Militant Geek Custom Shirts

I wanted so badly (ok, moderately bad; bad like a Lindsey Lohan movie bad, not a Wayans Brother movie bad) to like this shirt featured predominately on Boing Boing today. Why?

1. It’s for a good cause: proceeds from the sale of the shirt go to help the emergency medical fund for the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA).
2. The meaning behind the phrase is obscure and tenuous which sometimes enhances the uniqueness.
3. There simply isn’t enough props given to the SFWA.
4. Cory Doctorow pimped it and no one, no one opposes the Cory without unleashing all the pent up, sexual frustration waiting at the gates of geekdom.

But, despite those things going for it I simply can’t recommend this tee. I suppose the irony here is that a shirt that features fart humor would look like ass. If you simply can’t be bothered with style over your substance you can get yours from Zazzle.com for $22.95. And, if so, here is some entertainment you might be interested in.
