Pizza, the staple for lunch and dinner across the world, also breakfast for some I guess. I have capitalized the “P” in Pizza because I feel it’s earned the capitalization. The first Pizzeria in North America was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi at 53 1/3 Spring Street in New York City, and some of the very first Pizzas, as we know it showed up in Brooklyn, New York in the 1930′s. However, cheese on dough has been around for centuries in the Mediteranean, and may have been discovered by the Egyptians, as was beer and braces!
Now, well into the 21st century the dominance of Italians creating and selling Pizza has evolved quite a bit. Pizza chains like Pizza Hut, Domino’s, Papa John’s, and Little Caesar’s who may have been founded by Italians are now owned and operated by groups of people who never ate Pizza before they arrived in the U.S. Furthermore, and especially in New York, most of the Italian Pizza restaurants are staffed by Hispanic men. Who prepare the dough from scratch, add the toppings, bake, and sell without the assistance of one Italian. Not that there’s anything wrong with that except for the name of the Pizza joint is Anthony’s and not Juan’s!
The fact is immigrant workers from Hispanic countries offer dirt cheap labor and the Italian owners need every penny to afford the mansions and fancy cars they flaunt in the Gold Coast. Not to say they’re not working hard and spending time each day overseeing their Pizza operations, but should these employees be exploited for their lack of rights, as many political leaders refer as “illegal aliens” in the United States. How can anyone be illegal when man wasn’t created by man, but was created by God or the Earth itself?
I don’t want to just expose Italians here, pretty much every ethnic group in the U.S. exploits these immigrants including former immigrants who have done well for themselves, and have forgotten where they’ve come from apparently. Whatever your opinion, albeit the wealthy Italian Pizza shop owner, the exploited immigrant or “illegal alien” for all you die hard patriots, or the holier than thou writer who writes articles like this, this t-shirt by Dishonest Apparel at dishonestees.com is a great way to express your vote for more delicious Pizza! A Mexican sporting a sombrero with the text “MEXICO” on the hat, the text on the tee shirt reads “Anthony’s Pizzeria” pretty clever!
Photosynthesis is the intangible life blood of our planet that provides us with everything that is basic to human survival and evolution. With all the different business and influence that these sun rays are getting mixed into one specific entity is left behind in the list of the many benefactors that are digging on these good vibrations of UV penetration. The party in question is the infamous Lego Man who leads a secluded and mysterious existence within his silicon confines. Given his material composition most would think the Suns powerful rays would be a deterrent to his way of life and eventually soften his skin and leave it ripe for an unseemly bondage to anyone of the foreign object he has connected onto, or into, his body. In reality Lego Man is a photophile who would tan his hide to a crisp auburn if it weren’t for the protective walls of his cylindrical abode. Lego Man has been seen tracking the arc of that burning star across its fiery path and absorbing every beam he can. We at Dishonest Apparel salute you Lego Man, may you’re tan last and your innate hunger be quenched by nightfall.
You know there was a day when I thought all graffiti was a sin…until I helped create a company that could make money selling it. Then I really supported it as a true art.
Seriously though, it wasn’t until I went to Rio De Janiero that I truly became overwhelmed with the talent behind many graffiti artists. I must have taken 400 pictures of Graffiti alone in Rio. They are all in one album, so if you are interested, just email me and you can come over, eat mango slices and flip through my album.
But, like any great art, you take the good with the bad. Talent with the mendicants. All over Brazil you will find incredible art that is totally covered by less talented ‘men of the evening’ who scratch some illiterate phrase on the wall and brag about it every time they pass their ‘territory’.
Anyway, in efforts to keep promoting the good of the underground art, check out Kelly Towles & TitiFreak! If you are a graffiti artist and want DHT to represent you in our apparel line, let us know!

Lets face it Bad Santa was the greatest Christmas film ever made! The plot has something for everybody, it touches on all of societies underlings, house wives, bi-curious mall managers, senile grandparents who always want to make sure that you have eaten, nosey neighbors, drunks, Arab drunks who are struggling with there own sexuality , ass clowns, scheming midgets(my father always told me to beware of those who are close to the ground), greedy Asian women who rock gaudy visors, big & tall women making ass love in department store dressing rooms, security guards who are too smart for their own good, local bullies with nothing better to do, local bartenders waiting for Mr. Right to take them away from their present reality, urine scented children waiting on line to tell Santa what they want, parents who can care less about their children, hot tub sex, extreme liver damage, lunch breaks, the true meaning of Christmas, and of course Thurman Merman.
