English is very popular. Let me rephrase that... English writing is very popular. It's on all shirts here. It does not matter what it says, as long as it's English. English music is very popular as well. No one knows what is being said, but popular nonetheless.
The other day I was in my local mom & pop grocery store, just to pick up some milk and things. The music playing in the store was that old 2 Live Crew song... "Heyyyy We Want Some Pussy." Wow. Did they have any clue? Is this music appropriate to shop by?
Another English teacher I met told me about a young kid she saw. The child was middle school aged, wearing an English t-shirt that said "I'm too drunk to fuck." Now, why would this be printed on a tiny little t-shirt for a child?
When you see these things it makes you stop and shake your head. It's the worst of English culture and it's all over the place. Aren't you proud?

yes...english/american culture...they import the best of the best, huh? and the shirt was probably made in china or thailand!
well, at least you didn't have that kid w/the shirt in your class...if you do get one like that, tell them what they're wearing ...they're highschoolers!
although, who knows, maybe they'd wear it everyday then........
