You know how we're always giving away
BustedTees as prizes? The reason we do that is because the same people who run this website also run BustedTees. Also, the same people who write the articles for this site think of the ideas for the T-Shirts. So when the suits over at BustedTees asked us to come up with a way to showcase the latest shirts on CollegeHumor we thought the best way to do that would be to show some of the ideas that didn't make the cut.
"Homar Slamson" Created By Jeff Rubin
This is a tricky one. For as long as The Simpsons has been on the air, there's been bootleg merchandise. Matt Groening actually collects it. We all thought it would be funny to do a bootleg of a bootleg.
Homer is one of the most recognizable and well known characters in the world. When I was in Europe, I saw fake Homer shirts in nearly every country I visited. Across the globe, he's as recognizable as Mickey Mouse (at least in the countries that matter, sorry Uganda). We wanted a shirt that looked like it was drawn by someone who had only heard about The Simpsons and never seen it. The idea that someone could possibly be ignorant of Homer, and is too lazy to look it up before printing a t-shirt, never stops being funny to me.
