Admit it.

You would TOTALLY buy a tshirt featuring a quote from and the visage of the National Review's John Derbyshire(their main anti-gay loon).

Pandagon refers to this as "'I Don't Want to Have Sex' gear"...

― Kingfish Cowboy (Kingfish), Friday, 19 March 2004 20:34 (twenty-two years ago)

The thing I find so crass about this is that I bet they secretly know that the only individuals who would actually buy a "Pop Culture is Filth" sweatshirt or coffee mug are those out to make an ironic statement. The Pop Culture demographic are the only ones buying such stuff to begin with.

i will cream myself if NRO shirts become the newest craze in hipster ironic t-shirts.

― Felonious Drunk (Felcher), Friday, 19 March 2004 20:49 (twenty-two years ago)

This is officially licensed National Review stuff, right?

Funny guys. Just read the original piece this quote is taken from. I don't know what to say.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 19 March 2004 20:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think there's any secret to it at all, Alex.

Regardless of whether it's ironic or quasi-ironic or steadfastly non-ironic or just plain chickenshit, the dude's got no dignity.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Friday, 19 March 2004 20:49 (twenty-two years ago)

It's the photo that makes it classic. I wouldn't buy it without the photo. He looks so dessicated.

― Aimless (Aimless), Friday, 19 March 2004 20:50 (twenty-two years ago)

It would be slightly better if they'd used one of his other bullet points, such as 'Nothing will be done about immigration' or, given the photo, 'Si jeunesse savait, si vieillesse pouvait'.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 19 March 2004 20:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Pop culture is filth though, he's right about that.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 19 March 2004 20:55 (twenty-two years ago)

He looks just awfully tired, like he spends much of his leisure time staring at random things very closely, arguing into a mirror, removing the rind from jars of marmalade, manicuring his lawn with scissors, or cultivating a terrible posture. Or drinking himself blind.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Friday, 19 March 2004 20:55 (twenty-two years ago)

He kind of looks like John Cleese in 'A Fish Called Wanda'. Which was filth.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 19 March 2004 20:58 (twenty-two years ago)

some other talking points you can purchase

― Kingfish Cowboy (Kingfish), Friday, 19 March 2004 21:00 (twenty-two years ago)

What a peculiar gentleman. I do not approve.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Friday, 19 March 2004 21:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Hahaha

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 19 March 2004 21:39 (twenty-two years ago)

he looks like bob newhart

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 19 March 2004 21:42 (twenty-two years ago)

The America's enemies quote would have been better if it had contained the phrase 'lamentations of their women'.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Friday, 19 March 2004 21:43 (twenty-two years ago)

thank god - since it doesn't come in black i won't have to wrestle with my conscience over giving money to the nat review.

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 19 March 2004 21:46 (twenty-two years ago)

i wouldn't buy it merely b/c the funds would go to the quasi-fascist national review. i mean, doesn't that old lizard-face bill buckley, jr. have enough money as it is?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:06 (twenty-two years ago)

not to mention that i find the average national review article and the attitudes underlying them to be filthier and more offensive than anything howard stern or enimem or fifty-cent have ever said or even thought of saying.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Can't you find it in your heart to have one right-wing commentator tokenist fave?

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

P.J. O'Rourke, maybe?

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

pj's so eighties. and he's more of a libertarian than a wingnut.

honestly, i cannot off the top of my head think of a right-wing columnist who's work a shit.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:26 (twenty-two years ago)

To be honest, I've just got tokenism on the brain.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:28 (twenty-two years ago)

if you were right-wing and a commentator, you'd be my token N!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:30 (twenty-two years ago)

We must call a immediate halt to all welfare programs.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:40 (twenty-two years ago)

yer not too fluent in american wingnut, i see. where's the mention of "welfare queens" and "responsibility" and "if you can't feed 'em, don't breed 'em"?

― rushlimbaughbär (llamasfur), Saturday, 20 March 2004 00:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I find it interesting that there isn't a "Socialism is Popular" NRO t-shirt.

― J (Jay), Saturday, 20 March 2004 13:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Or a "Populism is Social" t-shirt.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Saturday, 20 March 2004 19:14 (twenty-two years ago)

*wonders why she clicked on this link in the first place*

I mean, I'm trying to get out of being a fan of any political ideology, but with this slogan on a t-shirt I'm reminded of when I actually really liked the National Review and I don't want to get back to that because I don't want to be anything right now, because I believe that both sides (both left and right) operate out of some desperate and idealistic naïveté and I think both conservatives and liberals need to realize that life is all about shades of gray and... *whew*. Okay. I talked myself out of that near-crisis.

*remembers never to click on those links again*

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Saturday, 20 March 2004 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

can't you just steal the image and then buy some paper that you can use to iron on to t-shirts yourself, THAT'D SHOW 'EM!!

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Sunday, 21 March 2004 12:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe we could do an "ILX: Pop Filth is Culture" t-shirt. Who's photo though?

― Hunter (Hunter), Sunday, 21 March 2004 18:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow, this stuff is great!
"Striking terror into the hearts of cheese-eating surrender monkeys everywhere."

Hahahaha... Ouais, cela me fait peur ! Mais touche pas a mon fromage ! Currently am trying to picture how to properly react to that.. I think with a raised eyebrow, perhaps, and polite disdain to follow..

When Goldberg attacks..

PHEAR This, Surrender Monkeys!

I might buy a "Pop Culture is Derrty" shirt.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 21 March 2004 23:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Isn't it "bail" out, rather than "bale?" Maybe this guy thinks the world's problems will be solved with metal wire and cut grass.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 22 March 2004 01:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd rather Bale Out.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 22 March 2004 01:46 (twenty-two years ago)

would Patrick Bateman buy this shirt ironically?
