Vintage T-Shirt Snuff Film Discovered

And you thought they were just a myth. Remember that really bad movie starring Nicholas Cage called 8mm? The one where he discovers an actual snuff film? That’s exactly how I felt watching the video below. Brace yourself folks. “There’s things you’re going to see that you can’t un-see. They get in your head and they stay there.”

    That’s a great idea! I have a box of baseball cards from the 30′s…do you think they could sew them into some cereal bowls??? I know they would only last a breakfast or two before falling apart, but it would totally be worth it!
    …maybe i could somehow, use their brains (since they’re obviously not using them) to laminate the bowls making them milk proof.
    Viva la Stupid!!!

    I did cringe watching this- however, all of those shirts were lame sweatshop crapola anyway. less of that rubbish in my local thrift would be most welcome- and the majority of that kind of shirt gets ragged anyway when donated or clogs up landfills.

    AND if more people ruin their vintage shirts, the lower the supply, the higher the demand for the real deal. so there’s that.

    cat greenleaf– i’d hit that.

    AND a sweatshirt backing? if there are any vintage Champions in there i would vomit.

    You can bet that many vintage tees have met their fate in this manner. We did a post months ago about a woman destroying 20 1980s concert tees for a quilt.

    Think of all the Honus Wagner cards in kid’s bike spokes back in the day.

    Maybe about 2 years ago, i had a lady email me from Hawaill that was interested in cheap, vintage sex pistols and other band shirts from the 80′s to make a quilt….and i thought the Filthy Lucre tour was blasphemy!

    I’m still waiting for some kind of medal of honor for the amount of restraint used in my return email…

    Worry not, we had her rubbed out before she could do any damage.

    this crime should be punishable by public humiliation. that young married couple should be forced to wear only brand new jonas brothers t shirts until they come to their senses and stop this carnage.

    I am definately sending them my fav Ts…..I want some Slayer curtains for my living room!

    But really I am not laughing on the inside!!

    I once met a sound guy who made a quilt out of all his 70′s concert tees. Some people just dont get it. I think I might start a similar company, send me all your vintage tees and Ill make them disappear.
