In a dark economy…it was a great way to drum up some fast business. With all of the hate mail he gets, maybe he needed to hire some body guards…fast!

[...] The first is resistance. The company is closing down due to the constant flood of objections that the t-shirts inspire. So here here for social protest. You can read the owner’s goodbye letter (as offensive as his t-shirts) here. [...]

My comment was meant to be tshirthell-like, with fake sarcastic racism and antisemitism that actually makes fools of the true racists and anti-Semites. Schwarzy knows what I mean. But it seems the reply comments went in a whole different direction! All the fun of my comment taken away by the very people I was making fun of! Poo on you all, I say. Poo. Literal poo. On your faces. Now inhale. That’s your comment smell.

The site is still up, so it seams like it wasn’t even worth mentioning.

They can only cry wolf so many times before they get ignored. But based on their business model, they honestly don’t give a damn.

the owner of the site has a $50,000 contest to whomever can guess when and how he’ll be murdered.

Pretending to close shop is kind of weak, just seams like a way to get some attention.

I don’t really find any of the T-shirts funny, personally. They don’t offend me in the least, but I couldn’t find any decent humor in them either.

A person such as this guy doing the things he did, how can ANYONE believe he’d shut down the company because of hate mail.

Srsly guise.

Thats exactly what he did. You think a person who makes fun of every type of person would shut down a website because of hate mail?

Its a joke.

T-Shirt hell isn’t going anywhere.

On February 16, Megatron stated that the site was not closing, and that the closure was a stunt aimed at boosting sales. Megatron referred to the stunt as his own “personal stimulus package.”

It’s lame and offensive. Or should I be saying “ok, they are being ironic, how funny”. T Shirt Hell is just another cause celebre, but not genuinely funny in itself.

Oh noes! What will all the immature highschoolers wear to heavy metal concerts now!?

Seriously, those are the only people I ever saw wearing T-shirt hell shirts, and only in that context. Yeah, I know, Sally Sandy-Vagina wore hers to blah blah blah. Whatever. Of the two or three people I’ve ever actually saw wearing a T-shirt Hell shirt that’s where they were, and that’s who was wearing them.

“Arrest Black Babies…” as other have pointed out, has little satirical value. It only has satirical value in that “Oh man, only an ignorant fucker would say that! Hilarious that you, a completely tolerant liberal individual are wearing it!” way, which is pretty basic. That’s Carlos Menica satire. Which I think we can all agree is pretty much the bottom-shelf, El-Toro brand of satire. It’s 5-O’Clock satire. Maybe even Boones Farm satire in some instances.

My there are certainly a bunch of humorless pricks in here. Well I’m pleased as hell to tell you that it was all a publicity stunt and oodles of money was made from it.

What a whiny self absorbed narcissist.

First of all, his shirts aren’t the funniest on the web. They aren’t now, they weren’t then.

Second of all, anyone who’s supposed to be THAT “edgy” should be able to take hate mail. Did he have an attack of conscious or is he just that much of a p*ssy? I get worse emails than that every day…from my own pisshead friends.

Third, shut up dude none of us are impressed. Trying to be offensive as possible is neither social commentary nor comedic, its just good old fashioned desperation. And lazy, too. Anyone can say something offensive. “I don’t share drinks with faggots because I don’t want to catch the gay.” Look, I just did it. Just because it pisses people off doesn’t make it intelligent or clever.

“I’m doing it my way, I’m such a badass even though I’m ditching all this money to whine about haters.” What a loser.