Therman Merman
Thurman is the true meaning of Christmas. He is an Innocent child who has an estranged family, a heart of gold and a Advent calendar. The kid knows that fornicating drunk shacked up with him is not Santa but he needs something to believe in and he needs some type of male role model. The shirt below is a true way to show you’re Christmas spirit and support for the little guy. Rock it loud, rock it proud.
The graphic t-shirt market has grown leaps and bounds the past 10 years, especially the past 5 years on the internet. Web based graphic tee shirt companies like palmercash.com, bustedtees.com, dishonestapparel.com, dishonestees.com, threadless.com, brandnewclothing.com, spreadshirt.com, snorgtees.com, and tshirthell.com are dominating the market all with very unique products and website features. The reason for this article is to shed some light on the overall quality of the t-shirts offered on these popular funny tee shirt websites. Some print these awesome designs on cheap Gilden or Hanes thick neck, heavy weight tees, others actually offer Organic cotton t shirts that fit well and feel great.
Threadless.com having 600,000 members as of late, and has grown solely through word of mouth and search engine optimization over the past 5 years. This kind of growth although not shocking when compared to facebook.com and other fast growing community based websites with membership in the millions, this t-shirt company with no brick and mortar to date has done incredibly well. The success of their WOM is mostly due to their unique web features including a weekly and ongoing t-shirt design contest
where the Designs with the most votes are put into production and the winning artists receive large cash rewards ($500 to $22,500 for the Design of the year award). The submission process is relatively cumbersome for the inexperienced and somewhat experienced graphic artist however, nothing comes easy so learn it, come up with a cool design, and submit it. They previously printed on American Apparel t-shirts which have a pretty good fit and quality, but now they offer their very own custom made Threadless brand which has a better overall fit and feel.
Next we take a look at DishonestApparel.com who offers subtle and in your face humor Designs on super high quality Organic cotton t-shirts. They formerly used Alternative Apparel t-shirts, but they have recently switched over to their own custom threads. First off their Michael Jackson Memorial Tribute t-shirt really stood out amongst the thousands offered online. Here is a thumbnail:
They have a somewhat similar platform to Threadless however, they require submitted Designs to incorporate in your face humor or clever ideas and subtle humor. They also have a monthly Video submission contest and a weekly Auction on top of the monthly funny graphic t-shirt submission contest. The community is made up of artists that include filmmakers, amateur and professional who produce funny videos that express the humor behind the funny graphic tee shirts on the website. Apparently, these videos are called t-shorts, t-shorts.com is an affiliation with DishonestApparel.com and stages the monthly “t-short” funny video contest. I embedded two of their pretty cool videos here:
Further, the dishonestapparel.com community has members who are graphic artists, amateur artists and fans. The submission process was more user friendly and straight forward than threadless.com, but the cash rewards are much less. The only benefit that I found with these cheapskates was their community isn’t nearly as large as Threadless giving an artist a better chance of winning and winning cash prizes more often. Especially, since you can resubmit a design over and over each month if it doesn’t win. Dishonest Apparel, formerly known as Dishonestees Inc. made their mark recently selling Barack Obama t-shirts where Obama is a buddha in the lotus position, actually here
I copied it from their website, they also did a “Om Bama” tee shirt with the Om symbol. The last thing I really liked was their flat rate shipping on U.S. orders.
Bustedtees.com in association with CollegeHumor.com has dominated the funny t-shirt market for quite some time. They have a fully stocked inventory of in your face humor tees that college kids go crazy for.
Simple stupid is their inventory offering funny t-shirts and humor hoodies mainly on average quality t-shirts and hooded sweatshirts. They also have a promotion going when you buy 4 tees you get free shipping, not a bad deal.
Snorgtees.com I think may be a duplicate site also by colleghumor.com which offers great funny tee shirts just all different designs than bustedtees.com
Tshirthell.com is unbelievably crude, rude, and down right disgusting when it comes to graphic tees, with a slogan that says it all “where all the bad shirts go.” Their website is unappealing to most that don’t appreciate the dark side of life.
