If you want to buy one of these hacker parody tshirts inspired by Ted Stevens' immortal sena-tardial utterance, now you can. Info at seriesoffallopiantubes.com.
Boingboing pal Jacob Appelbaum spotted the shirts at HOPE earlier this week, and shared them here on BoingBoing.
Cheebs says,
I just wanted to point out to everybody that these t-shirts were hand-made by the Prometheus Radio Project. They were creating the shirts and giving them out for small donations as a fundraiser towards future "barnraisings", more info here. I bought one myself and looking forward to having most of my female (and possibly male) friends wanting one too. Oh and some of them also say on the back (as far as I can remember since mine does not have it): "Senator Stevens: Don't tie my tubes."
(thanks, Kristen Pitner). BB reader Justin Time adds,
I heard it was their first try at making tees this way and they did an excellent job. They sold out of men's shirts and most women's shirts. As a side note, this year's HOPE had the highest percentage of women I've yet seen at a super-fun con.
The Prometheus Radio folks say,
"I think just for the sake of sanity we're going to limit to silver,
shiny charcoal, or shiny pink on black or pink shirts, and men's and
women's cuts, of course.(…)
We are going to sell them to fundraise for some incredible media activism and digital divide groups here in Philadelphia, so your bucks go to unclogging the IntarTubes for all. We are also going to release the silk screen design for diy'ing so you can have your own geekerly silk screening party in your town, on your porch, or in your basement."
And Jake shot tons more photos at HOPE: they're here.
