I went to Answers.com and found out what
" Lorem Ipsum " is. Its meaning doesn't add or subtract from your design. I think people will look at the shirt and get distracted by trying to figure out what " Lorem Ipsum " is - instead of realizing it's latin and that a pig is saying it --- thus, Latin speaking pig = Pig Latin! I can't think of any latin that would keep people from getting distracted by their attempts to translate it. -- Sorry. |

lorem ipsum text roxx0rs. it comes in handy for us page designers.
but yeah, the whole pig latin concept is funny but not really catching. but since when was every shirt printed by threadless readily understandable to anyone who saw it?... |
 |
latin pigs in my chest... sure why not ?
kiddin' |
 |
If it said Carpe Diem(sp?) or some other latin that everyone knows it would work better.
|
 |
Anyone who's ever worked in design or even web development would know about "Lorem Ipsum". It's not what it means, it's the context and history. Kind of an in-joke if you want to see it that way.
|
|
Matildaben is right on... it's about the "context and history" of the words, not the exact translation. So I think the actual concept remains pretty clear. Anyway, thanks for voting.

Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit . . .
("There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain . . ."). Lovely. I'll rate five and take two. Let's hear it for inside jokes! ~VamPirate~ |
 |
If it were my design, I'd have the pig saying, "Res ipsa loquitur" ("The thing speaks for itself"). Very cute, I'd wear one.
|
 |
WHATS IT MEAN
|
|
i love it. cute play on words.. i would totally wear it
|
|
LOOK IT UP IDIOT
|
 |
Solvac you have... stercorem pro cerebro habes
|
|
bay_ridah, i agree.
a friend of mine tooka a screen printing class, just so she could make a shirt with that 0n it. |
|
most clever! please let the votes pour in, i need this to impress my designer friends!
|
 |
My Latin teach er would love it. I'd buy it just for her. $5
|
|
I like it! Maybe you should make the pig say "Veni, Vidi, Vici" (I came, I saw, I conquered). A conquering pig would make ME laugh at least.
|
|
Awesome $5.
|
|
ahhh no veni vidi vici...cliche cliche.
and holy crap to whomever quoted the aeneid. i freaking hated that godforsaken poem. glad i didn't take the AP exam. but i like this shirt. |
|
love the idea, not so crazy about the execution. i can't quite tell why, i guess it seems too... cartoony..? i actually love the drawing, it just doesn't seem to fit with what it is? maybe it's just personal taste.
|
|
i sat here going..."thats not pig latin"
|
|
blinkmetoys lol, i did that aswell, i reckon its nice, but i wouldnt wear it.
|
 |
This is quite cute, but I agree with many of the above posts. If the phrase fit the image more, it would be funnier. 4 as it stands, 5$ if the phrase is changed.
Too bad Latin for a pig grunt is so obvious ("grunnitus") |
|
blinkmetoys, i'm glad that i'm not the only one who did that.
i like it but i don't know if it'd wear it. 4 anyways. |
 |
love the pig lose the words
|
|
I don't speak latin and I'm not a web designer. I don't see why the majority of people shouldn't be able to tell that "Lorem ipsum" is latin, so 5.
|
 |
two different jokes trying to be one.
nice attempt, decent design, clever thought. unfortunately, in the end i just don't think it works. if the design itself was a bit stronger so that it didn't totally rely on the inside joke, i think it'd be a winner. |
 |
yeam isnt pig latin adding putting the first letter at the end and adding -ay? I guess Im just not getting the joke.
|
|
If I wrote a phrase in "pig latin" and put it on the shirt, that would not be a creative or fun, it would just be a few words in "pig latin". The point was to create a visual play on the words...the visual being a pig speaking latin...therefore pig latin. Thanks for voting.
|
|
try using a more recognizable latin phrase. >4
|
|
Keyactr I think the SMART people get it... you recognized it's latin didn't you so what's the problem? It's a pig speaking latin... enough said. You hippie bastards are putting way to much thougt into an idea you wish you had.
|
|
I really wanted to make a Lorem Ipsum design for Threadless, but I can see now that the joke would obviously be lost in the audience. Good job, though.. it's cute, and made better by the fact that so many people are deliberating about it.
|
 |
I like this pig even though I do not know what he saids...
|
|
blinkmetoys, me too. Cute shirt.
|
|
Use "Carpe diem" instead of Lorem Ipsum. Although, once I knew what lorem ipsum meant, it added a different layer to your shirt design.
5, no $ |
|
You freaks are missing the whole point of the shirt.... it's a Pig speaking Latin... if he was speaking PigLatin it wouldn't be as strong of a piece.

I feel so happy for using Lorem Ipsum right now. (It truly is a lifesaver. I used to type nonsensical sentences myself but now it does it for me!) I really hope this shirt would get printed, but I think it went over too many people's heads. The "pig speaking latin" therefore - "pig latin" should've been gotten by most people, but the Lorem Ipsum part got them confused because they expected something at their level in the latin part...
Oh well. :D I <3 the shirt anyway! $5! |
