Hello now this appeared in my inbox through Planet X

????????

Bizarre.

I don’t know anything about art, but that’s shit.

I would not wear that if it was given to me

didn’t he designed for Mambo clothing…

Nice, but I couldn’t live up to it.

I kind of like it! Even with the cock and balls crank!

Had a look at those the other day…some are certainly on the more bizarre side like Bum Gun…

Did quite like Cycle of Violence…

…but not enough to buy it.

I would not wear that if it was given to me

*cancels junkyard’s christmas present*

Even with the cock and balls crank!

Oh, great. Another BB standard to deal with 😡

Not for me – I quite liked some of the mambo ones though…

How very offensive. I don’t wish to portray cycling in this manner.

Jamie re bb 😆

Agree cardic but what was the market research

but what was the market research

I imagine Planet-X were selling a load of…..oh….hehe…selling a load of….ahhh my sides!…sorry, one sec, selling a load of those…teeheehee…one last try…selling a load of those…pffft… Phaart pumps…*chortle*, so figured people liked bums and willys.

OMG! ONE OF THEM IS CALLED THE TRUMP DELUXE!!!>!>!>!> *explodes*

…anyway, I assume they are currently patting themselves on the back at another genius bit of gorilla* marketing, to get everyone talking about their new t-shirts.

*damp squid.

You are all heathens he is one of New Zealand’s greatest living artists.

What a silly little company they’ve become….

You’d really want a bashgaurd fitted to that.

I’m pleased someone mentioned these, because my first thoughts were no, don’t like it, and thought it was just me being prudish. He may be a highly regarded artist, but if a child had drawn this would you pin on the fridge or refer them to a shrink, I know I would be chosing the latter.

I would cut out the middle man, and pin the kid to the fridge.

Well it will keep Px/Oo in the top of the post list for a few days so job done……

I would just open the fridge and take out some beer and pizza and try and ignore everything. But this probably explains why I’m divorced.

my intention was no gorilla or viral marketing but a complete wonderment at who would buy that
followed
by who thought it was a good idea to commission it
then
would you want to be associated with the brand,

Not suggesting you tried to make it viral vondally, the product was bound to pop up here
And no, I wouldn’t want to be associated with that brant/d even before these shabby little vests made their appearance

would you want to be associated with the brand,

Gorilla marketing only appeals to one type…

They may well be heavily discounted sometime in the (near?) future..!

Jamie 😆 and very quick

Hilldodger no worries and I amstill amazed at the market research on these

I like ’em.

But would only wear a couple of the designs 🙂

P’haps better on a bike jersey.

Whereas the Mambo designs were very intricately drawn, clever & funny, these look like they’ve just been dashed off in 5 minutes. Not impressed.

The male bicycle dates from 1995, inspired by Flann O’Briens “The Third Policeman” This version was the cover of a Mental As Anything EP.
If you really want to be offended, you should read his book.

Even with the cock and balls crank!
Oh, great. Another BB standard to deal with

Genuine Lolz 🙂

I can’t imagine anyone buying them. Certainly not my cup of tea.

and who’s going to take a hammer to it!

They will probably be as successful as those Hawaiian shirts they did about a decade ago…..

I bet the neck is a loose fit though.

I think they are about the most original cycling t-shirts I’ve seen in years. When I first saw them I thought ‘Mambo ripoff’, but to have the real deal designing t-shirts for them is great. It isn’t often that I applaud OnOne these days, but good stuff.

It is a delight to see the prudes and engineers getting their panties in a knot over a bit of art that isn’t Howies or other mainstream accepted crap. I bet that ‘modern art rubbish’ has you ruffling the pages of the Mail with your mouth all pursed up like a cat’s arse.

Guerrilla marketing is an advertising strategy in which low-cost unconventional means (graffiti, sticker bombing, flash mobs) are utilized, often in a localized fashion or large network of individual cells, to convey or promote a product or an idea. The term guerrilla marketing is easily traced to guerrilla warfare which utilizes atypical tactics to achieve a goal in a competitive and unforgiving environment.

While most modern squibs used by professionals are insulated from moisture, older uninsulated squibs needed to be kept dry in order to ignite, thus a “damp squib” was literally one that failed to perform because it got wet. Often misheard as “damp squid”, the phrase “damp squib” has since come into general use to mean anything that fails to meet expectations.The word “squib” has come to take on a similar meaning even when used alone, as a synonym for dud.

Back to the shirts, hmm, not my cup of tea but better than all the ones with blotchy print & tatty patches or or photo montages of NYC, LA or Tokyo on them that seem to be all the rage.

You’d look special/like a grown man with learning issues wearing them.

That says more about you and your view of the world than any wearer of these. Sad.

Yes very sad indeed to have said that Hora

Even clarkson would wince at a “joke” like that

My view of the world is complex ta.
