Big Fat Robot has a victim
The Japanese writing is suppose to mean “Big Fat Robot”. However, my translation skills are extremely rusty, so for all those Nipponphiles out there, please tell me if my hanes and ten tens are where they should be.
Actually, I don’t mind if it’s horribly wrong, afterall there is a huge market in Japan for meaningless English phrases (go to http://www.engrish.com/ for many hilarious examples). So it should work the other way with equally amusing results. In fact, I remember seeing a GI type wandering around Roppongi with a tshirt written in Japanese kanji, it said “baka gaijin” (idiot foreigner). Not sure if it was an ironic statement on his behalf, or he just thought the letters looked pretty.

Well, i said i wanted to find this on a tee and here it is! I couldn’t be happier…well, unless I found it in urban vinyl as well. That would also be cool. x

Fantastic! This is the kind of shirt I look for every time I go to the shops and yet always come away disappointed. Good job!

Great design and color work. YTou are right about the noncense T’s. I am in Thailand, and most here have no idea what their T acually says, much less, what it was supposed to say. Haaa!
