Oh what witty marketing we have seen this week. Everything from Volkswagen (VW) Fast TShirts, to the NoBleach exclusive Babes in Threads [Oh common, thats Marketing], and now FedEx.. What really surprises me is that none of the other 8,675,309 tshirt blogs didn't pick it up. But, I think I know the reason, they couldn't tell you where to buy it...
So, the crack NoBleach research team went on a tangent. We google'd, yahoooooo'd, even sold plasma to support our Starbuck caffeine binge.. But to no avil.. Then, I decided to call up FedEx and ask them where to get them. Hahaha, yeah right, trying to pry useful information out of FedEx customer service is like trying to pry the Ego out of Oprah... I'm not that stupid... But luckily, I had a trump card to cash in over at FedEx.
I rang up an old friend that used to work on their Marketing team, and asked them if they could find anything out... Well after giving me the name of someone else, I was informed that they are pretty sure it is a FedEx Marketing giveaway. My contact hadn't seen that EXACT shirt, but has heard lots of people talk about them and said that it was intended to be used at trade shows, and also sent to clients.
So, if you really want this genius marketing gem call your FedEx rep. If you don't have a FedEx Rep, then, well, you're SOL fool.
Note: Anyone Get the Tommy Tutone reference? Didn't think so.. :(

Yeah, so the world is coming to an end... So lets make sure that we look good when it happens. People freak out when you say stuff like "WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!" [Especially in a crowded elevator] -- [Or an airplane] -- [Or at church] Well, isn't this all the more reason to live life to the fullest? Right? So lets just all just get greased up with canola oil and start the worlds largest anonymous orgy... Then we can put on our Nike's and eat some special applesauce I have prepared for you... uh... ummm... uhh... and... nevermind...
Whoa, perhaps this idea needs a little work... So, in the meantime, lets just worry about the looking good part. Invicid is my kinda shirt place. Everything designed is limited to 100 shirts, so that makes them super duper unique. And for 22$ that some nice insurance to have, you know, knowing you won't run into an uggo wearing the same thing as you...
For Instance :: It's not like *cough* Threadless Tees *cough* where when you buy a shirt from them you now see every f'n 15 year old Emo asshat wearing it.. I might as well just start shopping at Hot Topic if I want to fit in with senseless derelicts. [I need to stop listening to Otep while I write these... Makes me mean...]
Anyways, This shirt is from Invicid, and is pretty cool. The whole gas mask thing usually gets over played, but this comes over very tasteful, and has a very nice supporting concepts surrounding it... Actually, you should check out all their designs, but remember, they are all limited to 100 prints, so if you see on you like, jump on it like a fat girl on cake..
Cost: $22.00 [USD, Cake]

So, what does a company do when their management is falling apart, sales are slumping, and overall product quality is rated lower than Ford? [Being rated lower than Ford for Quality, is like being rated Slower than Dom Deluise in the 100meter dash...] They come out with a kick ass ad campaign targeted at the hearts and minds of faux yuppy 20-30 somethings... Is there anything wrong with it? Nope.. Did it work? FRICK yeah! [Oh god, I just sid frick...] Hell, I've even I have considered buying one.. And I'm a uber hardcore Subaru person... [IMHO the GTi needs about 50 more HP, and VW's 4Motion AWD for < 25k to be a winner... ]
I'm not sure that the ads alone are going to encourage people to run out an Buy the new VW GTi MkV -- But it did get people looking at the VW product line again... And that is what marketing is all about... Because of this awesome achievement for VW's marketing team, I found the 'Fast is my Co Pilot' tshirt, and feel that it deserves a place in marketing history... To me this should be more of a giveaway wearable, but if you're a hardcore, enjoy...
On a side note, When you purchase the new GTi MkV, you get a 'Fast' doll with it... So, Instead of wasting time on action figures, why don't you spend that energy on making a dashboard that doesn't rattle or OEM windshield wipers that cost lest than 100$? And while your at it, come out with a limited edition MkV Turbo Diesel... **drool**

Cost: $23.95 [USD / Vee-Dub in da hause!]

You ever get that feeling when you goto bed that you have forgotten something. Every night I lay there replaying my whole day in my head, and I have this lingering feeling that there was something that I was supposed to do that day and totally forgot... Well, apparently it was that I forgot to die.. We'll despite the opinion of some [Ok, The opinion of most... I think it is a good thing... Dieing is one of those things that someone can only remember to do once. Just remember to do it at the right time, at the right place, with the right people. It's only an easy way out for yourself. For the people who love and support they have to live with it every day until they themselves remember.
This is a nice clean and simple shirt. Teetsy has some real sharp stuff including some hand sewn tees. Make sure you check them out.
Cost: $18.00 [USD / String around finger]

We love our robot shirts. Actually, We just love robots. People today still have this whole George Jetson image of the way tomorrow will be. Me, I have more of a Terminator 1,2,3 image. Thats why I wear robot Shirts. I figure that when they come to take over the earth, they will spare their #1 Super Fan! In fact, I'll go as far as saying I take a Qt of Mobil1 10w-30 everywhere I go.. [Thats also because my Turbo burns a qt every 1500 Miles, but if a robot asks... It's for them... Oh yeah, I live in a Turbo Only Household. If it doesn't have a Turbo, we don't drive it...]
So, whether you love robots, or you're just afraid of them taking over, head over to Quixotic. They have both Boy and Girl versions of this shirt, and they are very reasonably priced for a "Non Sweatshop" made shirt... [Apparently they now they have machines that can duplicate the fine close stitching of the small child labor hands.. Awesome!.. +1 for Sweatshop Free!]
P.s. Quixotic donates 10% of sales to Charity.. They are racking up enough karma points to make Angelina Jolie look like Kim Jong-il...
Cost: $15.00 [USD / Domo arigato mr Roboto]

