Schon immer war ich ein Freund von T-Shirts, T-Shirts mit guten Sprüchen oder Motiven. Gerade in den USA gibt es einige gute Onlineshos wo man sich quasi jeden Unsinn in Textil erwerben kann.
Und gerade jetzt lese ich, dass einer von den guten Shops seine Pforten schließt. Und warum? Wegen hurmorloser Moralapostel! Die spinnen doch.
Nun ist Schluss bei www.tshirthell.com was ich wirklich sehr schade finde und der Betreiber der Seite äußerst sich in einem Statement auch sehr deutlich dazu:
“I’m done. I’m finished. I can’t take the stupidity anymore, so I’m leaving and I’m taking my website with me. As of Tuesday, Feb 10, 2009, T-Shirt Hell will be no more. [...]
I started this company in June of 2001, nearly 8 years ago, with the intention of producing the best satirical, the most controversial, the funniest t-shirts on the internet. Generally speaking, I feel I’ve accomplished that and am satisfied with what we’ve put out. I made a shitload of dough along the way. I’ve done cocaine off the better body parts of supermodels. I’ve even raped and killed a mountain panda in the hills of Shaanxi. But these perks are besides the point. [...]
Anyway, rather than cater to the masses, I’m just going to stop making shirts. It’s not enjoyable anymore and I have enough money to move on to something more rewarding. Maybe I’ll start my own hooker farm or maybe I’ll practice sleeping. Whatever I decide to do, it will be better than this. [...]
As a final farewell, I’m going to bring back some of the top selling Worse Than Hell shirts as a fuck you to those who forced me to remove them. To those who are offended by them and to those who think I’m racist, promoting rape, a nazi, homophobic or just the world’s biggest asshole…well, at least you think I’m something, which means I’ve achieved what I wanted. [...]“
Das gesamte Statement gibt es hier.
Tja, nun müsste man direkt noch mal bestellen. Und wenn ich bestellen müsste, dann wüsste ich auch genau welches T-Shirt zuerst.
