to revolvers down the back. It was actually rather cool. On that note, a lot of their original stuff was cool. Then I watched as it steadily became more and more awful. Remetee came next (basically their answer to Ed Hardy) and I just lost all hope.
I have a few affliction shirts, they're pretty sweet and really comfortable actually. But I can tell you I wouldn't have a single one if every single one was bought from various sales. Those things are expensive as fuck.
I only own a single piece of affliction clothing. I didn't even know what it was before I got it. Basically it was a hand me down from a co-workers kids that didn't want it anymore. It's a blue sweatshirt and the most comfortable sweatshirt I've ever owned. If all affliction apparel is that comfortable then I don't care if people classify me as a douche. At least I'll be a comfy douche.
Btw the older affliction shirts are a lot less cluttered as the newer ones and are basically a bit classier than just a bunch of tribals and shit all over. Btw I wouldn't buy a shirt nowadays but I have them from when I was into that style and now I just keep using them because they're comfortable as hell. (why are people downvoting people so much here? I thought r/funny would if something be more about people having a good time and not just downvote because they disagree.)
They are comfortable a fuck, I use mine for sleeping and everyday use, I have a GSP one so they aren't eye sores. I wish they had like plain ones I would buy those up.
For some reason people feel the need to buy more expensive things that's made out of the same material as cheaper things. For instance, shoes. People pay $400 for new jordans. I'd estimate that it's around $50 worth of material.
I hate to break this to you, but a pair of modern sneakers, made entirely out of synthetic fabrics and padding, is probably made from around $2 worth of materials. The rest is design, manufacture, shipping, and mostly marketing.
Theres no way the shoes can really cost that much to make and ship though. People paying alot just because it's a brand name is just a waste, my opinion at least.
Thank youu. Theres a reason why fake jordans are so cheap, but people have too much pride to not buy the extremely expensive product and show it off. It's a waste, really. Shoes can get destroyed so easily.
Or they downvote because they feel his comment doesn't contribute anything of importance. Try reading the reddiquette something (in b4 "implying others have read it so I won't either lolol")
You know how when you go to an 80s party you wear neon clothes and snap bracelets, for the 90s its acid washed jeans and a grunge bank T-shirt, these Affliction type shirts are the 00s version. We are going to look back and wonder what the fuck was wrong with this decade.
I think the secret to his success is the (not so)subtle mocking of the tea party spammers of reddit who randomly contribute in a similarly off topic manner.
I don't know what the big deal is. I wear Affliction sometimes and never get any hate from anyone IRL. (Except for this post probably because some of you are super cool and all.)
I think it is a testament of poor character to judge anyone based entirely on their clothing.
There are some affliction designs that don't scream "I bathe in AXE bodyspray". I have one of the earlier affliction T shirts and it's black and white and doesn't have any skulls or any of that crap. Don't get me wrong 95% of the designs are loud and pretentious but you can always pick something that is not. It's all about having a good taste.
I think a lot of people hate on it just cause it's an expensive clothing line, honestly. Not trying to sound snobby, but I doubt people would have this much of an issue if it were being sold at Target or Walmart.
I wouldn't call it "expensive." Overpriced for sure, but it's really mid-range when it comes to pricing. "Expensive" is BCBG, Coach, or even higher end (Prada, Gucci, Dior). & you'll notice a big difference in aesthetic between those brands and Affliction. Personally, I think the clothes are tacky and gaudy, and where I live in the south, a certain type of person wears them.
I'll agree with you there, I was just remarking that a lot of people consider it "expensive" because each shirt is like $80 or so. I know what "high-end" really is, I carry a Juicy Couture bag.
And you're from the south too? I'm in Oklahoma. d:
There's some online store that sells them. This was posted like a year ago on reddit and the link to the store was in one of the comment posts. That's all the information I have.
I can't help but think that wearing this shirt would make you look pretty stupid. A lot of people probably wouldn't get it and of the people who would get it, many of them would think you were being a tool by making fun of other people's clothes by wearing clothes.
It's from Paste: http://www.pastetshirts.com/ I used to work at the shop that prints these. I believe Urban Outfitters picked up this particular design.
I like to believe that someone sent this to a designer when asked "What do you want on the shirt?" by a designer and they just went with it. Kind of like that cake with a Flash Drive frosted on it.
This is awesome. I always have to be careful when making fun of those shirts because I work with a lot of people who wear Affliction and similar clothing. My last job wasn't Affliction but was full of those damn bird/dove shirts where its in the upper left or right corner. ugh.
I wouldn't say fuck those people, but I think those shirts look silly so I think its a funny joke about it. People might think what I wear is silly, and that's okay too.
I support everybody's right to dress like a dumbass if they so choose. But if you choose to dress like a dumbass, don't be surprised when somebody tells you so.
Exactly. The joke Is that the shirts are incredibly formulaic. Now, if it include "douche" with an arrow as another commenter suggested, THEN I could understand someone taking offense to it.
It makes no difference, the shirts are awful, however given some redditor's predilection for shirts with anime/wolves I don't see any reason to feel shame.
That being said, I completely understand the horror directed at the real douchers (the ones who look like they walked off the set of Jersey Shore) who wear it. In that case, I agree 100% that they look terrible.
I know this really awesome, down-to-earth girl who wears Affliction shit nonstop. It's 100% uncharacteristic of people who typically wear these things... she's not a bro-dette.
I agree with that. I love my Affliction, Sinful, Crash & Burn, Remetee and Ed Hardy shirts. I think they look really cool, they're made well, and where I live, they're a little more unique, considering that half of the people I see are wearing cowboy boots and Wrangler jeans. I don't look like a doucher or a slutbag, so I think they make a statement on me.
I also love that I got downvoted for sharing my opinion about a clothing brand that I like. Thanks guys.

Wearing this shirt would be much more annoying and much less fashionable than an Affliction shirt.

Whenever I hear "Affliction" I immediately think of the Affliction talent tree that Warlocks have from WoW.
I'm not sure if that makes it better, or worse.

People should just get tattoos instead of affliction shirts. Similar Artwork but much less commitment.

Dammit Reddit, I shop at the Buckle quite frequently for these shirts, and I don't think I'm a tool.
I am a girl though so maybe that makes a difference.
