Don't know about the GP's article, but there are actually quite some YT videos around of someone interviewing people in Asia (I think the last one I saw was based in Japan), asking them if they know the meaning of the words on their shirts.

Some of these are hilarious..

While living away from my native California, I had a good laugh seeing someone with a "San Bernardino Beach" shirt.

I have multiple shirts that say Surf Ohio on them, I’d assume it was also a tongue in cheek thing like that.
