Take that all you silly shirts aimed at young girls and boys. Telling them studying is stupid. Partying is better. blah blah blah! I would not let my daughter wear a shirt that says something along the lines of instead of homework I’d rather be at the MALL. I am sure she would be. Well I secretly hope she will rather be saving the wetlands or fighting for human rights or heck even setting up a lemonade stand than the mall. Bu every good parent knows what a child wants is not necessarily what they need.
So thank you Justice brand clothing for this design. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! We need this message more often. We don’t need pretty girls acting in movies and pretending to be smart. We simply need to focus more attention on smarts and less on the drama of whoever flashed their underpants on the next hot reality show. It isn’t just about girls either, I see ignorance and stupidity marketed to boys as well. Violence is a more popular theme with boys and it is no better than promoting a girls just want to have fun mentality. Than there are the Girls rule Boys drool. UGH! I am sure most boys just roll their eyes, but I’d wager it makes some feel that maybe they are lame.
THIS HOODIE SPEAKS THE TRUTH. SMART IS BEAUTIFUL.
I have more suggestions:
KIND IS BEAUTY
COMPASSION IS HOT
TOLERANCE IS SEXY
ACCEPTANCE IS COOL

Love it!That is a wonderful message and a great point, SV. As a teenager I spent a lot of time at the mall, but at the same time had a mom who taught me to be very indpendent and be smart. It took long enough to sink in without tons of ‘partying is best’ messages. Thank you for sharing.

oooo I like this… what about “PERSISTENCE is EPIC” ….
I totally agree that the money making machines are sending all the wrong messages… it is rather ironic that the money making machines themselves never wasted their days at the mall probably 🙂
