The characters printed on the T-shirt mean: "Serve the people. －－－－Mao Ze Dong" It was handwriting of Chairman Mao.

Shepard Fairey sure loves communism, doesn’t he?
Of course, being also a man of principle, he lives simply and frugally, right? Takes no profit on his work? Returns to the workers and other comrades the fruits of his own ample abilities, to each according to their needs? Drives a Yugo? Or, hey, as principled as he is, rides a Vietnamese bicycle?
...didn’t think so...

Based on John Derbyshire's
comment, this appears to be a T-shirt being sold in Hong Kong. Chairman Moose Dung's visage is sacred in China. Schoolchildren are taught to think of this pedophilic philanderer as Grandpa. I suspect anyone parodying his image in China would be persecuted for blasphemy. (And yes, I mean "persecuted").

I agree with you that most of Fairey's work is offensive and reduces the value of our neighborhoods (you already know how). But, allow me to play "devil's advocate" for a moment. He also created this work about Aung San Suu Kyi:
which is also available here in hi-res:

Perhaps he is an undercover Capitalist? Or maybe just confused.

Perhaps he is an undercover Capitalist? Or maybe just confused. LOL! So perhaps 1 in 100 of his works isn't blatantly pro-communist or pro-dictator means he might actually be pro-capitalist, pro-freedom? I seriously doubt it. Besides, all lefties are badly confused in one way or another.

Perhaps he is an undercover Capitalist? Or maybe just confused. “I wanted to make an art piece of Barack Obama because I thought an iconic portrait of him could symbolize and amplify the importance of his mission. I believe Obama will guide this country to a future where everyone can thrive and I should support him vigorously for the sake of my two young daughters. I have made art opposing the Iraq war for several years, and making art of Obama, who opposed the war from the start, is like making art for peace. I know I have an audience of young art fans and I’m delighted if I can encourage them to see the merits of Barack Obama.”

Like I said originally: I agree with you. Just buy some of these, and use them. I like to think of it as "anti-culture jamming."
