Presidential Humour
Thursday 22nd of February 2007 11:25:34 PM
There are a few small t-shirt printing companies that are profiting from the low popularity rating of United States president, George Bush. In the wake of the Iraq war and other issues concerning energy conservation, global warming, and the US economy, people have turned to buying printed T-shirts that depict their dissatisfaction. While many people, including those who are profiting from t-shirt sales, will not miss Bush once he leaves office, they will miss the revenue he has generated over the years in t-shirt sales.In addition to political printed T-shirts aimed at poking fun at the President, other shirts that ask questions about gas consumption, taxes, and unemployment are also being sold in record numbers. Even though the big sellers right now are anti-Bush t-shirts, other issues will prevail once he leaves office.
“I have a handful of designs directly related to him. I'm aware that he'll be gone soon. That's a conscious decision of me to expand the topics my designs cover. Free speech, abolition, poverty, gasoline, war. These are the issues that will be around long after Bush. As long as they exist, I'm going to stay in the business,” said Ryan Red Corn, owner of Demokratees.com.
While many of the printed T-shirts are considered funny, the fact that they are so popular is a little disturbing. Anti-Bush t-shirts sell mostly around the holidays and are given as joke gifts to those who like Bush or those who don’t. But when the President speaks, it seems that sales go up again. “Pretty much when he opens his mouth he says something stupid. He was on N.P.R. recently, so I anticipate the sales will go up soon again,” said George Bates, who owns Shirt Magic Alta Hemp, which manufactures over 10,000 printed T-shirts each year, 80% of which make satirical comments about the President.

the chance to review the image is great for checking everything over one last time before printing. the time between reviewing the print and delivery was another positive, taking only a couple of days. my friends were really pleased with the finished items. unfortunately i was out when the courier called. he didn't note the date or time of his attempted delivery on his card and he hadn't filled in when or if he would attempt delivery again. on repeatedly phoning the company on a friday between 4:50 and 6 i got no answer. i then tried again on the monday morning, but once again i got no answer. after phoning clothes2order they resolved everything. i realise this is outwith the control of clothes2order, but it soured an otherwise excellent service.
Delighted with the results. Very popular so repeat orders very likely.
great service, no problems at all
