Yes it's the funny-once aspect that puts me off. The t-shirt is used as a throwaway item, too much in my opinion. I think of cotton farmers, pesticides, fossil fuels, water, all the other resources that go into a t-shirt. Workers' rights too. None of this stops me buying t-shirts and I'm not at all strict about choosing the ones with 'ethical' labels on, but it does put me off most jokey slogans. Also they don't suit my body shape or my personal 'style'.
