homoeopathic Shirts

[Richard]

Someone had to do it...

Granted, but it would have been nice if that someone could produce something of higher standard.

The slogan fails by being neither funny, striking or subtle.

[Richard]

It does not fail to get right to the point.

Anyway, what would you suggest?

[ilk]

Oh, but it's much easier to find fault than to offer suggestions. :D

How about a middle finger surrounded by the slogan: "Homeopathy? Dilute this!"

That would at least have the quality of being offensive, which is an excellent t-shirt attribute.

[Richard]

hehehee

As it is, the shirts are totaly offensive to believers, just the people who I'd like to rub up the wrong way.

Still, nothing stopping me putting up another line....

How about,

Homoeopathy
How deluded can you get?


:p

That's brilliant. :D

I like the shirts on the cafepress site, but I think there should be a few more slogans for variety's sake. The above one is absolutely stellar. I'd buy it. :)

The only kind they make...

couldn't they think of a better slogan and a trendier clothing line?

Skeptic Fashion Sensei says: "I'm afraid we're losing the battle to the homoeopaths here!"

Electron Microscopy has yielded a particle of shirt-ness (or a 'Shirton') in a homeopathic shirt mixture.

It is to the far right of this image taken of a batch of shirt-energised water.

Love it, although 'whack job' is not used as an expression in Australia. So I put "See also: quackery

Anyway, it's on the backs of the shirts. Keep those ideas coming!

I certainly hope so :)

[Matabiri]

How about some Ambrose Bierce?

HOMOEOPATHIST, n.
The humorist of the medical profession.
HOMOEOPATHY, n.
A school of medicine midway between Allopathy and Christian Science. To the last both the others are distinctly inferior, for Christian Science will cure imaginary diseases, and they can not.

What is a homoeopath anyway?

Is it a homeopath that specializes in treating homosexuals?

Is it a homeopath that specializes in treating homosexuals? Just to be serious for a moment, the original word was a German neologism coined by Samuel Hahnemann - "Homöopathie". It is conventional when using such German words in languages which have no umlaut to add an "e" following the umlauted letter to signify the presence of the umlaut. This yields "homoeopathy", often spelled with an oe ligature in place of the o-umlaut.

More recently, starting in Merika where they seem to like leaving out letters almost at random, the original o has been dropped, leaving only the e whose original purpose was to take the place of the umlaut.

Both spellings can be found with quite wide distribution.

Yeah, so did I. :) I had "The Emperor's New Clothes" running through my mind.

[LTC8K6]

I think that spelling is just another British plot.....

[Metullus]

Yeaah, and they probably spell it "plotte"!

We're just more efficient ;)

That, and you know, have to be PC and all...those umlauts were used by Hitler, so we can't go printing them things in front of impressionable children, and all. We just change the channel over to Super-Laser Fighting-Spandex Rebel-Teen Action Heroes for the little tykes. Much better for ,em, teaches ,em to shoot properly.

:D

What color is a $100 homeopathic tie-tyed T-shirt?

LOL!! I think you're on to a great marketing idea here, with these slogans! :)
