Crush...Yiff...Destroy!

So, I've run this idea past AP, BobSez, and Meat, and they all seemed to like it, so here goes...

Front: Mitch's "LOL FURRIES" 'monolith' graphic. (with Mitch's permission, of course)

Back: "Monolithic Anti-Furry Conspiracy" on top line, with "LOL INTERNET Tour" beneath it. Below that, a concert-venue style listing of one-liners of the best furry drama from the past few years. Including:
-"(Oct/05) Postvixen quits the internet"
-"(??/??) YERF crashes with no backups, all data lost"
-"(Jan/05) Furnation dies (again)"
-"(Sep/02) Conifur hotel demolished 3 weeks before convention"
-"(May/05) Munchie meets his true love"
-"(??/??) Xydexx featured on PoE"

And so on. Granted, I'm not sure of the dates of most of that stuff, so it'd take a bit of digging to find that; as well as a lot of digging to find the funniest drama examples. Also, I suck at actual layout and design, so if anyone else is interested, by all means take the idea and run with it. If I were to see this on like, CafePress, I'd totally buy one...

Er, Conifur had hotel issues too? Oh, and I still think it would rock. One of those shirts your typical person would buy and promptly forget about.

Yerf crashed Dec/04.

I like your shirt idea, personally.

I'd buy one if not for the millions of people who ask what my shirts mean already.

The last thing I want is to tell everybody about furry, but it's still a totally awesome idea.

great idea! noone would know what the hell it meant though, although i could wear it for my own satisfaction i guess

The only reason I would buy an anti-furry shirt is to use it the only place where a lot of people know what the heck furry is, that being a furry convention.

Since I'm not going to a furry convention just to have fatasses lay all over my car getting grease on my windshield and have the police called over me having an imaginary bomb, I don't think I will ever buy an anti-furry shirt.

But the idea is still pretty cute.

I like! I still wanna see a 'FURSECUTION! THE MUSICAL' tee shirt someday...

So before this thread gets covered by dust, tossed in the trash, pulled out of the trash, covered in felt and googly-eyes and pipe-cleaner antennae, sat on the end table as a conversation piece, and thrown back into the trash...anyone want to take on / assist in a project to do this? My layout skills are severely lacking, and I could use some help finding good drama to put on it.

Even if nobody is willing to commit to buying one, I'd still like to do it as a proof of concept. And I'd probably slap it up on CafePress or something like that, since it's dirt cheap.

interesting idea, I'll keep an eye out next time the voices in my head tell me to do something that makes no sense.

I think we should do one that says "CRUSH YIFF DESTROY -- IT'S WORSE THAN KITTENS." :D

For added effect, we could use Spreadshirt instead of CP and be able to print black shirts. It seems somehow more fitting for this site anyway.

of course, if you do go through with this, I'll have to buy several other weird "tour" shirts as well, at least the Napolean one.

since I was the first to point out how stupid that phrase sounds I wholeheartedly approve of this T-shirt idea

Perhaps "CRUSH YIFF DESTROY -- IT'S WORSE THAN KITTENS", followed by choice selections from the random quotes bin?

At this point in time, I would just prefer a normal CYD shirt, with maybe a small 'beardy old ex-pornsters' referrence on it in small print. You know, with jokey shirts, especially in-jokey ones, it's a very KISS matter.

Octan · Coadjutor Joined: 15 Feb 2005 Posts: 77

You know, if we did the "Worse than Kittens" one, Shawn Keller's Cheshire Kittens would be perfect as a graphic, given that his site is sort of an institution among the LOL FURRIES crowd. Too bad he hates us now... not to mention nobody knows how to contact him.

has it occured to you that anything having to do with furries KIND OF IS an in joke by default.

Stoneth · Needs to get out more Joined: 01 Dec 2004 Posts: 1225

I could go for a shirt with a illustration of two beardy old gentlemen mocking furries in speech bubbles, or an illustration going along the monolith theme.

Better yet, Photoshop beards onto Statler and Woldorf. I think that sums up the site quite nicely.

I have a rare opportunity to grab a single shirt out of this. Given that I have absolutely no faith in furries to actually pay for goods or services rendered, I'm not going to order a production run, however, I will throw the PDF up somewhere public for you yard apes to play with as you will.

Now, this is nowhere near finished. I need a good long list of e-incidents to write up here. Then I'll line it up properly and throw our Rankin in the background. So, what do have?

Angry Puritan got a nickname, now it's your turn. I hereby dub you...Stoner. Now writhe in shame before the masses.

Edit: Five bucks says I'm not the first person with this idea.

You're not the person to call me "Stoner". Vergerwolf beat you by four years or so.

Thought so.

Best way to distribute shirts like these are "Free" to those coming in the front entrance of a Con, can't be stopped by a lard ball squelling about unfuirness 'cause your technically not in the convention plaza.

:idea: Maybe the best way to pay for T-shirts is like the "fire boot donation"/charity donation; anyone and everyone pitches a few bucks so that free shirts can be made & distributed to educate visitors at cons. Maybe another positive effect of this is it might re-educate members of the furry dumb.

Whenever ya'll do come up with the final design, I'll buy one. I'll be wearin' it at next AC right along with my fake-ass tail :wink:

Personally, I'd go with something a bit more subtle like "I AM MONOLITHIC ANTI-FURRY AND I VOTED" or something. Not that I'm ever willing to go near a con or anything, I'm just saying that's what I'd do to annoy people. It's what I do best.