 I like to attend the occasional monster truck rally, bike week, death metal concert, or exorcism.. But when I do, my girlfriend has absolutely nothing to wear. And I have to listen to 45mins of "Does this make me look evil?" or "Does this outfit say 'I love Satin' or 'I love Satan'..." -- Blah, Blah, Blah... So to fix this whole ordeal, I decided to pick her out some fine threads from Threadcult.com. Honestly, with testimonials like this, I know I'm buying form the best...
"... Sure, I'm a slut. But a slut with high standards (at least when it comes to my t-shirts). That's why I only shop at ThreadCult.com. They're my #1 source for Gothic clothing and crazy t-shirts. And they don't ever pass judgement on my whoring around. Thanks ThreadCult!
Melissa - Puppynuts, MN ..."
[ ... You know, If threadcult puts up more pictures of Melissa, she could easily become a NoBleach -- 'Babes in threads' -- winner... I have a soft spot for women with blue hair... I have always wondered how much attention to detail there is when you die your hair blue... Seriously, does the Carpet matched the drapes? Anyone know? Anyone? Melissa, you reading this? Call me... Or better yet, just send pictures to celly@nobleach.com. Thanks, That would be great... `Goth Sluts with blue hair` rule ... ]
[ Wow, that was a really long thought.. Perhaps I could try to make it into a paragraph... Nah... ]
Cost: $16.95 [USD / Holy Water]

We [ And by we, I mean I ] here at NoBleach spend quite a bit of time browsing tshirt sites, tshirt blogs, ebay, and only god knows where else trying to find unique items to offer up to our audience. Unfortunately, when we do find items, the people's faces and bodies usually get cut off in order to fit up in that tiny little window up there... So, I'm adding a new section... Something that I have yet to find on any other Tshirt blog... Something that Makes us, 'different', but not like short bus different, more like six toes different...
So, starting today, we will now have a "Babes In Threads" section. Yup. And to start it off, I give you Lauren. Lauren is an American Apparel Model, and lemme say.. She's pretty hot... And You know, some of the photos over there a kinda racy... [ Yup, there are also a few camels that are now walking crooked, if you know what I mean... ]
Note: If any women would like to do write ups on dudes, I'll be more than happy to add them... I'm just not "there" in my sexuality -- Not that there is anything wrong with that...

 And so does Kevin Smith and Steven King.. In fact, Kevin Smith likes it so much, he played a Store Clerk in an episode.. [ Kevin Smith playing a store clerk? Original... ] And to be honest, any male with a working penis between the ages of 18-35 should watch it too.. [ Kristen Bell is Hot. Single. And Legal...::Link to Hotness:: ]
This week, Dick Casablancas, Played by Ryan Hansen, was wearing a shirt that said "there is a u in ugly". Apparently, this is a 1 off, because after using my tivoogle skills [tivo+google=Tivoogle] all I could find was "You put the u in Ugly". Now, in order for something to be super witty, you can't have both 'You' and 'U' in it. And the whole "You put the U in Ugly" just sounds stupid. "there is a u in ugly" is more of a play off of "there is no I in team" which makes it super duper witty and funny. Like, Super, Super, Super, Duper, Double Dog, +Eleventy Billion, witty and funny... [ With a Cherry on Top ]
So, since it appears the shirt was a 1 off (it looked to be made with iron ons) I present it as a "Make This Shirt!" -- Seriously, us pretty people need a way to keep reminding the uglies of the world where they stand. They might have some self confidence that needs to be crushed!

Ahh yes, Bloodhound Gang. Driving into work this morning, I had the Sirius Radio pumping, and the next thing you know, they start cranking the Bloodhoung Gang. [ And I'm not talking about "Whenever there's trouble, we're there on the double, we're the Bloodhound Gang. If you've got the crime, we've got the time, we're the Bloodhound Gang." ]
Anyways, as I turn up my stereo to 11, I thought to myself.. "Self, We need find a cool wookie shirt...." So after some searching, and lots of flat out awful shirts, I managed to dig up a good one. I'm honestly not the biggest Star Wars fan. In fact, I'm pretty sure Star Wars Sucks. [ However, I have argued that Phantom Menace is one of the greatest animated movies of all time... ] But, Wookies are still cool, mostly due to the fact that their hair is so silky and shiny.. What do you think that is? Pert Plus? Aussie? Hmmmm...
Cost: €32 [ Euros / Wash Rinse Repeat ]

The TV Show Scrubs must have some costume designer that just sits on the Internet all day and look for crazy ass tees to put on the show. I think I recognize a good 50-60% of what they wear... But on occasion they stump me. Last nights episode "My Own Personal Hell" had JD wearing this tee... And after some ass quick Tivo'n, and a quick google [ There is nothing I can't accomplish with a Tivo and Google... I call it My Tivoogle Skills! ] I found it, and now I present it to my NoBleech Peeps!
The reason this shirt is so cool, is it's subtle. [ And it was created by "2 Jewish Cowgirls..." Now there is a Version of Brokeback Mountain I'd love to see... ] Anyways, It lets tribe members know who you are, and lets the ignorants thinking your a carnivore. Win. Win. The rest of the stuff over at ChosenCouture.com is really great as well. I mean, where else can you buy a Dog yarmulke and tallis? Yeah, thats right... I said it.. Dog yarmulke and tallis...
Cost: $28.00 [USD / Matzo]
