Missing turtle: The t-shirt
Filed under: Fashion, News, Best of the Season, Stylish Living
Mediocre hits home with this great green t-shirt. At first glance "Missing Turtle" suggests a wayward pet and perhaps conjures images of a sad child and lonely, lonely tears- but funny.
This, however, is not the case. A closer reading of the t-shirt message and the punchline sinks in:
Answers to Michaelangelo. His favorite food is pizza, but he hates anchovies. He has an orange blindfold cut out for the eyes. Keep an eye out at the clubs and bars because he's a party dude. Be careful because he has nun-chucks. His owner really misses him. Call splinter at 555-4372.

Yes, they are talking about a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (TMNT). Remember them? Seems like they were recently making a comeback, hope they find Michaelangelo soon.
This shirt is clever enough that it made us wonder, why not make shirts for real pets? People lose animals everyday- it sucks. Fliers get discarded and posters get soaked with rain or covered in other posters for other lost pets. Nothing funny about that.
Seems like the market is there, Mediocre. Call us.
