Here's another cringe-inducing T-shirt from the folks at ThinkGeek. Listen, this would have been cool at the beginning of 2000, for about three months. Now it's just sad.
How about this cool T-shirt idea for geeks everywhere: "I'd rather be surfing the World Wide Web!"

Posted by: David at December 2, 2003 11:15 AMDavid, have you "got root?"
Posted by: Andrew at December 2, 2003 12:34 PMOK, yes. But it was a gift. And I'm greatful.
Anyway, I'm with Brooke. Actually, I think it's at least more clever than "I have a blog, do you?" (or, yes, "got root?" which I, too, did not ask for, but got for free along with my "binary people" shirt). But who am I to say what's sad or not; I'm not cool, after all. And it only takes one person to say something is "sad" to make it so, unless the person wearing the shirt clearly and indisputably has it going on in life. And even then, the other people who see the cool guy wearing it and think that means it's OK for them to wear that item are still sad, because they're wannabes.
Now, if you were to make this statement about the AYB T-shirt they're still selling [http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/gaming/3777/], I'd have no choice but to agree with you.
