You Just Can't Buy Good Grammar Anymore

I had bought a green shirt at Sears this year. They had a few to choose from because St. Patrick's Day was the next upcoming holiday at the time. As much as I like it, it is grammatically incorrect:

Kiss me
im
Irish

The fact that the latter pronoun wasn't capitalized was not as bad as the fact that it was missing the apostrophe, so it didn't really say "I'm" Irish, it said "im" Irish. "Short" i, m. "im". It's not even a real word, it's just a syllable.
