I'm not sure why so many people wear texts on their clothing and on their skin. Perhaps they feel that such portable writing serves to express their personalities. However, most of the time portable writing shows a trait that the wearer would (or should) not want to show, such as a vulgar comment. Sometimes people just throw on whatever is clean. Other times, the wearer believes the sarcastic comment is actually funny.
We need to think about what our clothing says about us. Why is the reaction different if the text is written on our body than if it is written in an essay? Both medias express ourselves, so why is it more accepted to say "I gave one too many F***S" (November 3, 2011) on a shirt?
