This "would you like a cup of robots" shirt doesn't express who I really am. I'm more of a "Yellow men can't rap" kind of guy.

Might as well put those low English test scores to use. From an article today about why T-shirts will be a popular fashion item this summer (go figure):
Practicality is the biggest virtue to hoist them as this year's top fashion item, industry watchers say.

``T-shirts are popular in the economic slowdown because they can easily make various styles by mixing and matching at cheaper prices,'' said Kwak Woong-il, a manager at Shinsegae.

``Customers in a weak economy have a stronger urge to find ways of expressing themselves at reasonable costs, and T-shirts exactly meet this need,'' said Yoo Jung-yoon, a brand manager of LG's TNGT. ``They are cheap, go well with many different items and also can be a very expressive item with flamboyant and expressive illustrations or phrases on them,''

Maybe be a little less expressive, though, when using a langauge you don't understand.





Or this one from Maru, which says:

Korean fashion makes me want to die.

Speaking of contemporary fashion, there was apparently a big Cosplay event in Seoul this weekend. One guy showed up wearing a Nazi uniform.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, there's a debate about the appropriateness of this in the comments to the photo.

I'd like to see the "Roadkill Cafe" T-shirts come to Korea. The menu would be slightly different, of course.....

I would totally wear a cup of robots shirt.

This isn't really a reason to hate on Korea, though. It happens worldwide.
