The Love/Hate T-Shirt [Updated]

Update, Wednesday April 12, 2006, 14:33 EDT: We’ve got a source where you can order these shirts! See the end of the article for details.

Woman in t-shirt that reads 'Hate' stannding beside mirror, where the T-shirt's reflected image reads 'Love'.

[vis Russereous] Here’s a T-shirt for those of you who are fans of Gödel, Escher, Bach, devotees of Scott Kim or have enough mileage to know that love and hate are often two sides of the same coin.

Update: Where You Can Get This Shirt

Thanks to Neatorama for the tip — the shirt is a creation of Rachel Plefger and you can order it online! The shirts are available in men’s and women’s sizes and in red-on-black or black-on-red.

The funny thing is that to me, the model’s face in the mirror looks more friendly than the other one. Something about the mouth.

so fucking american …….WHERE CAN I BUY ONE!!!?!?!!11 OMGOMGOGM!! ……stupid posers

my friend got one of these t-shirts about three years ago from France. i’ve been looking for it for a while – glad i wasn’t dreaming it existed.

pretty neat- like good art, you can see it in many ways. aside from the previously mentioned idea that love/hate are same sides of one coin, if you think about it, its saying everyone gets hate except yourself, kind of like how the world currently works and why we’re all f*cked by war, racism, etc. (in general).on the other hand it could be a type of meditation, if you take it as reminding yourself to transform your hate to love. i guess it wouldn’t work if it was the other way around, you certainly wouldn’t want to look at yourself and see hate. either way, definitely interesting for a tshirt- makes you think.

1. The ambigrams were in Angels and Demons

2. Dan Brown didn’t make them

3. Ambigrams are symmetrical and read the same when rotated (or rather, half of it reads the other half when rotated). This is mirrored, not rotated

So fucking american, you say? You’re a pompous prick. And you dont even have the balls to sign your name to your ignorant comment.

i love how some of these guys want to put down Americans, but have to do it anonymously…. Big mouth and no spine to back it up. what a coward.

Someone may have already set you straight on this but, in case they have not:

Ambigram n., – a word or words that can be read in more than one way or from more than a single vantage point.

“Reflected” is included as a different vantage point, but don’t take my word for it:

Does anyone know how to translate from French to English so I CAN order the t-shirt?

Isn’t Men’s European medium equal to Men’s Small USA?

Anyone? anyone? anyone?

Hey amoeba. Imitation is the greatest form of flatery. Do you where any team jersey or colors of a sports team…poser!

I don’t know if wanting to buy the t-shirt is an american thing.

What do you want to do, assault them for what they said? and now since it was anonymous you are even more upset and call them a coward….THAT is very american.

I ordered this shirt from Tagville over 4 weeks ago and it still hasn’t arrived even though I was told it would only take 1-2 weeks. Now the customer service department wont reply to any of my e-mail requests and there isn’t a customer service number to contact them. Ahhhh!!!! RIP OFF!!
