Buzzkill - Malaria Charity Shirt

Buzzkill t-shirt from NothingButNets.net

I bring to your attention this fine shirt, the purchase of which benefits a fine cause. Note that this is not a Far Out Shirts shirt, but is produced by the Nothing But Nets campaign, sponsored by the UN, to raise money to buy mosquito-proof bed-nets for malaria-ridden parts of the world.

I first heard about this campaign, and indeed, about what a killer malaria still is in much of the world, after reading an article about it in National Geographic. It made me say, "holy shit", anyway.

The bottom line is, malaria's bad, and there's no vaccine yet. It's transmitted almost exclusively by mosquitos, at night. People that can have a net over their bed, especially little kids, have a better chance of not dying a horrifying death or being permanently brain damaged.

And, that's a cool shirt. Available in men's & women's styles, printed on American Apparel shirts, $20. $10 of which buys somebody a lifesaving bed-net. Check it out.

New Shirt: Cthulhu Loathes You


Cthulhu Loathes You


Cthulhu loathes me, this I know
For the Necronomicon tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong

New Shirt: I'll Be Back


I'll Be Back


"I'm a friend of Sarah Connor. I was told that she's here; could I see her please?" Whenever a badass cyborg assassin from the future asks you something like that, don't be difficult. If you are, well, they'll probably be back.

Apple T-shirts, old vs. new

On the eve of this year's Steve Jobs Macworld keynote, here are some Apple-y shirt for you.

What Would Steve Do? shirt
First is one of our favorites, which would have been perfect to wear at the Macworld: WWSD?. Sorry, should have told you that a few weeks ago, I guess. If Jobs announces some kind of Apple-branded time machine, you could use that to go back in time, order one and wear that...

The next one comes from a post by Fake Steve Jobs (a hilarious blog that's been turned into an even funnier book) titled, "We weren't always so good at marketing":
old Apple t-shirts

Speaking of Fake Steve, here's another shirt that would've been good to wear at Macworld. Not much to it, honestly, but a cute idea, especially for that event.