Their website is similar to Busted and Snorg however, they also offer contests like “Lazy Little Bitch” and “T-shirt Whores” contests where people submit photos of themselves wearing one of Tshirthell’s shirts. Quite a bit of nudity to say the least, but that’s what sells! Definitely a unique concept that work well. As far as t shirt quality is concerned they print on heavy weight Hanes tees, so nothing to write home about, but does the job!
Cultureshoq.com and their online store theyardli.com is an interesting site offering fresh clothing and news about celebrities and the newest threads to hit the streets. Of course, featuring “DON” clothing totally representing the Italian American die hards of New York.
They offer a variety of Brands from Nike and Stussy wear to Sebago Lighthouse boots, Dishonest Apparel t-shirts, and Ksubi women’s denim; and various underground Brands. Their theme is super original and super fresh quality and cuts. They also have a brick and mortar for those that need to touch and feel before buying anything online
Brandnewclothing.com is another site that offers some cool high quality however, they have a very limited selection and some product areas like “shorts” have nothing to purchase. Since we are focusing on Graphic t-shirts, they offer some original graphic tees using their brand name and some interesting imagery,
but what caught my eye was their graphic underwear selection, definitely limited, but this stands out amongst the rest.
Lastly, I’ll mention PalmerCash.com which offers “random and classic” graphic tees. They have a very original and nice vintage feel to their products and their site is quite organized and easy to navigate to products.
Especially nice was the option to look by Brand, Style, Artist, Color, or On Sale, definitely a great webstore feature. The t shirt quality seems to be adequate also with a nice fit and good feel. The funniest thing about their site would be their “about us” section which has old school photos of the founders in fancy frames. They don’t seem to have any t-shirt contests, but they do have a tee shirt giveaway. Palmer cash offers flat rate shipping which is helpful.
Could it be true, the King of Pop likes to “play” with little boys? Well you need to break open a package of evidence, stir in a little common sense, add a dash of factual info and a sprinkle of statistical data and you might have your answer.
Michael Jackson was accused of kissing, masturbating, and giving and taking oral sex to then-13-year-old child, Jordan Chandler. Jackson and Jordan had become friends in May 1992, to the father’s disapproval and concern. MJ apparently used a sedative Sodium Amytal, also known as “truth serum” to coerce little Jordan to “play with him.”
On the other hand, the father Evan Chandler threatened to go to the press if Michael Jackson didn’t fork over $22 million dollars. Try to put yourselves into the shoes of a father whose son was sexually abused, would you ask for money like some pimp or break the legs and pinky finger of the singer?
Now we get to “Common Sense.” Take a look at this image
and take away the fact that over 750 million audio products of his were sold.
Would you let your 13 year old play with this freaky looking dude?….I don’t f$%&en think so! Next we look at the actual definition of child sex abuse:
Child sexual abuse is a form of child abuse in which an adult or older adolescent abuses a child for sexual stimulation.[1][2] Forms of CSA include asking or pressuring a child to engage in sexual activities (regardless of the outcome), indecent exposure of the genitals to a child, displaying pornography to a child, actual sexual contact against a child, physical contact with the child’s genitals, viewing of the child’s genitalia without physical contact, or using a child to produce child pornography.wikipedia.org]
Lastly, the statistical data, 15 out of 100 Americans have been either a molested child or a molester, and more often than not a molested child will grow up to also molest children.
The final factor not mentioned above is “Fame Factor.” Clearly Michael Jackson has a fame factor of 10. OJ Simpson has a Fame Factor of about 6 before he was accused of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and her “friend” Ronald Goldman in 1994; and he was acquitted, so what do you think the verdict would be for a simple child molestation accusation for someone with a higher Fame Factor?
Anyway, regardless of what I think or you think, but what I think is clearly more important because I’m writing this masterpiece, Michael Jackson was an incredible artist and I’m the proud owner of this awesome Michael Jackson memorial tribute t-shirt from dishonestapparel.com
Being an air guitar expert requires dedication and hours of practice. See Video.
No need for expensive equipment, no need for roadies, and no need for tuning and sound checks. Becoming an air guitar expert means you can become a rock star without massive financial expense. Except of course investment in clothes and tickets to conventions like the US Air Guitar Championship, and the UK Air Guitar Championship.
You will, of course have to devote hours to developing your routine and your unique stand out style. You’ll need a really good knowledge of your rock repertoire and loads of eye catching energy.
