Well, from Japan, anyway. Same difference. This company called J-List sells "wacky" stuff (their term) from Japan, including t-shirts they concocted from various Japanese slogans and signs and whatnot. Some of them are pretty damn funny. I think I'm going to have to order one. I'm conflicted as to which one to get. There's an appealing concept behind the enjoy smoking and drinking after age 20, the no grab-ass on the subway one has a nice "conversation-starting" graphic, but the I'm a strange foreigner one is pretty accurate (and the shirt is a nice color, which would match my decidedly gaijinly eye color).
After thinking about it, however, I'd have to get the heno heno mo heji shirt I think, if only for the purely non-sequiturish value of it. You think I'm kidding? I've got my order placed and credit card out of my wallet, buster.
Oh, and I wouldn't go poking around on that site too awful much if you're browsing the web from like church or anything. There are some interesting items for sale.
You might enjoy these as well. My favorite is the "World Of Crap" shirt, although the Dr. SuperLove one ain't bad either.
