February 10th is their last day. Makes me a little sad, I have bought some great shirts from them in the past few years.

They sucked once they got rid of their "worse than hell" shirts. I bought a great many shirts from them back then.

I've purchased shirts from them ; sorry to see them going out of business. Victim of the times.

I play poker with an owner (he might be "the" owner, but I'm unsure). I'll ask him about this.
He lives in my neck of the woods. |

tag to look at tonight, maybe the site will be working then. working for me now. |
|
Wow, takes a real man to wear those fine works of art. Can't believe they are going out of business.

Quoted:
I never found anything that I would wear. BigDozer66 yep, a few shirts that made me smile, but nothing I would wear |
|
Hmmm, I'll have to place an order by then. Always good to have a shirt or two to offend people.
|
|
I bought their "BAAAA means NO!" T-shirt, but a friend saw it before I had a chance to wear it and bought it off me right then and there.
I still have the "The Koran: Now in 2-ply" shirt though. I never wear it, but I have it. |
|
Nothing that I would ever wear. Some are kind of funny though.
|
|
is Torso Pants going away too or just the T Shirt Hell line? |

I'm done. I'm finished. I can't take the stupidity anymore, so I'm leaving and I'm taking my website with me. As of Tuesday, Feb 10, 2009, T-Shirt Hell will be no more. No, I'm not selling out to some douchebag corporate entity. No, we're not being sued by any of the over 40 companies that have sent us cease and desists over the years. No, I'm not going to jail (yet) and no, it's not because of the economy. Although, the recent dip in sales certainly does make the idea easier to accept, even though we still sell over 3000 shirts a week. I started this company in June of 2001, nearly 8 years ago, with the intention of producing the best satirical, the most controversial, the funniest t-shirts on the internet. Generally speaking, I feel I've accomplished that and am satisfied with what we've put out. I made a shitload of dough along the way. I've done cocaine off the better body parts of supermodels. I've even raped and killed a mountain panda in the hills of Shaanxi. But these perks are besides the point. I just don't feel like dealing with idiots anymore. I'll give you an example of the kind of misguided morons we deal with on a regular basis at T-Shirt Hell. We released a new shirt a couple weeks ago that says "It's not gay if you beat them up afterwards". I will not explain the irony or the social commentary of the slogan because anyone with half a brain should be able to handle that on their own. Problem is, we've been besieged with emails from angry people complaining about the "fact" that the shirt is hate speech or that we're promoting gay bashing and should take it down immediately. Comments like: "I can't even believe people buy this shit. Do you realize your supporting a hate crime? That makes you feel better about yourself? Wow you need a life. We're all human beings and you can't except it." and "It's Not Gay:If You Beat Them Up After"?? That is highly inappropriate and very very morally wrong. I will be advising everyone I know to avoid buying anything from your site until shirts like this are removed. In this world people are fighting for equality and a chance to be themselves without fear of being beat up because of who they are, yet here is an established website promoting hate and violence. You all should be ashamed of yourselves." Now, I can't say I'm surprised we're getting hate mail from people who have nothing better to do than to start half-assed campaigns because of their lazy, just enough passion for an email, ideals towards a misguided cause. It happened when we did our first really controversial shirt, "The School Shootings Tour", it happened when we did our "What About All The Good Things Hitler Did" shirt, it happened when we did our "Arrest Black Babies Before They Become Criminals" shirt (boy did it happen then). It used to happen all the time when we did more social commentary and didn't give a fuck about what anyone thought and did shirts that did not leave anyone out. Unfortunately, as a concern for the safety of my employees, we don't push the envelope as much anymore...and I can't say I feel good about having caved in. Anyway, rather than cater to the masses, I'm just going to stop making shirts. It's not enjoyable anymore and I have enough money to move on to something more rewarding. Maybe I'll start my own hooker farm or maybe I'll practice sleeping. Whatever I decide to do, it will be better than this. Attention any venture capitalists or independent investors/business assholes who are about to inquire about purchasing T-Shirt Hell. Don't. You won't do the company justice and I won't take that chance. I'm putting it to sleep. It's over. That's right, I'm crazy. I'm pulling the plug on a company I could have sold for millions. Why in the fucking world would I do something so stupid? Because I can. I don't care about money. This is the way I've always done things...my way. So, to all the kickass motherfuckers who supported us and REALLY got what we were trying to do, thank you (no, not you, you racist idiots who thought we actually had racist intentions and no, not you, you dumb as a stump fucks who just think any shirt with the word "fuck" on it is as right as rain). Thanks to all the people who contributed to my vice fund and at the same time helped make a funny statement about the world today. As a final farewell, I'm going to bring back some of the top selling Worse Than Hell shirts as a fuck you to those who forced me to remove them. To those who are offended by them and to those who think I'm racist, promoting rape, a nazi, homophobic or just the world's biggest asshole...well, at least you think I'm something, which means I've achieved what I wanted. Thanks to Gary, Mika, Jacob, Greg, Bob, the black lady who writes our newsletter, and to everyone else who was part of T-Shirt Hell. Time to move on to even greater things. I'll miss you (by miss, I mean, it's going to suck not being able to give you my excellent reach arounds when you least expect them). Fuck you, -Sunshine Megatron |

My favorite shirt that I could never wear anywhere but I always wanted it was the one that said
Are you tighter than a fifth grader. |

Taken from the site, here is why he is closing down.

i wasted a bit of time and signed up for the t-shirt hell members area, and can only view ONE shirt in it? WTF ?
youd think they would have more shirts for their members... |
|
That guy is pretty fucking cool. I'd never wear one of his shirts but I respect the fuck out of him.
|
|
You may not like the shirts, but the guy is a staunch 2nd supporter and very conservative in his political leanings.
hard to tell from the shirts I guess. |
|
Can't believe these shirts are going away...
I'm seriously tempted to get my ex-wife the "Swallows" t-shirt with the cute little birdies! BIGGER_HAMMER |

That sucks. I love their stuff.

I remember a while back when a woman was kicked off a plane for wearing one of his shirts, and he made a blanket offer that if it EVER happened to anyone again (only if it were for the shirt, not if they were kicked off for some other reason), he would send the tshirt hell jet to pick them up.
Respect the hell out of the guy and will happily keep wearing the shirts i have from him. Proud owner of: Bad Samaritan Once you go white, you never go back, aight? WWJD for a klondike bar? straight rainbow I support single moms Now to pick one more before they are gone forever. |
