T-Shirt Hell is an online website that sells provocative t-shirts. Some examples of their T-shirt slogans are as follows:

"Your sister is hot, but your mom does that thing with her tongue."
"I Support Single Moms" (with silhouette of stripper on pole)
"I've had it up to here with midgets" (with line about waist high on the shirt)
A picture of the Pillsbury Doughboy in a Hitler uniform with the caption "White Flour" underneath.
"I bet you'll vote next time hippie" with a picture of George W. Bush
"Bush, Love Him or Hate Him, He's Killed a Ton of Arabs"
"Kill Yourself-All the Cool Kids Are Doing It!"

There is also a "Baby Hell" section with equally offensive shirts as the main page except that the shirts apply to infants. Another section sells gift wrap.

The site has approximately 95,000 unique visitors and over 450,000 page views each day which makes it the most popular humor t-shirt website on the internet.

[edit] Controversy

T-shirt Hell receives a large amount of hate mail due to its highly offensive T-shirts. Some of this mail is replied to in an insulting manner in the monthly newsletter available on the official website. This newsletter also contains satirical accounts of current world events.

The owner of T-Shirt Hell, Sunshine Megatron (formally, Aaron Schwarz - see http://www.givemeaname.com for details) was once purportedly poisoned by someone offended by his website. This poisoning scare resulted in the removal of the "Worse than Hell" section of the T-Shirt Hell website as this section contained the most controversial shirts. However, not long afterwards the section was put back up as Aaron Schwarz did not want to be victimised by people whom he thought should understand his shirts are supposed to be funny and not to be taken seriously.

On January 29, 2007, T-Shirt Hell's most offensive shirts were removed once again.
