Tshirt Hell is closing.

[P1p3s]

I know this is old news because the announcement went out last week, but I am genuinely upset by this great bastion of hillarity slipping away from us.

The owner of the site/founder of the company posted a message that says (in short) that he is shutting the site because it isn't fun for him to run anymore, there are too many people sending hate mail and death threats, he wants his staff to be safe from people who don't get what he is trying to do.

So...to make this a discussion not just my weeping over the interwebs how do you feel about this?
What's the best tshirt you've got/wish you had bought?

And although it's sad it's going, there should be a kick ass sale on tshirts now

Death threats? What the fuck is wrong with people?

Death threats? What the fuck is wrong with people?

This was the first thing that I thought. Who the hell is sending death threats to a t-shirt company?

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Damn! That's just wrong. I got my π-mp t-shirt from there.

Anyway, didn't realultimatepower.com get hundreds of death threats? and you know Maddox will have had hundreds.

 

[dalek sec]

Damnit, I loved those shirts.

The rant on the site about why he's doing it is great.

Attention any venture capitalists or independent investors/business assholes who are about to inquire about purchasing T-Shirt Hell. Don't. You won't do the company justice and I won't take that chance. I'm putting it to sleep. It's over.

That's right, I'm crazy. I'm pulling the plug on a company I could have sold for millions. Why in the fucking world would I do something so stupid? Because I can. I don't care about money. This is the way I've always done things...my way.

another good thing taken away cause of someones stupidity..

 

[TMAN10112]

aaawwwww..... I was planing on buying a shirt from them eventualy. Oh well, I guess i'll just have to buy my hilariously offensive T-shirts somewhere eles .

Ha hadn't seen that before, the one with the black kettle saying to the black pot "what the fuck did you call me?" is genius. as is the cookie cutter. But i'm sure you will be able to get all of those t-shirts somewhere on the web.

 

[Kukakkau]

never heard of it till now but i love those shirts!!

 

[Erana]

I dunno... Its a little...
Well, I prolly wouldn't be wearing the shirts, but I would possibly be amused if someone else was wearing one...

 

[NXMT]

I'm pretty sure just about everybody with a notable site has been sent a death threat or two.

 

[Sir Ollie]

damn, i always wanted to get that ride the handicap shirt oh well too late now

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Woah I loved that website. Going to miss it.

 

[Vorpals]

That was such a funny site...

...Damn. They all look so good, but I only wear black long-sleeve shirts.
Damn!

You can actually customize the t-shirt that the design is on for a price, and I think one of the options is longsleeve and black is probably a color.

 

[pantsoffdanceoff]

Damn, I would buy one of those shirts if I had the balls. But I don't.

 

[Hippobatman]

I was going to buy a t-shirt or two, and now they're closing?

Oh, the humanity...

 

[sheic99]

Damn! That's just wrong. I got my π-mp t-shirt from there.

Anyway, didn't realultimatepower.com get hundreds of death threats? and you know Maddox will have had hundreds.

But Maddox posts the worst ones he gets.

 

[P1p3s]

UPDATE TO ALL:
They are open for 6 more days if you wanna get a tshirt and get some death threats of your own.

teehee

It's a pity to see this bastion of crass free-speech tumble under idiot pressure. Unfortunately I haven't got any T-shirt Hell shirts, though I know I'd have liked to get a few. Perhaps they'll open up under a different name, quieter, some different designs and the like. Subtle comeback. I can dream.

As Khell said: if you have a problem with such shirts, take it up with the people wearing them, or ignore it. Going after the producers is just a little immature. Their shirts are a result of the market feedback after all, not propaganda thrust upon unsuspecting clothes dummies.
