Alone in the T-Shirt Zone on IMDB

Michael is a commercial artist working with fellow artist Greg in a t shirt factory making the artwork screen printed onto shirts. Michael feels unfulfilled in his job making joke t-shirts with slogans such as "Tennis Players Do It With Fuzzy Balls" emblazoned on them and a boss who tortures him by playing loud motivational recordings into his art studio.
One of the popular designs is a t-shirt with Foxy Lady written onto it at the beginning of the film we see a masked man attack a woman wearing the foxy lady t-shirt. As the film progresses we learn the significance of this and why Michael is currently in a psychiatric ward.
