These are not your ordinary shirts! Why? Research that shows written words on containers of water can influence the water's structure for better or worse depending on the Intent of the word. The human body is over 70% water. We believe that these positive, loving and powerful words will have a profound effect on your entire being when worn on your own personal "container" on a daily basis. Imagine the feelings of Love, Peace, Courage, Strength, Hope and more, that you'll experience with these wonderful words printed on the inside of your clothing.Where to begin?

Skymall Catalog's special "Rich and Stupid" edition.
Tired of just burning your money? Then you need a $79 sweatshirt. But not just any sweatshirt! This is a very special woo-imbued sweatshirt.

The hoodie is also hideous. Very stupid indeed.
Research shows that if you make passengers sit on the runway long enough, they'll buy just about anything just to amuse themselves.
So if I write positive words on my reaction flask, the structure of the molecules in my flask will change? Who are these researchers, and why have I been wasting all my time with synthetic organic chemistry when I could have just drawn the structure of my molecule and written some positive words on it instead?
I would have had so much more time for partying in grad school....
"Ultra Soft Intentional Hoodies" as opposed to accidental hoodies?
Of course the words make a difference, just like the label on a homeopathic "medicine" bottle makes a difference.
That enough to start with?
I think these shirts serve a very important function.
They provide a money sink for people with an excess of both money and credulity.
If they couldn't buy shit like this, they'd just be giving the cash to televangelists.
Comedy. Check it out:
Emoto, Masaru. 2004. The Hidden Messages in Water. Beyond Words Publishing; Hillsboro, OR.
It's published as though it's *real science*. Hee!
It's on my book shelf, but that's our little secret. They'd boot me out of grad school if I were caught with such rubbish, but I could.not.resist buying a copy.
A blatant form of thievery from the very gullible. A bit like lotteries: a tax on people who are bad at math.
I wear a XXL. By startling coincidence, my verification word is "andopig".
I'm going to bed now.
Except the comment didn't take, so my new word is wheroafs. I don't know where the oafs are, but one oaf is sitting on his couch with headphones on.
I really like this bit:
If everything is energy, and positive words contain a higher vibrational energy than negative words, then simply by wearing these shirts you'll be attracting positive energy into your life all day long
Evaluated as a conditional, I want to think this is entirely true. It's just a pity about that whole "false antecedent" thing turning it into a counterfactual...
Shall we reference Mencken or Barnum at this point?
bertha is right: "They provide a money sink for people with an excess of both money and credulity.
If they couldn't buy shit like this, they'd just be giving the cash to televangelists."
Think of it as a tax on stupidity. It will make you much more sanguine about their sales.
best post ever.
So if I write positive words on my reaction flask, the structure of the molecules in my flask will change?
Yes, but the problem is figuring out what words the Michael reaction, for instance, will find "positive." It could be "liver" or "twinkle," for example. Heck, it might not even be in English. It's a risk--you might write something on there to encourage your reaction and it could make your oxidizing agents go on strike...
A blatant form of thievery from the very gullible. A bit like lotteries: a tax on people who are bad at math.
Actually, it's just a tax on people who have very different utilities than you.
Please, people, if you're going to science snark, know that moments aren't the be-all and end-all of statistics.
We poor muggles. We just don't get it, do we?
I mean, 479 and all they could think of was printing the words INSIDE the shirt? Why waste ink? Just say that the words are written in the same color as the shirt...
Hmmm. Will it work if I write "rich from winning the lottery" on the inside of my shirt? I'm off to get a Sharpie and try it...
If you'd like to see even more of their woo [as opposed to the glimpse you get from the catalogue copy, see here:

Ah, yes -
Once again proof of that old saying,
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Some thoughts on said sweatshirt after going to the link and checking it out:
**fifteen different languages** So, what if I only know two languages? I assume if I only know two languages then the water in my body will only understand and respond to the two languages it understands. Shouldn't I get a discount because there are 13 languages that I can't use?
Of course, this sweatshirt now explains why all the little co-eds on campus wear shorts or sweatpants that have something written across their bottoms. Perhaps they hope to achieve their goals through assmosis...
(Honestly, even if you have a cute, petite bottom having words there is not flattering)
I would like to point you towards something that, as a knitter, you may embrace. I think the idea is pretty cool -- I think I'm going to try it with lace yarn for a shawl.

The spirit of P.T. Barnum still ives among us.
Now there is the Intention Yarns Spirit Stitching club, where you get to pay only $35.83 each (unknown quantity, enough for socks?) for special yarn in which words were written on the skeins with dye before winding (described at the loopyewe link in Aidan's post above). Quite an added value : )
As described at that link, "while knitting with these yarns, every so often, you come across a very small “spot” of the word, which serves as a mental reminder to refocus your attentions back on your wishes and prayers for the project".
Gosh, I figure i can write words on yarn myself and save the bonus cost. Or maybe just drip color around randomly and skip the words .....
