It's actually kinda sickening. I'll go up ask kids, "Hey, who's Von Dutch?" not ONE kid has ever been able to tell me. I make every attempt to make them feel ignorant and uneducated and walk away. I'm a dick like that, you know? I mean, would kids wear a 'HITLER' shirt if Britnery Spears and Ashton what-ever was wearing one? Hell yes! Although I can see the compairison to Shag and Von Dutch as talented artists, I cannot see Shag as being the innovator that Von Dutch was. But, then again, who am I to say? I DO have a Shag t-shirt in my closet that I've never worn yet. (If I havent worn it in 4 years, I doubt if I will. I think I was hoping it would increase in value or something.) Just my 2 cents.