How you become an air guitar expert probably begins by picking a proxy such as a tennis racket and rocking away in the bedroom in front of the mirror. You then develop your air guitar skills in clubs and discos. After some dutch courage you’ll be on the floor to Steppenwolfs Born to be Wild, The Stones, Honky Tonk Women, a Guns and Roses, Metallica, Queen, or Black Sabbath Track, strumming the air frets and wielding your imaginary axe as you become air guitar lead for the best unsigned rock band in the world.
The bonus of becoming an air guitar [hero] is of course the fact that you don’t really need to know those finger stretching specialist chords like E minor, diminished, seventh, reversed, outer, inverted, open twelfth sharp major. Those special chords that are ‘the sound’ of the track are no longer a problem. You never have to miss a note or deal with a broken string. You might however be mindful of refrettitive strain injury, a stiff neck, and inadvertent knee tremelo.
So, what are you waiting for? Slam a cd in the deck, or an Mp3 player in the docking station, position the mirror, and air wheel that opening chord, and remember convincing air guitar performances demand skill and energy.
…of which I am also one. So in efforts to make my own draft party more enjoyable, we have unleashed another shirt with a perfectly true secondary meaning.

When people conjure up images of dishonest people they usually envision someone of low social standing, organized criminal intent, sticky fingers, PCP, ripped sock toes, dirty draws, a pronounced limp, sullied genes and Ole’ St.Nick. What people rarely envision are tax paying citizens who are heads of corporations (except the Financial ones) and well respected organizations. Check out this quick list of some deviously dishonest individuals…don’t believe everything that you read, especially on resumes.
Dishonest resumes submissions:
Ronald Zarrella, Bausch & Lomb, CEO
Misdemeanor: Zarrella falsely claimed an MBA from New York University’s Stern School of Business. He attended the program from 1972-76, but never earned his MBA. His claim was never checked by his prior employers.
Punishment: He was forced to forfeit $1.1 million dollars from a bonus that could’ve potentially reached $1.65 million. Zarrella remained employed with Bausch & Lomb, who said he brought too much value to the company and it shareholders to fire him completely.
George O’Leary, ex-Notre Dame Football Coach
Misdemeanor: In 2001, O’Leary divulged his lies about his academic and athletic backgrounds. He claimed to have a master’s degree in education from New York University and to have played college football and earned three letters while doing so. Contrarily, O’Leary was a student at NYU but did not earn a degree, and while he played football, he never earned a letter, let alone played in a game.
Punishment: Five days after he was hired, O’Leary resigned. “Many years ago, as a young married father, I sought to pursue my dream as a football coach,” he said in a statement. “In seeking employment, I prepared a résumé that contained inaccuracies regarding my completion of course work for a master’s degree and also my level of participation in football at my alma mater. These misstatements were never stricken from my résumé or biographical sketch in later years.”
Marilee Jones, Admissions Dean for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Misdemeanor: Jones fudged her credentials, claiming to be a “scientist with degrees in biology from Rennselaar Polytechnic Institute and the Albany Medical College,” and to have her doctorate. Jones said in a statement she “did not have the courage to correct my résumé when I applied for my current job or at any time since.”
Punishment: Jones resigned in April 2007 after officials learned of her fabrications. MIT’s dean for undergraduate education said MIT couldn’t “tolerate this kind of behavior.”
Kenneth Lonchar, CFO of Veritas software
Misdemeanor: Lonchar fabricated his education, saying he earned an accounting degree from Arizona State University and was a Stanford MBA graduate — in reality, all he had was an undergraduate degree from Idaho State University.
Punishment: Lonchar resigned and Veritas stock investors responded — the company’s stock price fell about 16 percent.
Jeff Papows, CEO of Lotus Corporation
Misdemeanor: In 1999, The Wall Street Journal discovered Papows exaggerated his military record (he was a lieutenant not a captain), feigned his education (he doesn’t have a Ph.D. from Pepperdine University) and claimed he was an orphan (his parents are alive and well).
Punishment: Papows resigned after his exaggerations were exposed at the same time as a sexual discrimination allegation from a former Lotus employee against him. Papows is now the chairman and CEO of Maptuit Corporation.
Dave Edmondson, CEO of RadioShack
Misdemeanor: Edmondson falsified his résumé by claiming to have a degree in psychology from Pacific Coast Baptist College in California (though the school doesn’t offer a psychology program), along with a degree in theology from the same unaccredited college.
Punishment: Like the others, Edmondson admitted his false claims and resigned.
