Why Does Cory Doctorow Hate Freedom?
Dear Woot traitors -
How dare you, sirs? This citizen is
utterly digusted that your business would push a treasonous product
like today’s shirt. As soon as I figure out what it means, I’ll be even
more outraged. Are you aware that this seditious garment was designed
by infamous subversive Cory Doctorow (a Canadian, no less)? I
would expect more responsibility and integrity from the company that
made its reputation with the Bag O’ Crap. If people are allowed to say
whatever they want, then the terrorists have already won. Don’t you
wingbats get it? Don’t you realize that only blind panic can make us
truly secure? In the future, I will spend my t-shirt money with a 100%
American company – in other words, one whose opinions never differ from
my own. So nyaah, nyaah, nyaah!
Red, white, and appalled -

This shirt was designed by: the one, the only Cory Doctorow. He blogs at Boing Boing, where the text on this design originally appeared. His longer-form writing appears at Craphound,
including the full texts of all three of his novels and most of the
short stories from his two published collections. He’s done all kinds
of other worthwhile stuff in the name of intellectual freedom, like
releasing most of his works under a Creative Commons License (including this t-shirt), working for the Electronic Frontier Foundation
and teaching a course on the subject at the University of Southern
California. Wait, how did a 'net superstar like this get mixed up with
Shirt.Woot?
Wear this shirt to: reassure your fellow citizens with a message of anxiety and suspicion.
Don’t wear this shirt to: an airport security checkpoint, or anywhere near a secure federal installation.
This shirt tells the world: “In paranoia we trust.”
We call this color: Code Red.

Please check American Apparel's sizing chart for men or for women before you order. The Woot Tee, constructed by American Apparel, follows their classic closer-fitting style. If you prefer a baggier look, order a larger size. If there is not a larger size, consider starting a belly-hanging-out trend.
