When The Shirt Hits The Fan

Wes-Johanna-Tshirts

Thought the stupidity of Real World: Austin was behind you? Think again. Lovebirds/drunkards Johanna and Wes have teamed up for the most auspicious business endeavor of the new year: a t-shirt company! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourself for “Wes and Johanna’s Inc,” your source for all things dumb and poseurish. The fledgling brand is selling t-shirts from a dumpy little site with amateur layout and tacky colors — sort of the half-assed effort you’d expect from such Austin wunderkinder. Their current sartorial crop features t-shirts that happily overestimate their relevance and fame, like the ever unsettling “Wes’ Groupie” (sic) and the corresponding, “Johanna Groupie.”

Luckily, you don’t have to be a groupie to enjoy the sweet nuggets of Wes and Johanna’s fashion genius. Residents of Peru and Kansas will surely relish the “Made In Kansas” and “Made in Peru” offerings, and if all else fails, there’s always the “I Say Hella” shirt. Because nothing says “cool” like sporting someone else’s inside joke.

I personally think the inventory is missing some glaring designs. You know, the standard “Idiot” and “Drunk Idiot” and “I’M SUCH A TOTAL IDIOT FOR EVER BUYING THIS FROM WES AND JOHANNA.” But for now, we can simply marvel that Wes and Johanna have done the impossible. They’ve actually made Veronica and Rachel seem capable. For shame.

    What?!?! That’s all of their offerings! ‘I Say Hella’ and ‘Made in Peru/Made in Kansas’. How fucking stupid.

    P.S Regrettably, looks like Wes is still alive from the ‘kangaroo attack’ during the challenge.

    “Real World Austin SUCKED” shirt. I’d buy it.

    i bet they bought a shitload of colored T-shirts and iron-on letters from the local craftstore and are actually spending their free time (you know, when they could be actually working and being productive)sitting and ironing lame, useless phrases that nobody cares about.
    hell, i guess we shouldn’t be complaining..at least they’re not working for wes’ daddy (i’m talking to you,danny), so wes can actually pay for a ring for joey and not have it donated to them (again, douchebag in the short-brimmed hat:i’m talking to you)

    hmm, wes looks like he lost some weight.

    yes that is the only positive thing i can think of as realtes to these two.

    and hey, lets be honest…everyone would look a lot better if we all lost 10 lbs.

    sheesh. who on earth told them this would be a good idea? why are we surprised at the choices the president of the united states makes if even two nobodies like this can get someone to blow smoke up their asses and tell them this is a well advised move?

    And just in case we weren’t totally convinced of their stupidity, the caption under the picture reads “…in a couple of in a couple of months.”

    Can you say can you say genius?

    Maybe I’d buy the shirts if Johanna and Wes were faux lesbians (see: Rachel and Veronica’s site). Or if Danny was “modeling” them. Shudder.

    And who thought it would be a good idea to cast Wes in the next challenge? Do they not realize he’s one of the least likeable cast members of ALL TIME?

    Talk about limiting your buying audience. Only people who are from Kansas or Peru or people who like Wes and Johanna would buy them. Judging by that photo up top – they already own them.

    What total and utter twits.

    Not only do I live in Kansas, but I went to the same high school as Wes and I would rather shoot myself in the face(or rewatch Real World Austin) than buy on of those shirts.

    Jash–

    Wes just looks like he lost weight because he shaved off his “Dumb and Dumber” haircut to sport the fauxhawk.

    I don’t know guys. $19.40 seems pretty reasonable to me.

    Wow…even Rachel and Veronica’s shirts are more creative than those.

    I would like to interview the first person who actually pays money for a Wes’ Groupie t-shirt, and maybe make a reality show about them.

    You know Santino was selling shirts on his site for 35.95, and I thought ‘Wow. That seems pretty expensive for a tshirt’, but I seriously contemplated buying one, but these two losers should be paying us to wear those, maybe they can donate the left overs to the homeless(I’m talking to you Johanna)

    Okay after visiting their site…that’s all they could come up with? My expectations were low, but really…that’s it?

    It’s so painfully obvious that Wes and Johanna are trying to do the Veronica and Rachel T shirt line thing. But there’s are actually pretty witty ( see collegedropout.com). But who’s gonna wear I shirt that says “I Say Hella” or “Wes Groupie”. I guess they figured if they put their heads together, they’d have a whole brain.
