Britney Sports SC Shirt Again?

By fitsnews • on June 15, 2009

We’re not entirely convinced that there isn’t some Indigo Girls sub-current at work here … you know, a deliberate Photoshop superimposition contrived to appeal to our founding editor’s oft-expressed (and once inadvertently globalized) girl-on-girl obsession.

Well … except now that we think of it, it’s doubtful the “perpetrators” of this web pitch would have used the Indigo Girls for such a purpose, since Amy and Emily are neither hot nor bi-curious (two qualities Sic Willie insists upon when the subject turns – as it often does – to “girl-on-girl” things).

Britney Spears? Now she’s another story … usually a much happier story.

Anyway, whatever the aim of this particular “pitcher” … it worked. Because here we are writing a story about them.

And as clueless (and unconcerned) as we are over the true meaning of the “See … oh, seek Amy!” T-shirt that’s being peddled by our new friends over at The Discust, we’ve got to hand the brand spankin’ new website a few well-earned props for its “cutting edge South Carolina satire.”

And yes, kids … you can use that in your promotional literature.

In fact, here’s an excerpt from a hilarious Discust post about S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford – he of the notorious frugality – refusing to accept a $1.00 off coupon at Harris Teeter …

Governor Sanford was at the center of yet another controversy today when he refused to accept a discount at the Harris Teeter in downtown Columbia.

“I didn’t ask for that discount, and I don’t think I should be forced to accept it,” the governor said. “I can’t see why I should be forced to accept a subsidy on my soda — who knows what strings are attached and I don’t want to be beholden to Harris Teeter when I’m making shopping decisions down the road.”

The discount in question was a “$1 off” sticker that was affixed to a two-liter bottle of RC cola.

There is officially a new animal in the S.C. blogosphere, people … and a pretty funny one at that.

We look forward to reading more as the “Discust” seeks to become South Carolina’s own version of the popular “Onion.”

Furry munchy delicious!

Thanks for the props — just trying to keep it interesting around here.

For years, the job of ridiculing our state and the actions of its leaders has been handled by less-qualified workers from out-of-state. It’s time we changed that.
