I like

Dont get it?

I 'like' it. ( I crack myself up!!! )

cool design but i hate facebook, sowy not a buy

Very interesting design, not sure if it's for me but still cool!

I want something like this
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I dont get it.

not a fan of Facebook. Nice design though

I like it... but I feel like the shirt should be blue?

funny

... Also ... love the controller side art.

plain, but cute!

Man is that red. My eyes hurt.

meow, no thanks not a fan of facebook

this is funny hahahah very nice, no it shouldnt be blue its trying to model something different.....

wow! it seems everyone is missing the whole point of it being "red", excellent design, one of the more intelligent tees i have ever seen on here...

mcstephy said: ... Also ... love the controller side art.

me too! Better than that facebook thing

Daveb3274 said: meow, no thanks not a fan of facebook

That's the whole point. This is the shirt for people that are sick of facebook and being told to like everything.

Very well executed. I can't believe how many people don't understand it though.

why is this not blue? i like it though

HostileFire said: Man is that red. My eyes hurt.

Ha Ha, I'd expect a comment like that from a soldier working for Builders League United.

Hahaha brilliant! And so very accurate. It makes me sad that so few get it... :(

Since it's suppose to be an anti facebook tee, shouldn't it like be giving the finger instead of that odd thumb up, but yeah the mention of FB makes me break out in hives, so this shirt is a no go....

justinjones said: wow! it seems everyone is missing the whole point of it being "red", excellent design, one of the more intelligent tees i have ever seen on here...

Agreed! They also seem to think it means "I like FB".

So many people don't get this shirt! It's basically ABOUT not being a fan of Facebook. >_>

mcstephy said: I like it... but I feel like the shirt should be blue?

I thought the same thing!!

Rockin' design though! Have to sleep on it...

nice design and a realy clever comment on the creepy hegemony of facebook but would i buy a facebook related t shirt even if it was an insulting one? hmm nah sorry :/

i can see this NOT being an endorsement of FBs buttons, but I'm hard pressed to do so.

And since I am only grudgingly back on FB since I was helping arrange a memorial....pass.

otherwise, approval!

What i want to know is what's up with the controller side art ?

gonna sleep on it, it's pretty witty

the ironic thing is that you can 'like' this page from fb

I like the design, but anything to do with facebook (even if it's anti facebook) makes me cringe.

Victoria said: I like the design, but anything to do with facebook (even if it's anti facebook) makes me cringe.

agreed!!!!

In Soviet Russia, the post likes you.

Didn't get it when I saw it but after reading the info I am really proud of this shirt! Love the idea - very very cool and very very true :)

Kind of sad how many heads this is flying RIGHT over. "Nice design but I don't like facebook," "shouldn't this be blue?" Totally missing the point...

"... a cynical expression of the culture dictated by Facebook." It's right there in the description.

This reminds me of a high school office campaign where 1,000 people wore identical shirts that said "Express yourself."...Is that ironic or sardonic?

(Can one participate on FB and NOT be dictated by it?)

I get what it means but it's not for me. Cool side art though.

Wasn't going to buy, but so many people not getting it makes me like it a little more. Might have to snag this one.

I approve. Well done!

Its a soviet union reference to Facebook but as many of the comments show it doesn't seem to be very clear to most people.

I like it more because so few people seem to get it.
It's definitely the most intelligent shirt I've seen on here.

love this. very subtle ;)

lordgonchar said: Wasn't going to buy, but so many people not getting it makes me like it a little more. Might have to snag this one.

my thoughts exactly!

i'm literally lol'ing over the sheer irony involved with this shirt in the sense that it seems like those who are anti-facebook want nothing to do with it despite the fact that it was made with their sentiment in mind and that it seems like the buyers of this shirt will be those who do in fact actually like facebook and simply want it for the reference to facebook, not actually realizing it's actually countering the very thing they like. i think this shirt was a misstep on the artist's part and that if you are going to do an anti-shirt it should peddle to those who really want to display their hatred for that which they oppose, or maybe use different imagery? and for those who think it should be blue, i dont know if the shirt wouldve commanded the very iconic image it was trying to reference if it was blue, but you're more than welcome to purchase the shirt and color it blue with your crayons if you see fit, although that might produce purple which is the by product of those two colors mixed

red color doesn't really make sense, looks like its trying to look like the communist soviet hammer and sickle, but very poorly.

Awesome! A refreshing change from Dr. Who and Firefly

finally shirt i can spill ketchup on and nobody will notice!

I love that everyone insults Facebook, but they probably all have accounts there lol

yay communism.

I really like this shirt, but I'm flat broke and sending to NZ is rather a pain. Good work and a good comparision. I like the red I don't understand why it should be blue?

lordgonchar said: Wasn't going to buy, but so many people not getting it makes me like it a little more. Might have to snag this one.

