Shirt.Woot

Oh, great. Yet another reason for me to deny I live in New York.

I never heard of this guy. Too bad he seems like he is more of a publicity seeker than any sort of real problem solver.

Can't even get petitions?! TWICE? Wow...I bet he would really have done GREAT things in office. cough

I mean complaining and protesting is good, and if that is his intent, great. But sorry...it doesn't make you a good or effective leader. Does he know about any other issues?

No offense (which means please take offense) but ANYONE that takes this shirt seriously and is offended are as SPOOKTACULAR! as the people who take McMillan's campaign seriously.

You should give these shirts out for free! Make a real statement.

Welcome to TeeFury North.

I'm almost going to vote for Jimmy... and I'm almost going to buy this shirt.
I need to think more about both.

Don't sell out til I'm home from work!


Also: would I get it by election day?

Oh my goodness-Can you people lighten up? Woots sold dumber shirts than this. Besides it supposed to be funny. Who cares if he's an anti-semite. Dont people still see Mel Gibson movies?

The spelling/grammar is very low rent. Should be *damned*. maybe look this stuff up before you print it on a shirt...

Seriously! It's not bad enough that my university hikes our tuition every year, the apartments raise their rent too! Apparently they never got the memo that Michigan is in a depression right now.

too bad this guy will be forgotten in about 9 days from now.

THANK YOU. I was waiting for someone to do it.

/Left Happy.

if the proceeds of this shirt don't go to the Rent is 2 damn high party then I sincerely hope Jimmy McMillan sues... or at the very least walks down to Texas and karate chops someone.

Even better.

I thought I was on fury for a moment, but then again that's been happening a lot with the dailies lately.
Come on woot. Bring us some art shirts!

Shirt looks familiar.

No, this shirt looks familiar,

I think the party name is somewhat vulgar and low class, and should be renamed:

This might be the worst shirt of all time.

BTW, get a better job? Seriously? During the worst job market since the great depression?

Jimmy Mc may be an ineffectual anti-semite, but being a flippant bastard isn't going to solve anyone's problems, either. So keep your two cents, 'cause that and your opinion isn't going to help anyone.

With an attitude like that (worst job market, overpriced rent, ridiculous commute, no better jobs available, etc), it is not surprising you took offense to my comment. All I was saying is if you have a problem, and you want it fixed, you need to fix it. Do not ask someone else to fix it for you, as it will only happen with strings attached (lost freedom). Get out of your chair and make change for yourself. That used to be the American way. Sadly, that is changing fast.

My earlier comment was respectful and not from a "flippant bastard." Neither was this one. Please show a little respect if you want to be taken seriously.

They did.

If you look at all 3 of them together, It looks like the template from 2gether3ever was taken and the logo removed, then the face was taken from the zazzle t shirt and shrunk down to size.

My reaction to this shirt:
Keep calm and carry on.....

Pass.

Looking at their website, I'm starting to get swayed. When I look at how well the site it put together with moving text and comic sans, I think, "Hey! These people know what they're doing!"

The only thing they're missing is the "Under Construction" gifs:

Mel and Jimmy should do lunch.

To be fair, campaigning against rent is much more important than a website that comes close to HTML3 standards.

I strongly object to woot.com publicizing for an anti-Semite:

I strongly suspect that woot.com didn't do any political vetting, but Jimmy McMillan's racism is out of bounds. I urge Woot to retire this t-shirt immediately, unless swastika t-shirts for laughs is the next thing they want to sell.

Huh, so Woot's latching on to any internet meme they can get their hands on now? ghoulish.

I can get these types of shirts on a million other t-shirt websites. I always thought Woot was a tad classier than the other guys. Apparently not. Thanks Amazon.

i have to agree... and it looks like the person in the sunglasses and mustache is in the process of paying their rent... this was just not executed well i think. so much for PG-13 woot!

this guy will be irrelavent before smart post ships it.

Point well taken.

AugustePDX wrote:The guy's an anti-semite. I know it hasn't been widely reported, but it might have been a good idea to do a little googling before printing a shirt.

Pass, and disappointed.

Completely agree. See my post above.

This is the problem with poor people. They look around at the squalor they live in, the ineffectual schools they're forced to attend which lead to the improper education they get, the lack of gainful employment opportunities, and they just COMPLAIN instead of deciding to make everything better.

You know, with all that power and influence they have.

Yeah! I mean, don't they watch Disney movies? The unfortunate always come out ahead, as long as they want something bad enough and have a good heart. Stu-pid bad-hearted poor people.

So will woot! be forwarding the net proceeds from this shirt to Jimmy McMillan?? Or perhaps to his landlord? Why???

Because the Rent is Too Damn High!

Found this by accident. RITDH's webmaster sadly didn't use it as a reference -- he's missing a few.

People take this guy's personal views that serious? Agreed with the Mel Gibson comments.

Also, this shirt is bloody. In for one, it applies for current NY election but ... just rent in general haha. The message is so universal.. can't pay for dinner? Why..the rent...is too damn high.

qft

as for him railing against jewish landlords enslaving poor black people, well that just ruins my plans to fly up to New York and sneak my way onto the voter registration to vote for this man.
memes are one-dimensional, you see it, you laugh. two-dimensional you did some research and know the full back story. three-dimensional you're letting it influence your life? hmmmmm

oh and Bootsboots, I happen to be wearing your shirt today
:3
is that weird to know?
