Actually, a very impressive review of the typographic convention can be found here (including as long a sample from the text as you would like): http://www.lipsum.com/
Just as a thought to the creator -- people will critique things they don't understand on threadless. Clearly the life of this shirt is the play on replacing a heart with a mock-up of a well-remembered video-game icon, so that your shirt references gaming nostalgia, appeals to people's joy for playing on the "evil" side, and parodies pop memes in the ironic in-crowd way that attracts fans to threadless. We buy these shirts to feel superior to JoNightShade, whether or not the claim has any realistic merit. Your shirt does this nicely, I feel superior already.
I think you need to make it more subtle. A lot of people dont seem to like the god, and although I think we need more than just equations, the presentation here lacks visual elegance. I dont have a solution, but think along the lines of changing the perspective (literally) of the image. Emphasize the equations, perhaps make it more cluttered, or have more footnotes, or more erasures. Also, from a mathematicians perspective, you could do more than just set theory here -- what about integrations, differential equations, matrix notation...
While I am at it, you might want to stick other famous scientific equations in there too (I like newtons law of gravitation btw). Stuff like is featured here: http://xkcd.com/store/
Don't become derivative, but I am enthusiastic about what you have here, and I'd buy a polished version without hesitation.
Some people seem not to get it. The zeroes and ones translate the message to:
Hello my name is "made of zeroes and ones"
made of zeroes and ones =
