Emoticons: Get Off of My Screen and Onto My Shirt
December 10th, 2008
Cheesy emoticons — they’re not just for your IM client anymore. Thanks to ClixWear, you can plaster semi-colon smileys and less-than-threes on your chest (and regions beyond).
Emoticons are designed to help add context and tone to text-based conversations (because it’s important to distinguish between a joke and a dig), but all the winking on these shirts begs the question of whether the pithy little labels are meant seriously or sarcastically.
Fake diva, or real diva and snarkily proud of it? It’s a mystery! So much for clarity in communication.

great idea.!
not just on the screen but on t shirts too!
I couldn’t wear these tops myself, they look a bit tacky to me, and they don’t actually make me laugh or anything. And I think only other computer lovers will fully appreciate them if seen when out about town etc.
SHIT ON A SHIRT
