Inappropriately Contextualized T-Shirts Update
Inappropriately contextualized t-shirts from around the third world really must have been a great idea, because here's another version of it, this one a book now being shilled by NPR. It's funny, because when I first heard the story tonight I thought it was "travels of a teacher," which could also be kind of interesting, I guess. Anyway, this follows on the heels of a documentary broadcast on PBS on the same topic, and a NY Times article. What I don't understand is how these other people can do an idea that someone else has obviously already done -- maybe they're connected somehow, because they have the same name, more or less ("T-Shirt Travels" and "Travels of a T-Shirt"). Kind of shameless, I think. I mean, if the filmmaker and writer aren't best friends or something.
Anyhoo. I'm not bitter or anything, because I never would have followed through. Wait, is that reason to be more bitter? Well, whatever. I'm not. I'm really not. My version would have been funnier, that's all I'm saying.
