I just had one of those with Kid Rock. I know...it's Kid Rock, but I could enjoy some of his less rap infused music where he tried to be a country singer or a classic rock singer.

Anyway, today, I see he's made this t-shirt:

I know this shirt is probably old, but I'm just now seeing it for the first time.

And nope. Not a fan anymore. It's not even that he's a Trump supporter. I try not to let political views skewer my enjoyment of an artist. But this t-shirt is B.o.B.'s Flat Earth Theory levels of stupidity. Calling part of our country Dumbfuckistan? GTFO of here. Looking at Kid Rock's website, he went all in with his Trump support merch I see...but this shirt still takes the cake.

Actual link to buy the shirt for the skeptical:

That shirt looks photoshopped.

Here's the original.

That shirt is a reversal of every use of 'dumbfuckistan' I've seen. I agree that it's stupid.

thank you for sharing this with us...

Yup.

Edit: So there was a thread on GAF about a creator of fake news mentioning it never catches on with the Left because it's always debunked, dismissed and forgotten in short order.

This thread is an amusing example of that.

Might be a photoshop of him wearing it in concert, but it's legit and sold on his website with two other Trump shirts and a Make America Badass Again hat.

Always amazes me that people can't see a cheap photoshop like this.

No one is more authentic

Servbot24 · Dec 5, 2016

OP backfire aside, this has never happened to me. Most of us still like Michael Jackson after all.

SpaceWolf · Dec 5, 2016

OP, dude, come on...

Pickman · Dec 5, 2016

I mean, on the one hand it's shopped so you don't have to stop listening, but on the other hand you have bad taste in music, so....

Edit: thanks for the source link, OP.

Don't dig too deeply into your idols of culture.

You'd hate to see who's a scientologist.

JoJoShabadoo · Dec 5, 2016

I've seen a few shops in my day, etc.

John Kowalski · Dec 5, 2016

OP it's right there in the pixels that it's fake

He knows his audience. Can't knock the hustle.

Username1198 · Dec 5, 2016

How eh hell can you guys tell it's photoshopped? Or am I just hella old or something?

Puck Beaverton · Dec 5, 2016

10/10 thread

Perfect on every level

Skux · Dec 5, 2016

The only more surprising thing here is learning that someone genuinely enjoys Kid Rock.

There is no one more authentic

Kaladin · Dec 5, 2016

The photo of him wearing it in concert may be photoshop, but it's legit for sale on his site.

Veritigo_X · Dec 5, 2016

I mean, yeah that's clearly a photoshop. But he is actually selling that shirt on his website as the OP clearly states.

Goldenroad · Dec 5, 2016

Obviously photoshopped, but still, using the word "artist" to describe Kid Rock seems like a real stretch.

bangbang i'm a timpani · Dec 5, 2016

apparently OP is very impressionable. also LOL @ just realizing that Kid Rock is conservative.

Xamtheking · Dec 5, 2016

Read the OP, guys
The picture might be photoshopped but the shirt is real and he is selling it

GamingOblivion · Dec 5, 2016

kid rock you moron

Piston Hyundai · Dec 5, 2016

so what was it about kid rock that made you a fan

Jakoo · Dec 5, 2016

This is...surprising?

OP, if you really like Ted Nugent, then I have some bad news for you.

That may be so, however that's no longer the subject of the thread.

ElectricBlanketFire · Dec 5, 2016

Thread backfire on a Photoshopped picture of Kid Rock which was the OP's tipping point in 2016.

Wasn't expecting that.

Who cares though, he's just catering to his audience who by and large are dumb fucks.

Why are you just learning his political leanings now. Just hold the L and move on.

Hella? Yep you're old

Biggest giveaway is the pasted on text, instead of being rumpled together with the shirt.

I try to ignore political leanings of artists till I can't anymore. He's reached that point with me and it will affect how I enjoy his music.

I enjoyed Lostprophets a lot before...well Google it :/

Ahhh I see thanks. That makes sense lol.

RecRoulette · Dec 5, 2016

I laughed at the OP, laughed even harder at the first post.

Hasn't happened to me yet though. I can usually separate the art from the artist so to speak.

That and no printed shirt ever looks that... sleek, I guess?

That's one dumb shirt.

Puck Beaverton · Dec 5, 2016

Kid Rock probably does think that, to be fair to OP

Kaladin · Dec 5, 2016

I think there's a possibility the shirt started as a fan photoshop and today Kid Rock posted that they were actually going to make them.

Edit: Looking at the comments, I see I'm not the only fan he's lost today.
