Producing sarcasm is a well-practiced art, identifying it however seems to be a lost one. I completely agree though, my first thoughts on the shirt were typical kid's shirt. Has a quick little one-liner, an interesting art style, and something that will appeal to kids. The truth though, so many things went wrong with execution. I imagine if girls of the age the shirt is for were to judge, plenty of them would like the shirt. The truth is that alot of girls still care more about being pretty and then being smart. They'd see that shirt as almost a motto of their life. In all honesty, which is sadder? The shirt or the fact that some girls would happily wear it? My vote is for the latter.
