Ai WeiWei: The Most Dangerous Man In China

Before today, I never knew who Ai WeiWei was. Apparently, he is a threat to the Chinese government. He’s a threat because he is an artist and activist. Ai WeiWei has been very outspoken about the Chinese government. He “declared that China’s government has no humanity — and that the Communist Party is trying to silence anyone who disagrees with it.” He is an interesting character, check out the video below featuring an interview from CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. It’s an eye opener.

Of course, with controversy come interesting T-Shirts. Here are a few Ai WeiWei T-Shirts that I found interesting.

For more information on Ai WeiWei, please visit Free Ai WeiWei. For more politically inspired T-Shirts, please visit BanT-Shirts.

And here’s naked Ai WeiWei just because.

You Say Commie Like It’s A Bad Thing.

Ban T-Shirts on the use of the word commie:

If you ever get called a “commie” then this T-shirt is for you. Of course most people who use the word “commie” have no idea what communism actually is, or anarchism, socialism, liberalism, libertarianism, or any other political theory: they just think that anyone who disagrees with their ideas is a “commie”. So getting called a commie is usually a sign that you’re doing something right.

Agreed.

You Say Commie Like It’s A Bad Thing is available now from Ban T-Shirts for $20.

Deep T-Shirts + More Peace

British designer, Adam Warner, designed the artwork for this T-Shirt titled More Peace. This politically infused T-Shirt features the very destructive hand grenade minus the explosives. Instead, you see flowers in place of the explosives. This simple, 2 colors print, is meant to bring about the idea of using the elements of war to spread the idea of peace. Brilliant.

The custom hangtags, neck tags and seam tags add a nice professional touch.

More Peace is printed on a heather gray American Apparel tee and is available now for purchase at Deep T-Shirt for $24.99.

Give A Fuck + Health Care Now

With our country in so much debt and the job market so bleak, people should care about what is going on around them. Both of these T-Shirts from Print Liberation screams to the world that you do care about America and do support the formation of a progressive health care system. The T-Shirts are available now from Print Liberation for $15 (I know, I was fooled into thinking that the tees were a buck as well).

I Think Therefore I Am Not…

When people ask me where they should go to for “political” tees I always point them to Ban T-Shirts because they always seem to deliver with their goods. This anti Glenn Beck T-Shirt is no different. The conservative political commentator and host of the FOX show bearing his name is known by his liberal counterparts for his provocative views. For many, provocative for Glenn Beck means speaking without thinking.

I Think Therefore I Am Not Glenn Beck is printed on a Heather Grey American Apparel tee and is available now for sale at Ban T-Shirts for $17.99.

Build Community

What do you do to help build community? Do you pick up trash when you see it on the sidewalk? Do you help organize events for neighborhood children? Whatever it is, and it can be big or small, it’s important that you help in some way. This shirt from Ban T-Shirts is perfect for those who are active in their community and hope to encourage others to do the same. If you know someone who is dedicated to their community then this is the shirt to get them. You can buy this tee from Ban T-Shirts for $18.50.
