Lincolin: A real Leadeler
You can buy all kinds of tacky t-shirts on the side of the street or in the markets in Israel. For example, as American oleh comedy blogger Benji Lovitt points out:
“IDF: My Job is So Secret, I Don’t Even Know What I’m Doing!”
“Don’t Worry, America, Israel is Behind You”
“Super-Jew”
And of course, rock bands which reached their peak twenty years ago.
Lovitt has a bold plan to combat this sartorial foolishness. Today, he unveiled at his blog, What War Zone?, a new line of tacky Israel shirts.
My favorite of Lovitt’s new shirts:
That Lincolin shirt is darn funny, but it ain’t got nothing on mobius’s original line of Jewschool apparel.

I think some Ramah people were offended by the “Ramah girls are easy/and the bush was consumed.” But that was easily the most clever pun on the Conservative movement I’ve ever seen.

My favorite is “This puts the erva in Conservative.”

Okay, I don’t get it, and Google isn’t helping me. What’s a “leadeler”?

There’s a street in Jerusalem named after the 16th president of the United States, spelled with two lameds (corresponding to the two L’s in his name), and both lameds are pronounced.

You can still see some of the old Jewschool designs via the Wayback Machine.
My favorites were the “really not tznius” thongs and the “tznius hos show me yer elbows” t-shirts.
