The text in question is on a T-shirt my Mum got me when she was in Holland once, and she told me that the bloke who sold it to her said it's a bit rude (haha) - I even asked a Dutch person what it meant once, they told me but I've forgotten!
Here's the text:
'Ik spreik digitaal
...Zallik jah es de vigtuweile kankah schoppe'
I have pictures of the T-shirt if anybody needs it in context with the picture.
Cheers :)

Yes, it is very rude....
Ik spreik digitaal --> in proper Dutch: ik spreek digitaal --> I speak digital
Zallik jah es de vigtuweile kankah schoppe --> in proper Dutch: zal ik je eens de ??? kankah schoppe.
zallik jah/Zal ik je --> shall I do .... to you
Kankah/kanker --> cancer
schoppen --> to kick
So:
I speak digital + shall I beat you up (but in a very rude way)

Lotje (above) is right.
The only thing I can add is that the text is written in the The Hague dialect of the Dutch language.
The word "vigtuweile" and "Intâhnet" (below the drawing on the T-shirt) is the way The Hague people pronounce the English words "virtual" and "internet".

Try google translate. the text has a keyword:"Chlamydia", go see a doctor, she would like to see you again. I guess some things can be too hard to explain in another language. Good luck and good health.

I've just tried my usual website for this, freetranslation.com and I am getting absolutely nothing back for Dutch-English:
"I spreik digitally
...Zallik jah ash the vigtuweile kankah kick"
And that doesn't make any sense at all!!

I speak Digital is the first line (with some stretch of the spelling)
Zalig is Great (fantastic, wonderful)
schoppen - is 'to kick'
Is this the exact spelling? Is it - perhaps - friesian?

Go with Lotje. It is not very clear the second line so he is very much correct.
