Hence, when I said "I think" and when I said "I can't speak for" I was making it clear that I was merely <I>speculating</I> about the shirt, giving <I>my own opinion</I> about it, and not making any kind of categorical statement about the character of the shirt. Seems pretty straightforward to me.<BR/><BR/>People are free to like/love/dislike/hate anything that I post about. But arguing about the validity or legality of a design with me is pointless, because I'm just the messenger.<BR/><BR/>Carry on.Simonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10753590650671064496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686770325584114727.post-57581334179032528922008-09-16T18:08:00.000-05:002008-09-16T18:08:00.000-05:00that is one nasty looking Illustrator job, bike looks like it's made of legos with pong style handbars.<BR/><BR/>Please note: if you buy this shirt you will get clowned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686770325584114727.post-81744122306993241132008-09-12T20:47:00.000-05:002008-09-12T20:47:00.000-05:00This ain't legit.
