You can make anything* vanish if it's under the 24 hour time frame. Just like he did.




*within the confines of the derby submissions themselves. I can't say the same for designers or poor entries that remain and are not rejected.

Re: ATLien National Park

This is fantastic and bizarre.

Re: DEATH NATIONAL PARK

Thanks Jaden. I would def pick this shirt up if it won...

I also live near Mammoth Cave and would LOVE one of these shirts! Anyone else ever take the ALL-DAY tour? They serve you LUNCH down there! It's GREAT!

since cats were domesticated by egyptians cause they could kill the mice and snakes, i hope adders are not common to northern africa! of course if i'm a cute ramby cat, i may in trouble anyway, esp since i'll probably have poor eyesight...

If you were a ramy cat you'd have one blank expression and you wouldn't be able to walk because of your grossly distorted anatomy and stumpy, pawless legs.

Re: Campfire Tales

great shirt, would love to buy one!!!

Guess you didn't read that.

"Parkway does not a National Park make." Wow, learn to write before you type anything that makes you look dumb as a box of rocks.

"Blue Moon Parkway"
Blue Ridge Parkway
"Blue Moon Parkway"
Blue Ridge Parkway
Are you getting it?

The Blue Ridge Parkway is partly located within the Pisgah National Forest. So "Blue Moon Parkway" is a play on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Hope I spelled it out for you good enough.

Re: the other side of the mountain

I just think this would be a hysterical shirt to have. No National Park names, so I ought to be safe, right?
If you've every gone off the beaten path, taken a walk on the wild side, wondered what the bear saw when he went over the mountain, then this shirt is for you. Or, if you've just had your butt kicked one too many times, cast a vote this way!

Re: Mt. Robot National Park

What exactly makes some shirts not copyrighted and others copyrighted? Is it the characters or what?

I mean, I'd imagine Dr. Who and Back to the Future are copyrighted, as well as TMNT, Super Mario, Yogi Bear, and a handful of other stuff that's been printed on woot shirts.

Re: Giant Sequoia

great illustration, I like!

Re: Campfire Tales

If the shirt isn't animated, I'm not buying. FALSE ADVERTISING!

Seriously though... it's like a mind trick to make you look at this submission, because you think you see something move and you're not sure so you focus on the design more than others.

Very clever.

Re: X-treme National Park

How is this not in the Fog!???! This shirt is Amazing!

Josephus wrote:Well, as I told Woot on submission, the name of the mountain is Rushmore, a name much older than the national memorial, which is Mount Rushmore National Memorial. My shirt only says "Rushmore". If they decide that is close enough, I can't stop them from rejecting it, but I think my design is in line with what they intended.

I think you might be able to get this a Honorable Mention if you resub with out Rushmore

yeah, I've remade it, prolly resub it this afternoon. Digmore instead of Rushmore. ;^)

Re: Unsung Heros

I doubt we know anyone else who works as hard.

Re: sleep, eat, hike, enjoy

It's a lot like "Wheels on the Bus..."

Re: X-treme National Park

A definite buy for me if it prints. Awesome! It's so effin X-Treme! I think I need a Mtn Dew!!

We were just there! Wish they had this in the gift shop.

This has been done. I have a shirt with the back side of Rushmore on it (haha, even same color shirt). While this IS an original design, it is definitely not an original idea. Sorry to break it to you.

Beautiful design, great work! GMV

How is this not doing better? so clever and well drawn. GMV

Josephus wrote:I have to agree with you. I was certainly wrong about it- I shamefacedly concede the point and will add an edit to my comment in a minute. I must confess that I didn't look anything up- I read a story long ago about the importation of sequoias to London, and the difficulty they had in keeping them alive at first- I think they ended up building charcoal ovens that they buried underground below the trees so that they could keep the ground warm enough in the winter. This would have been at that big Conservatory- must have been while Queen Victoria was alive. It might have even been fiction, now that I think about it.

There are also three types of Sequoias... I hadn't heard of sequioa gigantis growing well anywhere else!

Josephus wrote:well, not entirely:



The accompanying article describes very successful plantings in Italy, and, indeed, most of western and southern Europe, including much of Great Britain as well as this planting in Scotland.

Excellent research! Having spent most of my life on the north coast and mountains of California, I'm partial... and happy to see that others have been able to meet the requirements of the tree to grow them elsewhere.

XD I'm not trying to be a smartass, I just think it's funny to think that all physicists are psychic. Comes with the territory.

Re: Oh Deer!

hell yes

Re: Floating Rock National Park

Haha, I love it. I don't think I would want to visit though..

Re: Mount Bubbmore

they's for decoration

no li'l sis?

Re: What I Say!?

this COULD be totally sweet but is lacking that extra 'something'... cigarettes and matches not really clear enough, i had to stare way too long at it to get it.

maybe if the perspective was more from the side and not so front-on (is that an expression??) it would work. plus the rabbit should look like a grungy smoking bad kid. sort of.

Like the design, just not the color of the shirt!

On Woot's part, it's a judgement call as to whether the item in question has enough parody that the copyright owners won't come calling. It might also be about how likely certain copyright owners are to sue over more trivial things. If one of them is known to be more aggressive in protecting the copyright, then it's wise to back off from annoying them. You don't have to lose a lawsuit for it to be expensive, so even if you're right about it being parody and you win the case, you've still lost a lot. I doubt the sales of a single tee shirt would cover much of a lawsuit.

We looked diligently while there this summer to find a shirt like this and couldn't. Maybe there are shirts somewhat similar, I never saw one. I don't think mine is as similar to anything out there as more than a few previously printed woot designs are to other previously printed designs (cough, Aarghyle, cough, cough, paroxysm of coughing over the others).
