I meant to buy him (son) ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61bIVIBuPuL._UX522_.jpg which is fairly funny and quite harmless.

Just looked at the one that arrived and it is this one Which is really rude! I can't give that to anyone can I, leave alone my son?! tchblush

Oh, fiddle!!! tchhmm

Just to say that I have bought a three or four of those Ladybird books (cheaper on Amazon than Waterstones, although I had already bought a couple in Waterstones) for family!!

Some of those 'Ape to ********' are very good

From this version, jings, which is the one I saw first (or one v like it).

I probably wouldn't have paid that if it wasn't for Xmas. Dsil was a little (!) under the weather last weekend after company Xmas bash so it sort of spurred me on!

I've seen the 'The Wife' one but I thought £5.00 was a bit much for a few pages...hmm

I've just bought my son in law the Ladybird Book of The Hangover!! They have a no 99 series which is for adults - 50's style drawings and modern interpretation/text. Very funny.

sound of
stupid iphone

grannylyn65 Wed 23-Dec-15 20:17:51

Like the soundbof that one jingstchgrin

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 23-Dec-15 17:59:49

There is another one I like, where the 'today' man has finished up hunched over again, but now he's hunched over a computer. tchgrin

I've always thought that all of the different images were human, just at different stages of evolution.

Where does fucking everything up come into it?

Actually, on thinking about it there could be an argument that human beings are having a detrimental effect on the planet, more so than animals anyway, what with pollution, wars, chemicals and so on.

I don't think that is what the teeshirt is about though.

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 23-Dec-15 17:33:29

What "anti-western sentiment?" Totally confused

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 23-Dec-15 17:31:37

Oh phew! It was just the rude finger that was worrying me. I will give it to him.

Bags why do you think something has been fucked up? I don't understand. The 'present day' man is just fed up with being followed - on the evolution logo. tchconfused

Grannynise Wed 23-Dec-15 17:25:31

It made me smile! I'd have no qualms about giving it to my son-out-law.

Coolgran65 Wed 23-Dec-15 17:03:08

I know the original evolution T shirt....
Oh dear.... I must be naive. I don't get it .....

thatbags Wed 23-Dec-15 16:56:20

It's stupid imo because human beings (also imo) have not fucked everything up.

I see the joke too, but I'm tired of that joke.

NanaandGrampy Wed 23-Dec-15 16:40:30

It's just a t shirt ! I think it's quite funny ( and my first degree is science based lol) .

I'd give it to him and I bet he'll love telling people it's what his mum bought him :-)

Ana Wed 23-Dec-15 16:12:36

Bet you've never been called one of those before, jingl! tchgrin

petallus Wed 23-Dec-15 16:11:00

It's a witty (ish) take on the original well known image.

Not sure why some think it's stupid, ridiculing etc.

Teetime Wed 23-Dec-15 15:58:55

I thought it was funny and your son will think you're a racy old bird and enjoy the joke - that's all it is - a joke.

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 23-Dec-15 15:26:17

You have seen the original image before? Surely?!

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 23-Dec-15 15:25:08

tchconfused It's neither. It's just a rather clever joke on a t shirt. hmm

crun Wed 23-Dec-15 14:55:27

Is it ridiculing evolution, or poking fun at the man for not liking the idea that he's an ape?

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 23-Dec-15 14:22:14

tchshock tchgrin

Bags (aka Grumpydrawers) I really really love you! tchsmile
