Wow, can't believe all the battery bunny elitism!
I'm old enough to remember both set of commercials and how funny it was when the first EB commercial linked above came out comparing itself to the DB commercials.
Now we know that EB had a coconspirator. Is what we are seeing here really a confession of industrial sabotage?

The turtle is very cute, and I love the smug look he's got.
The problem here of course will be slack. This shirt may end up doing awesome in the International category, but most of Woots sales are US domestic. If you're not tight with the US domestic market, you're not going to sell as many shirts. Still it's a #1 Derby, so it should do nicely.

Just print it out on t-shirt transfer paper, iron it on the back of the shirt, and if anyone questions the batteries, simply reach over your shoulder and point to your back. 
(Might turn into a good conversation starter.)
May the Crap be with you all!!!
