    Who was born in July, and if you mess with his family, they won’t find the body, but he’s also a real softie!

    So some people actually buy these shirts?

    Yes. we had sellers who made $1M+/mo off facebook ads for these things.

    That’s crazy. I don’t really use social media (and i use adblock) so I’ve only just come across these shirts.

    I’m genuinely surprised and disappointed that so many people would be attracted to something so amazingly lame.

    Is it supposed to be ironic? Like it’s so lame that it’s cool? Or do people just like it?

    Have you seen the shit that's sold in gift stores in tourist areas? People love stupid crap.

    No, they don't. That's my demo. We don't. If 0.005% of Boomers buy this junk and 0.0005% of Gen Z buys it, that doesn't mean it's boomer fodder.

    I just get shitty hoodies with Pink Floyd/Rush album art covering all of it. If they at least could make cool bootleg band shirts, would be nice. But it always looks like something a douche would wear.

    I hate mine personally. February is cold and has an ugly birthstone.

    Amethyst is a nice birthstone. I wouldn't call it ugly.

    You got it. Look at the geode in front of the Hall of Minerals in the American Museum of Natural History. FULL of amethyst. Amazing. If you're ever there, take a flash photo in front of it. It comes out looking like deep space with twinkling stars. Really cool.

    I read that as "I hate my personality." Pretty funny, considering the preceding comment.

    I love winter but I hate that stone. Come again, do we have amethyst or rose quartz? Both are basic af and I despise them, so I can never remember which one is ours

    Try having black onyx as your stone. Absolutely no light comes out of it. No joyful colors. Just pitch black soulless nothingness. Yayyyy!

    Pride is often a reaction against mockery. When a person's birth month is two months after their parents' anniversary, they might just want to cop an attitude about how they, "get knocked down, but I get up again." And so they are proud of their birth month. Now, the day is uncertain, since Mom was too drunk to remember. And that explains the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome that drives the rapid switch to anger of the person wearing this shirt. Kind of like the Parkland shooter. He was probably wearing this shirt on that day.

    That’s the point right? :) just think the Boeing 747 just celebrated its 50 anniversary. Without all the insane shipping that has been needed that aircraft would probably have to be sent to the Airplane Boneyard.

    I discovered these shirts after searching "Kid rock t shirt" yesterday and can't get enough of them. I'm curious to know what the most specific one is.

    Gentlemen, may I ask if you guys would ever re-consider the no "Where to buy" rule, or allowing submitters to include a link to buy in the comments section?

    I feel as though a majority of this community has an interest in buying the shirts that get posted. Do they not?
