Hatemail
Here is a small sampling of some hatemail we have received from our viewers. All bad grammar and typos are left intact. We hope you enjoy! :)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hate to burst your bubble, but you guys are lightyears ahead of the other tshirt sites you copied from. The battered women shirt is not even remotely funny by the way, nor are any of your other shirts.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You guys have some really xenophobic, anti-immigrant t-shirt designs. Fuck your company. I hope you feel the strains of our conservative-weakened economy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You need to edit the first sentence of your "About Us" page. Your designs are just as lame as every other company out there.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was about to buy one of your t-shirts until I saw the shirt that read "a cat blinks when hit with a hammer".You should be ashamed. Animals possess no feelings of malevolence; they only try to survive. To wield power over a harmless creature is a sign of mental illness. Lose the shirt and I'm sure you'd get more business, maybe even mine.

these are some of the dumbest shirts ever. whats the deal with insulting mexicans and people from west virginia? being mean is not the same thing as being funny. re-arranging words and phrases is not the same thing as being witty
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can appreciate off-color humor, but you lost my business with the blatantly racist ones...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of your t's are actually a bit offensive. Funny and even a little contrived is great, but some of these are cruel and inhumane. (animal cruelty and racism are not funny) Not a respectable method for making money. You actually lost my business as a result.

Greetings :
I just was looking at your web page and was all ready to place an order until I scrolled down to the bottom and saw the "cat hit with a hammer" t-shirt . How can you be so insensitive to sell a shirt with such a cruel and ignorant message on it ? Don't tell me its all in fun . I've had pet cats killed by people that have the same amount of intellegence as whoever it was that thought up the idea for that shirt . So , thanks , but no thanks . I won't be doing business with ignorant , mean spirited people like yourselves .

Hi, I was wondering what city you call home? The quarter to go back to Mexico t-shirt leads me to believe that you live in a city that does not include Latinos. Most Latinos are working class, not begging class. Sure there are some beer-addicted exceptions, but that is true with all ethnicities. You see, where I live (Oregon) all the people, young and old, that are begging for money are white. So, maybe you should also make a shirt that say, "If I pay for your beer, will you go back to Ireland."

The half naked woman on your site is very offensive. We all should believe in equal rights. Not that one gender is the exploitable property or another. Surely you can find a more sophisticated way to sell shirts.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
people who wear your shirts should be shot. People who sell them should be tortured first.

Dear Administrators of Better Than Pants,
Why did you even concieve to make such a product? Even though it may only be a shirt even that is enough to influence general society, it has the power to twist society and bring it even further down into choas. You are twisting the sexual views of today's generation and perhaps forever ruining the planets morals. You are twisting the moral views of an entire generation which will only result in choas. You are twisting teenagers views of respect, honor, and disipline. You are only damaging society by spreading you filth around the globe!!! I speak for all society when I say you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Stop selling rebelious and dishonoring products!!!

SUBJECT: YOU SUCK! Your shirts suck. I would never buy such a stupid shirt like the monstrocities that you have on your site. Good luck with getting no orders!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBJECT: Better Than Pants (Very Important) I would like to talk to the owner of Better Than Pants immediately. My son was viewing your page and luckily I happend to walk by the computer while this was occuring. I am a Christian and so is my son. This kind of filth and pornography is what makes the internet dangerous for young boys and girls as well as the immature adults. If this kind of content wasn't available on the internet maybe the world would be a better place and safer. Please contact me as soon as possible. Once again, I would like to talk to the owner immediately. ~ Nicole

To Whom It May Concern:
I was recently shown your "Funny" t-shirts by a friend of mine. After browsing the shirts on your site I found most, if not all of them to be offensive and in distaste. How anyone gets the nerve to make a product as repulsive as these shirts is beyond me. Do you have any sales?? I didn't think so… because anyone who would wear a shirt as nasty as these would be degrading themselves and those who associate with them. I really hope this site makes zero sales and will be shut down soon!!! Again these shirts are disrespectful, degrading, and repulsive!!!!!
With Love, Mike Kimble
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You should be ashamed of yourselves and anyone affiliated with you should be ashamed of themselves. Your tshirts are immoral and are polluting the Internet. Just like pornography and all of that kind of filth, you are basically demonstrating the same ignorance and poor taste. I hope to see your web site closed and your owners in jail soon!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are going to hell. Really! You stupid disgusting fucks!!!!!!!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Listen up you pieces of trash. You are a burden on society. The only customer's that you probably have are the young children that don't even understand the meaning of most of your tshirts. The shirts are insulting to women, but of course you know that and totally support that fact. A DISGRACE! Karma is a bitch and you'll get what you have coming to you. Wait and see!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see your advertisement all over the web and must say that you are wasting your money. No one can actually be buying your tshirts, especially for Christmas. Christmas is suppose to be a Religious Holiday and yet you disgrace it by selling your tshirts and promoting them for this holiday.

Hello, I make t-shirts myself and I don't have to ruin young minds and exploit sex and females to sell them. I run a completely Christian t-shirt shop and our t-shirts are tasteful and funny. I guarantee that you can come up with more friendly ideas that will sell just as well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You guys are obvious idiots! Who would buy these tees? If I see anyone in my area wearing one of your tshirts I will seriously hurt them for being so dumb just like your web site. 8===D in your mouth!!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These tshirts are sucky. Why don't you do something constructive with your talents.

SUBJECT: Stupid...
Your tshirts are not offensive and do not even make sense. I don't know what your demographic is but I must be out of the loop with todays youth because I can't even figure out what your shirts are about. Shocker? Pearl Necklace? Team Ramrod? What the fuck is that?
You might have a customer if I could understand your designs!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Great! Another funny shirt company. Very original guys...about 100 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUBJECT: Problem with your Products
For my sons birthday, he requested a teeshirt from your site. After a quick once over, we chose the shirt at the top "Mike Hawks Taxidermy". My son wore this shirt to school, and was suspended, only then did I find out the "Double Meaning" you have hid in your shirts. "My Cock Taxidermy" "I'll Stuff Your Beaver" very mature. I am going to sue you, and I want you to put up a page that explains the meanings of all your shirts to us "less hip" parents who happen to wonder onto your smut peddling website. Also I want you to pay for my son to go to private school until his suspension is lifted, as I do not think he knew the meaning of the shirt either (He is only 11). My husband thinks this is one big hilarious joke, but I assure you that I will proceed with any means possible to have people like you who sell shirts with secret filthy messages to children locked up in a jail cell for a long time.
Hiding sinful subliminal messages in shirts it's not a proper way to do business, sir.
