    Dramatic Cafepress CDH Shirt Idea - need opinions please

    Hi Everyone,

    I had an idea this weekend and I want to run it past everyone. It's a little graphic, very dramatic and a bit gorey but it would raise CDH Awareness drastically...

    Shirts with CDH diagrams on them. You know how at Halloween you see people wearing black shirts with cartoonish x-rays so it looks like they are skeletons? What if we did shirts that did a simple, cartoonish diagram of CDH on them and the words "Ask Me Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia" on them. Cartoonish so it wouldn't be too gorey. We would all be walking billboard diagrams of what CDH is. Kind of like this:



    But the lungs would be where are lungs are under the shirt, stomach, etc - except showing CDH. Anatomy lesson on a shirt.

    No, not shirts you could wear all the time but great tools to explain what CDH is!!!

    What do you all think?

    Alirght, that just creeped me out LOL but I would definately wear one, makes describing CDH alot easier if you can show what you mean, most times I get a "uh huh...." and a nod from people then I draw them a picture and they get it!

    Personally, I wouldn't wear it. I am very conservative though (a wanna be rebel who just doesn't have it in her nature). Good idea though for those that would.

    I have never seen or heard of Slim Goodbody (must not have made it to oz) but that is freaky! lol
