This humorous double sided tee states a simple but true fact. The shirt features a photograph of the King of Rock n Roll, Elvis Presley shaking hands with President Richard Nixon. This picture is then captioned, "We're Dead", and just to drive the point home, the back of the shirt reads, "Really Really Dead". This shirt is copyright 1994, which was the year that the 37th president, Richard Nixon, did in fact pass away of a stroke. Elvis meanwhile had died nearly two decades prior, in 1977.

The photo of these two American cultural personalities is humorous enough on its own. The stark contrast between Elvis' and Nixon's style and demeanor makes it look almost photoshopped, but the pair did meet in the winter of 1970. Elvis had specifically requested to meet with the President, in the hopes that he might do the musician a personal favor. Elvis was looking to get a badge from the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, an ironic treasure considering the King would later die of a suspected drug overdose. Elvis' autopsy report was actually reopened in 1994 to investigate these claims, and while coroners found evidence of serious substance abuse, they couldn't officially confirm that drug use had been the cause of the singer's fatal heart attack.
