   and for the record i couldnt give a fuck about your incessant liberal bashing, but to disrespect your nation is simply ignorant

   I don't think that t-shirt is being disrepectful to Australia, it is a comment on the word "UnAustralian" and those who use it.

   You are right about one thing though, my Liberal bashing will never stop.

   Giovanni says:

   I was thinkin' you should have had the UnAustralian in quote marks, 'cause then it's really obvious that it's not literal i.e. - I am proud to not be Australian.

   Still, it's pretty obvious already so J Howard can suck it.

   I found <a href="http://www.argusonline.com.au/Articles/unoz.htm" target="_blank">this website</a> after we made the shirt (it seems we unwittingly copied their idea)… the blurb under the shirt expresses the sentiment pretty well;

   The label UNAUSTRALIAN is the worst thing a politician or talkback radio shock-jock can call you. It is designed to ostracise and marginalise, much like words like "illegal immigrant" and "boat people". Now, it is time the word was reclaimed and given some real power. By adopting this label and splashing it across your chest, you are not just rejecting those who indiscriminantly use this word, but you are also rejecting what they stand for - ignorance, short-sightedness and wedge politics. Buying this t-shirt doesn't mean you don't love your country. In fact, it means just the opposite - you love the place so much that you don't want to see it taken over by loud-mouthed idiots.

   Cor, has Roly got sunstroke or been brutally assaulted in the forehead?..i like the Afro-valution…

   Also, methinks that your "LIARS" shirts will elicit a similar response to that 3AM HouseCall u got with the posters at the front of your house…seriously, either hi-5s or death stares, make sure you get their DNA/blood on your shirt for identification later on…

   But, are u shitting me that FanC made a goddam "Delicious" t-shirt off silk screen??? Gold! That's unconscionable, and dare I say it…UNAustralian - nearly as UNAustralian as teenagers swamping talkback radio and using peer pressure to get Casey "Ryback" Donovan to QUIT SMOKING AND LOSE WEIGHT MS TUBBY ROLE-MODEL…

   Get those "WCR-50GZ Careful Scientist" shirts out here buddy, or else I might have to start dipping into Big Perm's two shirt wardbrobe!

   (PS How many wears u getting out of them shirts - remember, some of us aren't StinkyPants Students anymore, so we need to like wash like at least monthly!)

   that is probably the stupidest thing i have ever read. it only just stops short of suggesting australians are ignorant and short sighted.

   the slogan does not convey the message which you are aiming for, rather it implies that you are happy you are not australian, and could care less if you were. i am not against your cause for the challenging of any government is sure to at LEAST improve it if not change it (as you so religiously desire), i simply think this tshirt is a horribly unpatriotic form of protest.

   oh and dont forget even 'bleeding heart liberal' is a niche market these days.

   The "evolution" and "delicious" shirts were not made by us.. although they would be quite easy.

   Re: Washing.. these shirts are top-quality mate. I've washed my "Smashing Cop" one a couple of times with no loss of colour.

   Re: WCR-50GZ shirts, I'll try and gather enough cash for emusions this weekend.

   J Howard, the shirt is meant to be a little confrontational, just like my "Howard Lies", "Liars", and "Fuck Shit Up" shirts. I am sorry they make you sad, these are sad times for a lot of people. If you like I can make you a "Unhappy and Proud" shirt.

    'bleeding heart liberal' has been a niche market since at least the mid 80's, like 'disaffected youth', 'unhappy and proud', 'hippy' and campus 'lesbian'. we've been sold our ironic consumerism, they're selling it back to us just as ironically. enjoy.

    this is how I justify my addictions to neighbours, swearing and cheap romance novels, and my pride in being '"''"unaustralian"''"'.

    I'm just wondering if we can combine careful scientist and safety wine for our Meredith shirts/flags.
    We should each make a kilbot shirt (I think the artwork should go up here for further discussion/ideas), a careful scientist shirt and a safety wine shirt. We should design an over the top coat of arms with all three concepts featured for the flag to fly above our glorious tent.
    Then again careful scientist doing a goon scull would say safety wine to me.
    ps. I would like an Unaustralian shirt. As an educated (read intellectual) neo-Marxist with humanist leanings (a bit of a fabian really) I'm pretty sure I'm Unaustralian according to the rationale used by th J Howards and Stan Zemenick.
    I'm sleep deprived and ranting.
    I'm tired of people feeling high and mighty about being selfish and not being high and mighty. Hypocritical amoral moralist. Eat a bowl of my fuck.
    Can I make a shirt that says that?

    OMIGOD! *splurge* that there looks like a quality T, m'man!
    Please to email me your BSB/Acc details, and I shall forward u fundage! Me requires XL - XXL (knee-length is good, and we're talking XL on me bro, not puny Kilbot size!), plain black-on-white, nice tight neck…mmm-mmm I can feel a SWEEP THE LEG coming on….

    Now's about the time I also rummage thru my closet for that elusive "DIE YUPPIE SCUM" t-shirt… whatever happened to Yuppie's? and MAD magazine…

    I will come by your hose and give you money.
    That'll teach those dirty banks

    Blazin Billy Zabka says:

    Done and done - expect your Bank to be calling you up over that Statement relating to Animal-On-Infant-Porn…(your real name's Das Kilbut ya?)…and I chucked on an extra $2, not just coz I'm a bloody tops fella, but I feel that you're the type of dude who can really do something with an extra $2 (and I DON'T mean dried spermazoa in me package!)

    And Taco - nice freudian slip with the "hose" and the "come" and the "dirty" and "my dad's a BANKer" and so on…

    Big Perm - you know the ones Im talking bout, the checkered shirt, the "Brasil" t-shirt, and the other checkered shirt (sorry, 3 in total - still outnumbering Loro Van Turk by 4!!!)

    hey I love the meredith t-shirt idea, but can we come up with an extreme low cost option? And can we meet this sunday at K-bot's to come up with some ideas and work on the coat of arms?

    I am also designing a meredith dress from a set of BMX bike sheets.

    How's this for a shirt:
    someone on a ladder that is being supported by another person. There is a red cross next to this image.
    On the back
    The person supporting the ladder is unconscious on the floor (probably with crosses for eyes) while the person on top of the ladder is skulling from a goon cask.
    As an Occupational Health and Safety Representative, this to me yells SAFETY WINE.
    nb. needs witty safety wine line
    ps. I am going to the cricket on Sunday. Could we have preliminary discussions and possible stencil making TONIGHT. WHY DO I KEEP HITTING CAPS LOCK? That is better. I believe Fancy is recording tomorrow and I'll have to leave c. noon on Sunday.
    Maybe I should have emailed this to you, but Giovanni set the precedent on sharing boring details.
    pps. I am going to make the krilbot shirt. I am going to have a whale of a time. I am going to put this on the back.
    ppps. That was no slip, I'm always coming on Kilbot's hose, I bank on it.
    Yours in perpetuity
