Who dunnit?

]]> Sat, 12 Jul 2008 10:39:43 -0500 ripping off MP(3) has gone and ripped off Stone Jungle.

It's printed on red. It's not a direct copy, the city skyline is of a completely different city and bizzarely there are hot air balloons instead of planes. The Republic image would've been created from scratch rather than from a livetrace or something, but the concept is completely stolen.

There's no website on the label that I could see and it's very hard to find a website for the company through google because so many brands or political t-shirts include the word "republic" so I'm just going to post this and we can all shake our fists and curse at no one and probably accomplish nothing in here.

But I'll get a better look at it tomorrow, maybe post some pics and look into finding some contact details.]]> Tue, 08 Jul 2008 09:24:30 -0500 Powers of Ten. Technically, it was an old gag, though a new episode, but it made me feel all nostalgic.

You probably watched it at the planetarium or observatory on some school excursion when you were little.

What I loved about it was that you could look through a telescope at the stars or through a microscope at your cells and see something equally as amazing.

So I thought I'd share, just in case you never saw it, or if seeing it again will make you feel like I did seeing that couch gag tonight:



At school, they let us watch it on the VCR, with the fast forward on. YouTube can't offer you that, but it's still cool.]]> Mon, 07 Jul 2008 01:48:06 -0500 Naked and Angry.

I think this would be a good idea. It seems so obvious, I'm sure people have already considered it so staff are encouraged to drop hints here if this might be coming soon.

What if Threadless joined forces with N&A to create patterned fabric designs that could then be sewn into t-shirts? Now that Threadless are making their own I'm sure this would be easy. It could probably be done in America too by the same factory that makes the custom Select colours.

It would allow designers to overcome some of the limitations we're encountering with the belt printer, such as the one-colour limit and problems with printing over the seams. A printed fabric could be multiple colours, and would not be afftected by the seams.

Also, it could potentially allow designers to offer a screen print to be printed on after the t-shirt is sewn.

So anyone else think it's a good idea? Or do patterned t-shirts just look lik pyjamas? Although Threadless pyjamas ... there's an idea.]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 15:43:05 -0500 Thu, 22 May 2008 11:34:02 -0500

I had this idea, except I'm sure it wasn't my idea and I've stolen it from somewhere else, but I can't for the life of me think where.

It was probably a sketch comedy show. Does anyone recognise this joke from somewhere?

It's just a shoddy mock-up, but basically Clark Kent is running to the phonebooth to change into Superman. Dr Who, Neo and Bill also need to use the phonebooth, but none of them can because Colin Farrel is trapped inside.]]> Fri, 09 May 2008 09:48:39 -0500 Great tits cope well with warming

Did you think this was about what I thought it was about?

Were you disappointed when you found out it wasn't?

And did it remind you of this/these?

what the fuck is wrong with you? You come out of your cubicle and see me there washing my hands and then you just walk right out the door! I don't want to have to touch the door after you've been in there doing whatever. That's like touching your dick or your arse, or everything it's ever come into contact with. And I don't want to eat my lunch afterwards, that's like putting your dick in my mouth. And I really don't want to do that.

Also,

Dear Madonna,

please put some pants on. No one has wanted to see your legs in at least fifteen years.

Also,

Dear Channel 7,

you replaced Lost with Britain's Saggiest Boobs featuring Trinny and Susanna? That was really annoying.]]> Mon, 05 May 2008 10:06:38 -0500 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 23:26:32 -0500
You know what I'm talking about.

Typically, like a votard, the subtard is at highschool and has absolutely no idea of what constitutes effective t-shirt design.

Much like the votard, who scores good designs terribly due to its crippling stupidity and ignorance, the subtard will submit terrible designs and expect them to print.

When the subtard discovers Threadless, it thinks, that is the easiest way to make 2000 bucks I have ever seen.

The subtard does absolutely no research before submitting its design. The subtard does not score designs. It is not unusual to discover that the subtard has one design in the running and has scored one submission, giving an average score of 5.00 . This means the subtard does not have any clue of what is actually likely to print on Threadless or how voters typically react.

The subtard does not use the Critiques.

Subsequently, the subtard will submit something that sucks.

The subtard believes that having 30 friends vote 5$ for its design will be enough to pull its average up.

When its design fails to break a 1.6 and is dropped, the subtard will go to the "Changes to the 1.5 rule" blog to complain about this "new" rule. If the subtard is really stupid, it will go to the "Important New Scoring Functionality" blog to complain and will tell everyone how its design scored more than 1.5 .

The subtard will not use this as an oppurtunity to learn and improve.]]>
