T-Shirt Hell is an online website that sells provocative and/or funny t-shirts. Some examples of their T-shirt slogans are as follows:

"Bros before Hoes" (with picture of Obama and Hillary)
"I Support Single Moms" (with silhouette of stripper on pole)
A picture of the Pillsbury Doughboy in a Hitler uniform with the caption "White Flour" underneath.

There is also a "Baby Hell" section with equally offensive/funny shirts as the main page except that the shirts apply to infants. Another section sells gift wrap.

The site has approximately 100,000 unique visitors and over 500,000 page views each day, making it one of the most popular humor t-shirt websites on the internet.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Controversy

T-shirt Hell receives a large amount of hate mail due to the fact some users are offended by the T-shirts slogans . Some of this mail is replied to in an insulting/satirical manner in the monthly newsletter available on the official website. This newsletter also contains satirical accounts of current world events.

The owner of T-Shirt Hell, Sunshine Megatron (formerly, Aaron Landau Schwarz^[1]) was once purportedly poisoned by someone offended by his website. This poisoning scare resulted in the removal of the "Worse than Hell" section of the T-Shirt Hell website as this section contained the most controversial shirts. However, not long afterwards the section was put back up as Aaron Schwarz did not want to be victimized by people whom he thought should understand his shirts are supposed to be funny and not to be taken seriously. ^[2]^[3]

On January 29, 2007, T-Shirt Hell's most offensive shirts were removed once again.^{[citation needed]}
