Not even Diana Prince has the strength to fix the visual hierarchy on this T-shirt.
A Wonder Woman-themed tee with a baffling slogan is giving internet users a headache and expectedly keeping designers on edge.
Believe it or not, the actual name of the design is, “I’m not i’m just nobody wonder woman in the same saying i’m saying has ever seen room together,” because not even its retailer knows how it’s supposed to read.
“I am begging you all to just pay graphic designers,” remarked designer @LouisatheLast on Twitter.
“To read this, you basically have to engage in REM sleep,” one Twitter user responded.
Here it is:

To save everyone’s brain cells, someone did the work and strung the words into something more comprehensible:

“I’m not saying I’m Wonder Woman, I’m just saying nobody has ever seen me and Wonder Woman in the same room together.”
If you’ve ever wondered why designing is a “real job,” this is why.

Literally every first attempt at finding the next word to read on this shirt was wrong.

This mess just killed valuable brain cells I actually needed.
Ye gods, WHY did I try reading it?
ID: T-shirt. Text is aligned with all the natural grace of a tapdancing penguin on speed. A loose Wonder Womanish sketch divides text that wants to read like: "I'M NOT. WONDER WOMAN. SAYING. I'M JUST. NO. BO. DY. ME AND. HAS. EVER. SEEN. WONDER WOMAN IN THE SAME. ROOM. TOGETHER."
