xps I don't either and DJP otm! I love it! I was just curious if people would get really aggro about, like, the idea of a hispanic person not having a job or having a shitty job or something.

He's a stud and Alejandra is adorable. If there is legitimate reason to be concerned about racism, I'm blinded to it by the cuteness of it all.

I found the "what were you doing a month ago?"/"not working"/"what are you doing now?"/"working" really funny b/c Alejandra looks like she's about to laugh. And they're riding around in a wheelbarrow (iirc).
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Thursday, 8 March 2012 18:29 (twelve years ago) link
she would probably get really tired if she had to work ten thousand jobs

can we get a "cool stuff about arabic that I know" thread from the people who know stuff about arabic because that is really interesting and cool to me

ex gf was learning Arabic and it was really interesting to hear about; languages in general are fascinating to me, esp since I failed so hard to achieve my dream of being bilingual by the time I graduated college
now I just have a bi roommate

I am guessing she actually works there because she does not seem like someone who was cast for some role, she seems like someone who was told 5 minutes before it was happening that she was gonna be on camera

The first time I saw the "not working"/"working" scene I thought Alejandra was providing a rickshaw ride, which was odd.

i was just riffing on this:
i don't speak arabic, i speak farsi, but from what i know about words from the quran it's probably not exactly the same as our "glory"in farsi subhaneh means "breakfast"― the late great, Thursday, March 8, 2012 7:55 AM (1 hour ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

yeah but v4hid's post made me wonder if it was supposed to be a breakfast shirt! is farsi script identical to arabic script or just similar?
― horseshoe, Thursday, 8 March 2012 19:01 (twelve years ago) link

urdu script is recognizably related to arabic script but also recognizably not identical. the internet is telling me there is more than one form for farsi script? but at least one of those looks identical to arabic script to me. so the meaning of the word on the hoodie could be breakfast?
― horseshoe, Thursday, 8 March 2012 19:07 (twelve years ago) link
Wd wear
― drawn to them like a moth toward a spanakopita (Laurel), Thursday, 8 March 2012 19:07 (twelve years ago) link
but v4hid identifed it as an arabic word and he reads farsi, so maybe it's def not farsi.

i don't think the shirt is racist but i am confused. does the company market shirts in the west?
― horseshoe, Thursday, 8 March 2012 19:09 (twelve years ago) link
what happened, etc.
Not that i speak Arabic, but it's definitely 'subhan' as in 'subhan allah'.
Is it meant to convey the idea that, like the word, other things are meaningless without god? Is it a comment on censorship? Is it suggestive of a void at the heart of the human experience? Is it just something that someone saw written down somewhere and thought it looked cool?
― Mohombi Khush Hua (ShariVari), Thursday, 8 March 2012 19:12 (twelve years ago) link
xps, it's Supreme - a NY streetwear brand.
i know, right? i need to know!

― horseshoe, Thursday, 8 March 2012 19:13 (twelve years ago) link
arabic is a beautiful language, so maybe it is just that someone thought it looked cool, but that kind of thing drives me insane. meaning! meaning is important!
― horseshoe, Thursday, 8 March 2012 19:14 (twelve years ago) link
Okay but I would still wear a shirt that said "breakfast."
― drawn to them like a moth toward a spanakopita (Laurel), Thursday, 8 March 2012 19:14 (twelve years ago) link
afaik, Supreme works with quite a few visual artists so there's a good chance there was some kind of meaning behind it.
― Mohombi Khush Hua (ShariVari), Thursday, 8 March 2012 19:15 (twelve years ago) link
i need like museum curator notes on that shirt

ty ShariVari, btw
walking around all yeah that's right breakfast when in fact it says "asshole"
― (he did what!) (Austerity Ponies), Thursday, 8 March 2012 19:21 (twelve years ago) link
is that arabic word "subhan" meaning "glory"?

and the camel shorts were supreme, just wondering if this may be an attempt to translate the brand name? their logo is also white text on red too, so
