New online exclusive Hot Topic shirt

[Jester]

You know what would make an interesting thread...A "What the heck were they thinking" Officially Licensed Merchandise thread.

Picked up my shirt today! I ordered from the store at their online kiosk (it saves a few dollars shipping to ship directly to the store and since I live less than two minutes away I figured why not). This shirt does not disappoint. Wearing this sucka tonight to see Real Steel!

Not that I dislike NWA, but I would not consider myself a fan of theirs. However, I really like this shirt. I would probably love this shirt, but I can not get past that $. If they had just left the S a S I would probably buy this shirt. With all that said I love the artwork.

If it's not this type of stuff it just has retarded catch phrases on it that the turtles would never say. Sorry but the last thing I ever wanted to see was a turtle with a grill.

I hear you, although I'm not into rap nor metal. Raphael and Michelangelo are the only Turtles ever associated with rap music (mostly Raphael), so all 4 Turtles shouldn't be lumped in that genre.

It's clear Kevin is into metal, but I don't know so much about Pete --- I think he's more classic rock, which is my cup of tea. I would so buy a Beatles/TMNT mash up shirt.
