We've been seeing a lot of lame t-shirts lately. Luckily, we see them on the web and not on people (in which case, we'd be punchasizing a lot more faces). Unless you're blind (I'm sorry to hear you are blind, btw) you've probably seen the shirts of threadless.com et all. One of our favorites is noisebot.com. Clever t-shirts are okay once in a while, but wearing them everyday can get a little too, how do you say, Bruce Villanche. Steer clear of those pseudo-slutty Abercrombie ones that say "your shirt would look great on my floor" or "single and ready to mingle" or the encouragable "my boyfriend is out of town". Anyways, Noisebot has some sort of lame fascination with Vince Vaughn movies, and there are far too many shirts with Wedding Crashers, Old School, and Anchorman referrences. Personally, we would piss our pants to get our grubby hands on either a 'car ramrod' (a nod to the hilarious Super Troopers)
or the very clever Ghostbusters vs. Pac-Man.
Let's do this! Welcome to the VINCE VAUGHN ANCHORMAN SHIRT vs. VINCE VAUGHN OLD SCHOOL SHIRT battle. Today's guest judge is the man himself, Vince Vaughn's bloated mugshot. Thanks for joining us, Vince.

The 'Anchorman' "Dorothy Mantooth is a Saint" shirt (aka DMIAS):
The 'Old School' "Speaker City" shirt (aka SC):
1. "In-ness" of in-joke
DMIAS: Quite in. Vaughn's character, Wes Mantooth, is not a primary character in Anchorman. He just shows up and scowls. In one scene, someone makes a joke about Wes Mantooth's mother (I think it was Brick). Vaughn retorts "DOROTHY MANTOOTH IS A SAINT!" It's pretty funny, but its also a joke that gets shadowed by other, more clever lines like Paul Rudd's "It's called Sex Panther. 60% of the time, it works every time".
SC: Not in at all. Speaker City is mentioned every time there is a party, a scene with sound, a scene with Vaughn talking about work, a scene outside of the frat house. Speaker City is to Old School what SmartTech is to The 40-Year-Old Virgin; a fake Best Buy.
2. Quality of Design
DMIAS: Lame. So lame. We get it, she's a saint. Did we really need the cross hanging off 'saint'?
SC: Quite nice. It could pass for a real business. Now if only my red Lobster uniform looked so cool.
3. Ratio of Vince Vaughn coolness to movie coolness
DMIAS: High. Since Vaughn usually steals scenes like my neighbors steal bikes, it was nice to see him get a total screen time of 15 minutes.
SC: Low. Vaughn is not the funniest part of Old School. Andy Dick teaching the blowjob class is. And then Vaughn followed up Old School with Wedding Crashers, which made him seem like a turd (except when he's playing football at the lake house and he stomps his feet and goes "Red Seven, Red Seven, Red Sev-ehhnn!!" and Owen Wilson goes "I don't know what that means!"
4. Who you are going to attract: Cool Girls or Slutty Girls
DMIAS: Cool Girls. Anchorman is a bit of an underrated movie, so a cool girl will get the Dorothy Mantooth referrence, whereas a Slutty Girl will only recognize lame, over-quoted lines from Anchorman like "I'm kind of a big deal" or "I Love Lamp".
SC: Neither. Cool Girls will see you for what you are, a dumb frat. Slutty Girls will confuse your shirt with Radio Shack and think you work minimum-wage.
5. Colour
DMIAS: Green is a little too St.Patrick's Day. We would choose this shirt in a brown or tan.
SC: The red is hot. Any other colour would defeat the purpose of the Speaker City aesthetic. It would be like getting a vintage Rolling Stones shirt with a purple mouth. So, have fun with that, Prince.
Verdict (courtesy of Vince Vaughn's Bloated Mugshot)
"I, Vince Vaughn's Bloated Mugshot, in association with the Los Angeles County Parole Dept, declare that the Dorothy Mantooth is a Saint shirt is the winner. I would totally wear that shirt. And by "wear", I mean drink. And by "shirt", I mean a bottle of Jack Daniels. And by "that", I mean drive drunk to Vegas and hook-up with 3 strippers only to find that one of them gave me crabs that itch like a bitch."
