Shirt.Woot

kitcatbrat wrote:You just don't understand these things. Photos of bacon that don't actually look like photos of bacon are super hard to work with. You have no idea what sort of turmoil they went through to create this shirt.

Even David Sedaris mentions it... "If it's hard to find a really good photograph of bacon, then it's even harder to find one of nachos" I'm paraphrasing, but hopefully you get the idea: Bacon does not equal photogenic. What do you bet we get an ugly nachos shirt tomorrow? or next week, whatever.

And this shirt is about as clever and aesthetically appealling as "at least we still have our shirts", meh. Can't we just get some 'almost-made-it' derby entries instead? A lot of people liked that squirrel...

This is absolutely the WORST Woot shirt I have ever seen. By far... i'm disgusted.

At first glance, I had no idea what it was, until I examined closely at the top of each individual bacons. That it wasn't just some glob of meat. If there were some sort of outline, or shadow, shading, etc, then it _might_ improve somewhat.

But... this shirt fails so much.

I'm not doing random shirts for few months. If I do get one, I'll just turn it into a rag for cleaning things.

Seriously, if this shirt got the designer a grand, then why... why this awful quality of a shirt?

hey can someone explain why this shirt is so bad besides the fact it's just a shirt with bacon on it and a name tag with "kevin" is there a bad reference to something?

woot, i'm starting to resent you.

Congrats Nomadslim aka Jason!, you rock!

what took you so long?

I still don't get it.

Yay! An inside joke from Woot for today's tee? My advice, next time do this on Zazzle or cafepress, get a few laughs around the office and give the other 99.9% of Wooters that *don't* work in your office, a decent Tee.

I expect my check in mail :P

Sad thing is, they'd likely print it.

mmmmmmm.... Bacon....

If only my name was Kevin.

Kevin Bacon. Ha Ha, how clever. This shirt is insulting, on so many levels. To pigs, bacon aficionados, chefs, farmers, BLTs, and anyone who has gotten over being too hip, clever, or ironic for their own good. Jason Bergsieker, you obviously have no respect for the sublime, transcendental power of the pork, so leave it to us professionals who can appreciate the beauty of a cured pork belly. Bacon is way too serious of a culinary delight to be tossed off on some silly t-shirt by hipsters so in love with their own sense of humor. Shirt.Woot, I'm seriously starting to question you as well

hahaha! I got this in my replacement randoms. I laughed so hard I cried. What can I say? I'm a nerdy gamer girl.

I think I'll pass on the KevinAtWoot Bacon though.

*edit* By "this" I obviously mean Bacon Bits...but I want to keep confusion at a minimum. Wait.........
Is that possible?

Because I'm confused by THIS: This shirt tells the world: “Have you seen my three buddies? They’re dressed like a lettuce and some toast. We’re hoping to pick up a real tomato.”

3 buddies? And isn't that cabbage?
I <3 shirt.woot! LMAO

How depressing of a thought is that??

Note to self - never buy a random shirt.

1. It's a pun on Kevin Bacon's name. And puns aren't funny unless there's some kind of double layer of meaning. There is not one here; it's just acknowledging that an actor's last name also means something else. Doesn't exactly count as observational humor.

2. The bacon isn't particularly well drawn, despite being taken from a photo. And all the bacon is cloned from a picture of one strip, which is a bit annoying.

3. The name tag says "Hello" instead of "Hello my name is" implying the bacon is meeting or looking for someone named Kevin. Maybe at an airport or something.

Is this some kind of marketing test of P T Barnum's adage???

Just weirded out.

watching the films 49 quality posts!!! You're either hilarious or rich enough to buy every item on here and have useful comments on it. Either way I think I know a gal that might want your number.

I'm disappointed that, as far as I can tell, you all are only getting half of the joke. Don't worry, shirt.woot, I got it.

Google is your friend, shirt.woot'ers. Surely you were wondering why the name of the shirt is "Six Degrees of Deliciousness"?

Funny, funny, shirt.woot, but not worth my $10 ;).

Also I don't like this because I don't think a design like this would look good on boobs

I'm a "boob"....I think it would look great on me..

you mean: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Kevin_Bacon ?

cancellation if you ask me... I am as well going to avoid random shirts...if anyone copies and pastes a tomato on a shirt and woot sells it...I quit.

The real tragedy here is that yet again woot does not seem to care that my bologna has a first name...

I really appreciate most of the artists here on shirt.woot. I stayed up until 1am this morning to see this shirt. It was so bad, I could not fall asleep. I tossed and turned. Eventually, at 4am I think I passed out in which I was late to work.

At first I thought this shirt was referencing the character Kevin from "The Office," not the actor who really hasn't done anything noteworthy.

perhaps, if the bacon was dancing footloose and fancy free...
