Shirt.Woot

What Wallace Hartley and his fellow band members did, continuing to play as the ship went down, captured not only the minds of those who survived (and debated what song they last played) but everyone who has ever studied it or were fascinated by this event in history. Comparing it to 9/11 is both unfair and unnecessary, a maritime accident is much, much different than a terrorist act. If this were a cricket in a German U-Boat, would we still be debating it?

THIS.

I think the design is sadly beautiful I'll be curious to see what opinions I get when I actually wear it.

The image of the musicians going down the ship is a part of culture. It is iconic. Did you play ring around the rosie when you were kids? Do you know it's a song about the black plague? Massive tragic events often create pieces of cultural iconography. There is nothing wrong with that.

I find this shirt to be reverent, not insulting or making light of the tragedy (but then again, I love crickets and find their deaths tragic as well...)

I was actually thinking of Rome burning and Nero playing music.

So I ordered this with "overnight shipping" and I STILL don't have it. To be fair it said I'd have it by Tuesday, which is why I went with overnight, but you'd think I'd have it by now! Also no notification of shipping. Anyone else having the same issues? P.S. I don't think the shirt is in poor taste at all.

Next time, we'll need a physical address in order to ship overnight. Hope this clears up the confusion!

Would have been nice to know that so I could have provided a street address, how do I get my shirt?

Thanks, I appreciate it. Sorry if I sounded angry, the internet can sometimes be difficult to get expression across!
