As the “God-Bothering Juggernaut Taxpayer Funded Festival of Childish Superstition” approaches, more piss-taking gems have been submitted. The “cross yourself” entry comes from Mr A. Nonymous, and the “Touching” design comes courtesy of Monsigneur Gareth of Newcastle. Can’t you just feel the love? Keep ‘em coming!

GOATBOY DOESN’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT ART, BUT I KNOW WHAT I LIKE. THIS MAN IS A GOATGOD.

Gemma Lin has Brains - not just because she lives in Bondi, but because she owns & runs Li Zai Restaurant on 80 Campbell Pde (above Mambo). Their Asian Tapas food is as spectacular as the incredible view, and Gemma and her girls will really look after you. Call 02 9130 5166 to book.

This bloody funny idea comes from a mate who has requested anonymity .

I’m not quite sure what he’s afraid of - a t shirt design, or letting your 9 year old son near a Catholic Priest.

(US$ 2 Billion paid in “shut-the-fuck-up money” to victims of priest child sex abuse suggests that there’s somewhat of an endemic paedophile problem in the Catholic Church in America. I wonder how much they’ve had to pay out in Australia? Exactly how much George?)

Well there’s definitely some major talent out there. This World Youth Day T-Shirt design reached us via Deborah Kelly - who is a contemporary artist of some note. You can see her art at www.bewareofthegod.com Goatboy commends you Deborah!

I guess Goatboy should have seen this one coming. Creative credits go to “Trent” (he of the singular name) who has successfully taken the piss out of Goatboy’s own Diana design. Our lawyers will be in touch soon Trent! (those we haven’t already killed…)

It’s a pretty funny thing really.

The Pope is coming to Australia soon to officiate at a gathering called “World Youth Day”, which is a pretty ironic name, after The Catholic Church just paid out $US 2 BILLION to settle child sex abuse cases against it’s endemic level of paedophile priests.

And to think some people get offended by our T-shirt designs?

Anyway, the trick to all you budding designers out there is to try to keep your designs funny - which is rather difficult - seeing as though the NSW & Federal Government are funding the whole shebang (or should that be ‘he-bang’) to the tune of 160 million taxpayer dollars.

But back to our competition - it’s easy to do an abusive & offensive T-Shirt - Paddy’s Market is full of “vomit, shit, fart & fuck” designs. What we’re after here is something much funnier, something witty, something to make light of the obscene amount of taxpayer funds and general disruption this bizarre festival of God Botherers is about to wreak on our lovely city.

We might as well have a laugh, because hey - we’re paying for it!

Goatboy is inviting all of you to engage in the traditional Australian pastime of taking the piss - so go hard, be harsh, but most importantly, be FUNNY.

The design above is ours, because we had to start somewhere. We strongly encourage you to beat it - just like an Opus Dei self-flagellation session.

So lock up your sons, crack the whip & send your funny ideas to contact@goatboy.com.au (We won’t be posting any of the nasty negative abusive or unfunny ones)

The best idea (as judged by Goatboy) will get produced & be available for sale. (The winner will get $200 cash, infamy, eternal damnation and 3 Goatboy T-Shirts of their choice)

Please try to remember that in the absence of separation between Church & State, irony will set you free

Here at GoatWorld Central, we often get ideas for T-Shirt designs suggested to us.

Some are great, and some suck. Some are really funny, and some are too tasteless even for us to post.

(We know it may seem hard to believe, but there are some lines we won’t cross. Yet. But please keep sending in the Bindi Irwin ones though!)

Anyway, one anonymous Goatboy fan had this little gem about the upcoming Beijing Olympics.

If enough of you wonderful people out there let us know that you love this design, we may consider doing a LIMITED EDITION print run, with a percentage of sales revenue going towards an organization that’s helping to free Tibet. So please spread the word!

Goatboy commends our anonymous satirist, and would like to encourage all budding designers out there to partake in the Great Australian Art of Taking the Piss.

COMING UP SOON! GOATBOY’S FIRST EVER OPEN T-SHIRT DESIGN COMPETITION…

FOR “WORLD YOUTH DAY”. STAY TUNED
