Kuwaiti designer Tata Botata is back with a new tshirt design, this time it’s the Majed character from our childhood schoolbooks giving the middle finger. It’s priced at $69 but you can get 20% off by using the discount code ‘tatathanks’. [Link]

You would go to jail in the UAE for wearing that shirt?
I think you are referring to this story

Ruined it for me with the middle finger. This trend of portraying 69 and middle finger as cool, is sad and pathetic IMO. Maybe make a normal one? Having the option would be nice.
I Like the other shirts though! Keep it up 🙂
If he made a normal one what’s the point? The whole idea here is having a children’s related character doing something he wouldn’t usually do.
The same point of a shirt with a nostalgic/old character like an old school superhero or mario etc. Different point agreed, still might sell to people with a similar mindset of mine, by changing a tiny bit of the already done design.
That’s true, but tatabotata always tries to add a bit of a twist to his stuff.

I see, well am sure it’s working for some people.
I mean when I see FBK and Majed I can’t help but remember the cheap shirts (like the cheap ones you find everywhere in Thailand) with the swearing and F added to everything.
And based on his other shirts, I believe he/she can do better than that.
Just my modest opinion.
I won’t buy this because of the middle finger. Very pathetic.
not cool, public should be respected…
I wouldn’t want to walk around wearing that and giving everybody the finger.
You can get into fights if you wear this to a mall. This is not a shirt to wear in public. It would rock at ‘parties’ and gatherings.
Maybe the character should have held a sign with 010 instead 😛
I’m laughing – not at the graphic. at the price. and also at the fact that there WILL be ppl buying this at the price! It’s cheaper to just lift the graphic and make your own t-shirt.
Yeah it’s way too expensive
It’s way too expensive for anyone sane to consider buying it at that price! Gimme a break, no one’s going to want to part with that kind of money unless it is a Paul Smith or a Comme des garcons creation.
Is there perhaps a Majed el Saba connexion which might explain why the T shirt is so pricey?
Nothing is sacred anymore.
I wouldn’t buy this because of the middle finger. Very pathetic.
This Tshirt is pathetic.
anybody with even a little common sense wont buy it.
1. The price – are you kidding me? $69 for this T?
2. I’m not aware of this character.. but sure he looks like a kid. you wont to wear something in which a kid (the graphic suggests he is around 10) is showing the middle finger and promote something that is not right?
as if we dont have enough trouble with this generation of kids already!!!
utter nonsense.
why the middle finger? it looked interesting until I noticed it.
My bad! I misread it as KD.69.
You’ve got to hand it to them- there’s something borderline impish about it. We need to see more such creativity coming out of Kuwait not less of it. It’s important to not take yourself too seriously and to have a good laugh.
Like they say, take your work very seriously not yourself.
Laugh and let laugh!!
Still expensive even at $69 and the design sucks with or without the middle finger.
middle finger really ruined it
Same here. the rude gesture ruined it for me.
Not clever at all. You would never see such stuff back in the day.
Or maybe I’m getting old.
I like it. I am priced out and I wouldn’t wear it in Kuwait however but I find it well executed otherwise
Awful the middle finger ruined it not funny at all
