| Bobby Kotick is the man in charge of Activision. He's typically characterized as the wrong kind of person to head up a game publisher, because his focus is 100% on profit and 0% on quality of product. He is often portrayed as having devil horns, a tail, burning eyes, or other easily-created-in-photoshop evil traits. This is mostly because he already has a wicked demonic grin that he wears whenever he has his photo taken.
Gabe Newell is one of the men in charge of Valve. By all accounts he's a pretty chill dude who believes video games are awesome, although he doesn't like developing for consoles as it's a pain in the ass. He is, however, very rich, and hasn't released Half Life 2: Episode 3 yet. He gets the same treatment as Kotick, except instead of an evil grin he's fat and has a slight squint. Cheech & Chong are (were?) a comedy team who basically made marijuana jokes and made fun of the whole 'free love' thing. Neither is particularly attractive. I heard they got busted for actually distributing pot. I personally don't like this shirt, because I object to the word dyke and I'm not sure if you can succeed at reclaiming it, but I wish you well in your endeavor. |

Hehe! 
I also had the Idea a year ago to make a Shirt for myself for the gamescom. It was a half naked Mario with a Six-pack and a tight jeans and he was holding a Fireflower with his teeth. The title said: IM A HOT VIDEO GAMER. 
But couldnt do the shirt anymore...Because I had no time for the gamescom anymore, oh well. ____________________  .......  ..What?... |

Originally posted by Aux I think it's just the word "dyke" in itself being a hot button for some. It's a good attention-getter shirt in either direction though, that I see! I'm amused by the gag, but I can see how it's a bit off-putting. ____________________ _______________________ | 6073 | 13927 | 862 | 17 |  |

Originally posted by SofiOriginally posted by Miasmir I have only seen the word used in a pejorative context; this is my first time seeing it used for any reason but to disparage lesbians. So I thought of my memories of my friends being verbally abused before I even considered the reasoning behind the shirt. Seeing that design made me uncomfortable. That's all. No fake pity for feel good points. I didn't mean to come across as offended, because I wasn't. On the plus side, now that I've spent so long staring at the shirt and deciding what I think about it, I'd probably laugh if I saw it in real life. Discomfort: Vanquished? Sorry I didn't make myself more clear to begin with. The visual gags are pretty good too. Oh, also Aux, I'm so sorry about the drama.  I didn't mean to. |
