The t-shirt reads "GENIUS OF LOVE." Um. Okay.
Here's another funny item for sale, spotted at one of the many yuppie stores that have invaded Elmwood in recent years (I suppose I should say super-yuppie, since Elmwood wasn't exactly gritty when I moved here).
Seen in the photo below: posh white-painted, fake wooden books to, er, leave lying around on your floor?
Whatever, fools. I have the real deal.

I think "kitsch" would do, really.
