Zombies, walkers, the undead…whatever you choose to call them, they have become a staple in modern culture. So, it’s no surprise that we have a ton of zombie t-shirts for you to choose from. From gory to funny, we have it all. Plus, you can customize any design with our zombie art in the design center!
I pay $8.99 for every comment I make as IMadeYouATeeShirt. $5.00 goes to DonorsChoose.org, via RedditDonate.com, in the name of reddit. $3.99 goes directly to reddit in the form of one month of reddit gold for the parent commenter.
IMadeYouATeeShirt is a novelty account in the same vein of Sure_Ill_Draw_That or Shitty_Watercolour, but instead of ink and paper my medium is t-shirt design.
Each comment will have a “footer”. The footer will link to this blog post, it will give the transaction ID of the RedditDonate.com donation, and it will link to the user who just received a month of reddit gold. The footer and this blog post all exist as part of an effort to maintain total transparency.
Well, I’m linking back to a site (FunnyShirts.org) that actually sells t-shirts. I realize now a novelty account linking to a commercial website wouldn’t be genuine unless it was completely transparent. Plus, it should pay for its comments.
A bunch of reasons:
We do that too! We’ve just begun with an ad on r/dolan that links to our dolan shirts.
Yes, in the spirit of transparency, I tried something like this once before. But I went about it all wrong. I lacked the transparency and the “sponsored” part of my novelty account. I’m trying to make up for those errors of long ago.
Yee-ouch. I understand there might be opinions like this. Please remember, the beauty of reddit lies in its total commitment to democracy. If people don’t like what I’m doing, then they’ll downvote me. If people like what I contribute, then they’ll upvote me. I’m hoping to be judged on the quality of the content that I bring to the conversation.
You might also be concerned that I’m starting a precedent, that soon reddit will be filled with business interests and self-proclaimed sponsored novelty accounts. At first, this sounds bad to me as well. But really think about it. Firstly, I think it will be immensely difficult to weave high quality content into a “sponsored” format. Secondly, don’t forget our right to vote. Only the good content will actually get seen. In the unlikely future where a bunch of these sponsored novelty accounts are actually posting good content while donating a lot of money to charities like DonorsChoose.org and doing it all with total transparency, well, that doesn’t sound so bad.
I’m starting a self-proclaimed sponsored novelty account, which means I’m paying $8.99 per comment because I’m linking to a commercial website. I really hope reddit enjoys it and I’m a little nervous about your imminent feedback.

The election is growing near, so now is a perfect time to show your support for your favorite presidential candidate with custom political shirts. Or, if you prefer, you can show your dislike for your least favorite candidate. Either way, we have plenty of Obama t-shirts and Romney t-shirts to meet your preference.
Ah, bro shirts. They have become a staple in bro culture thanks to Pauly D and the rest of the Jersey gang. If you don’t have one, you’re seriously lacking in bro points. Not to worry, because here at FunnyShirts.org we have all of the bro shirt varieties you’re looking for:
Choose your favorite or collect them all, bro!
If you’re familiar with the Scumbag Steve meme, you’ll love our new Scumbag t-shirts. You can edit one of our designs or upload your own image to make your own funny Scumbag saying. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Are you a brony, dude? It’s cool, we don’t judge you for liking ponies. In fact, we have a soft spot for bronies. That’s why we’ve added a ton of new brony t-shirts!
FunnyShirts.org now has over 50 290 [Edited June 2014] Keep Calm and Carry On designs on dozens of different items. But here’s what’s really special about these designs: they are all completely customizable.
We’ve found that our customers aren’t just searching for your standard white text on red shirts that say “Keep Calm and Carry On”. No, they want Keep Calm and Dance On, or Swag On, or Party On, or a basically infinite variety of sayings. At FunnyShirts.org, they are in luck. Anyone can take any of our 50+ designs and customize them in our design center, where they are able to add their own text, art, and images. They can also take their design and put it on any other item in our catalog via the Swap Out Item tab.
The really great thing about Keep Calm and Carry On (as well as Cool Story Bro, and many other designs) is that it’s being embraced by little circles of friends all across the world. Within these circles of friends, in-jokes develop. The funny way someone uses a phrase, that one time that so-and-so got too hammered, these little things become running jokes among groups of friends. One friend forwards a funny ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ picture to a few other friends. Some variation of Keep Calm and Carry On becomes an in-joke. These friends love it so much, that they want to make t-shirts. They search “Keep Calm T-Shirts“, but mostly they just find the same designs over and over again on dozens of sites. But at FunnyShirts.org, they realize they can get EXACTLY what they want. A few seconds later, they have their design. Shopping Cart. Checkout page. Boom. Done.
These are exciting times.
