New Podcast- Smells Like Crap Talkin- Episode 1- Smells Like Hate Mail

 

Whats up everybody! Today I present to you the new and Official podcast of Smellyfingertshirts.com. Have you wondered what I sound like, well wonder no more.

 

This podcast is called Smells Like Crap Talkin, and todays episode is called Smells Like Hate Mail.  Today I go into a rant about the Hate mail that I recieved on Ebay of all places.  I talk a little about my self and some of my faults. I'll also tell you a little story about where the name Smelly Finger Tshirts comes from. 

The Hate Mail Has Landed- Part 2 Is This Racist?

This is the next part of the blog just before this one. The Reason I wanted to write this one is to ask one question, Take a look at the picture in the window right there, Is that picture racist? I was asking myself that question when I first made the design and before I posted it.

I originally posted that picture on eBay with the best of intent only trying to be funny, maybe a little offensive but not racist offensive. Then something happened that calmed all my worries, it started to sell and became one of my best shirts. I concluded that it must be funny and not racist because there are a few people that wanted it and liked it enough to spend money on it…. Right?

The only reason I don’t mind being called a racist bastard is because its not true. What did this guy think that he was going to hurt my feelings. As a matter of fact I’m going to print out his email and frame it on my wall. Most people frame their first dollar, not me, I’m going to frame my first legit Hate Mail. Its going to push me to make even more offensive stuff and even be more offensive…. But not in a racist way.

I guess you cant control the way people interpret your jokes.

Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

The Hate Mail Has Landed

As you can tell by looking at this blog page, I sell shirts. Specifically I sell shirts on Ebay. Its a lot of fun to do too, and pajamas all day aren’t bad either. I like to do my thing as best I can, if you follow my twitter account you already know I like or try to be funny. But a joke doesn’t always come off the way it should, sometimes people just don’t get it.

It finally happened, I knew it would one day but I thought it would have happened a long time ago. The dreaded HATE MAIL. I wish it bothered me more than it does but I cant get mad because I can understand where he’s coming from. But at the same time I was outraged. As a little treat (because we’re such good friends) I’m going to show you what the email said. This is a direct quote.

“It's America and freedom of speech exists. So I'm gonna use mine to to call you a racist bastard for promoting the klan.”

When I first read this I was about to get really upset but then I thought about it for a second. The whole point of comedy is to create an emotional reaction in the listener or reader in this instance. This guy got so angry at my little design he flew off the handle and sent me an email. That doesn’t seem like much until you realize how much effort it takes to come up with the right words that are going to evoke an emotional response while at the same time show how angry you are and how little you have to do that day.

I mean come on, he could have tried a little harder. That hate mail could have been sent to me in a tweet, if your going to hate me its going to take a lot more than that to rattle me.

There is going to be a part 2 of this but for now I gotta say I’M NOT RACIST YOU STUPID (insert racial slur that applies)!!
