About my design
by whirzle1   
If you don't know what "Ich bin ein berliner" has to do with John F. Kennedy, then do a Google search and learn something new today.

...and to avoid the barrage of comments, I know it's a myth.

Thanks. I hope you like the shirt.

I get the joke, and it is indeed funny, but the jelly looks like blood. Considering he was shot (albeit not in the center of the forehead)...I don't know, it just kind of gives me an icky feeling.

I agree with green-means-go. icky feeling.

Yeah. FACK. Horrible placement of the jelly. Too similar to a gunshot in the head.

I like the idea, but the jelly looks too much like Gorbachev's wine spot birthmark thing.

Haha, incredibly awesome

I definitely thought, judging by the the thumbnail, that this was a JFK-shot-in-the-head shirt. I don't know how else you'd do it though.

I love it when people complain about things like the "placement of the jelly." "Uh oh! The jelly looks like blood!" Hello? I'm sure the designer knows that and probably did it on purpose.

But what do I know? Maybe it was an accident.

I like that it actually looks like JFK

illustraTom, fuck off, eh? I wasn't complaining about the *placement* of the jelly. I was commenting that though I understand the humor, it doesn't work for me due to the immediate response I got of shot head. Threadless asks for criticism.....isn't that what we're here for? To comment as to why things do or do not work for us?

MORE jelly!!!
I´m getting more and more annoyed by all those uptight people commenting on stuff they find upsetting jelly, breasts ect.
Just rate it down, but spare us for the comments then one day I might draw you a pony in a flowered frame.

Love the shirt, I´m looking forward to the Reagan version “ I´m a hamburger”

Why do all these shirt designs look like wangs to me? Is there something wrong with my head? :C :C :C

wish the crappy type face you used was turned into choclate, so the choclate icing would say "ich bin ein berliner".... then I would consider buying it.

none-the-less, very wacky and interesting
Robsoul
   Robsoul on Oct 20 '05
maybe I should rephrase that, "incorporated into the chocolate."

maybe even a verbage bubble would have worked. right now that type needs to be burned at the stake.

looks more like a hot-dog??

bonedaddy on Oct 20 '05
Outstanding!
(to accomodate all these people with the shot in the head, why don't you make the jelly lemon or something - just move away from the red)

I see nothing wrong because it is damn funny!

A common urban legend falsely asserts that Kennedy made an embarrassing grammatical error by saying "Ich bin ein Berliner," referring to himself not as a citizen of Berlin, but as a common pastry.
nslesinger
nslesinger on Oct 21 '05
had to google it, but now i like. however, lose the jelly spot.

pre-heated-death on Oct 21 '05
If I saw a pastry that looked like that in a bakery.... I wouldn't buy it.

Wouldn't buy this, either, but I love the idea. Just... not a Kennedy fan.
erichews
erichews on Oct 21 '05
Yep, the placement and color were likely ON purpose, that IS why it's tasteless... unlike the VERY TASTY 'berliner' which happens to be ROUND like a typical jelly doughnut, not elongated like a phallic eclair. Details...

Clever, but wouldn't buy it because of the immediate reaction about the way he died. Just not something I'd wear and have associated with myself.

Everyone with the slightest knowledge of history should get this. The problem though is that the cake-thingy doesnt at all look like a berliner. If its supposed to be a berliner, then why didnt you draw a berliner? Gross shape on that thing and the text has nothing to do there. Sorry man. I dont like this at all, but i see that you have the drawing skills and the humor to make something good. So dont give up!

1,5 and no $

Gretch on Oct 25 '05
I love seeing german anywhere. but a Berliner isn't what is drawn. Its a round doghnut - not a cruller or jelly filled eclair. And good lord were you trying to make JFK ooze blood? Its way too "who shot JFK" eeee

See, so he's not too far off.
I like the idea, but agree with Robsoul on the type thing/chocolate thing...
and yes, the jelly does look a bit like head blood. But I don;t think you intended that.
