Whiplash Competition #2

About three weeks ago, I bought my daughter, Norrie, a tee-shirt with a Pooh (TM) character on it. I didn't pay attention to the wording and was a bit amazed to see a character like Pooh (TM) stating something very un-Pooh like. The message on the shirt said "Bored with you".

Now, I've read the Winnie the Pooh books and I've seen many a Pooh cartoon and I've never heard Pooh say, "I'm bored with you." What a load of crass commericialism! The shirt was as bad as the others (I didn't buy) that stated "Spoiled Brat", "Spoiled Rotten", and other "diva" like sayings. Basically, a bunch of cheap sayings to pump up egos. Meaningless messages and cynical attitudes, is what I say.

As you can tell, it irks me to no end. So, I looked at the Pooh shirt and said, "this message must go." But how? That's when I thought of changing the words to mean something differently. I liked that I have the power to change commerical propaganda and make the tone different.

Here is my attempt to manipulate commercialism:



Stitched message : Not bored with you. Just sleepy.

I'd have had Norrie wear the shirt but it's nap time...ah, well.
