From my observation here in the Philippines, all the shirts that don't sell in their intended market come here, as you said.

The t-shirt from the losing team of every US sporting event ends up here and they're nice shirts! But no one cares that they lost their title.

Also, guessing here, micro youtube start up t-shirts, political cause shirts that didn't sell in the US and trend types of t-shirts that shifted quickly and are no longer relevant.

Sometimes I ask someone that's wearing a strange or funny t-shirt, "that's a funny shirt, do you understand what that means?"

Most of the time it's some American slang(tm) that they do not understand. If they did, they wouldn't have bought it.

I assume the adults are wearing them too, The photographers take kids and editors pick out the ones with kids, for better shock value.