Totally feeling the same way... it might be worth getting just for that one or two out there who actually get it.

lol communistbook?

Duckyquack said: I really like this shirt, but I'm flat broke and sending to NZ is rather a pain. Good work and a good comparision. I like the red I don't understand why it should be blue?

Blue because it's the colour of FB but, obviously, it doesn't work with the design.
I find getting shipped to NZ to be pretty painless. Takes ages for TeeFury to ship but once it has it gets here in about 5 days on the slowest shipping option. I was very pleased.

+1 for communism :D

If that shirt were a facebook status...I'd like it.

I wanted to buy this at first because i like facebook, but then read comments and realized the true meaning of the shirt. It made me question why i liked facebook? i feel obligated to it, and thats mega lame. This tee changed my perspective. Well done man great tee
Dear tee fury,
keep up these solid picks from this week

I get it, and I kind of like it, but I don't think most other people will.

meow. The sidebar art is a lot cooler.

smuuuuuurf it Teefury, stop taking all my money. This shirt is genius.

If that was any color but obnoxious red I would get it.

Dear tee fury,

keep up these solid picks from this week

Thank you. And thanks to all other commenters and buyers. Feels like more tees will be coming from my desktop soon.

If I had facepalmed at these comments any harder, I'd have looked like something from a Troma movie.

Great shirt man.

johnnymillz said: why is this not blue? i like it though

Google "Constructivism"

Love the idea though I don't know if I'll get it, have to sleep on it!

Red? Really? I don't look good in red. I'd get it if it was black or blue.

"Man, Facebook bites! This'll show them..."

Reminds me of a political propaganda poster.

Someone please get these people to look up the Communist Fist.

bought! thanks from Turkey

Is that a penguin thumb?

It's a communism joke people. Get with the program.

Wow, it's a little sad how many heads this joke is going over.

The logo could be in black and white so that everyone could understand the relation with the flag of the teddybears (like the flag in the movie "Equilibrium"). Now it is more like some normal far east country's flag because of the stripes.

No offense!

agreed even more!

I meant the Germans in WW2.

alongtimeago said: I dont get it.

how can you not see the USSR symbolism? Its a reference to a dictatorship, and our dictator is the allknowing Facebook.

Nice concept! Although given the misunderstandings here on the site, I doubt many people in real life get it. Though it's easy enough to explain of course.
But it's cool and it looks great!

Haha, totally agree. I love it. Too bad I'm broke though. :(

I love it!

Absolutely !

now there's a statement about facebook I ... like. clever and a wee bit provocative ... great

Maybe in blue and gray people would get it more?

The stripes in the Sun are kinda Asian, not Russian, that's why it's confusing.

Kids...kids....kids.....please stop commenting on how this would look better in blue.

It is red for a particular reason. If it was any other colour the entire meaning of the design would change.

No offense!

This is meant to look like stereotypical Russian propaganda imagery (so eastern country flag is right). If by the first part you thought it should be black and white so it looks like a swastik, then no sorry that is off on the completely wrong track.

LOL, this is so clever!!

I don't get how people come to this page (which I do admit, I do) on a regular basis, but if they don't understand the design right away, they comment on how they don't get it rather than bother to read the explanation on the side. If you DID read the side text, and STILL don't understand, then you shouldn't comment and make yourself look stupid.

kdjslvgds said: Someone please get these people to look up the Communist Fist.

Exactly! The Constructivism art movement that came out of the Russian revolution in the early 20th century. Using geometric shapes to portray a message, as drawn by Georgii and Vladimir Stenberg. It influenced everything from the German art movement known as Bauhaus to album artwork from 80s bands Bronski Beat and The Communards to the look of the Playstation game series WipeOut.

In Soviet Russia, shirt likes you.

'Should be blue'? Ha!

Tell us a bit about this design.
The constructivist approach to the Like 'movement' is obviously a cynical expression of the culture dictated by Facebook.

If you simply read about the artist, you would realize that it's not a pro-facebook shirt.

Love it! Purchased!

google "russian constructivist" for help

700 hundred million Facebook users and somehow everyone here hates it? Someones too cool for school.

Awesome shirt! It's both subtle and hilarious

Although I do find it rather tragic that so many people don't get the joke :(

too bad myspace will be gone by the end of this year...

I love the design and think it's very clever (especially given that I don't do FB) but the number of people on this site who don't get it tell me that if I buy it people will think that I actually do like FB and that would be bad.

I think...backwards "K" would have helped people get the reference.

The shirt is red like communism is "red," like "like" and Facebook are being equated with forms of communism. Now that I've spelled all the cleverness straight out of the design, can we please move on?

My comrades, finally a shirt I get! :)

love the rocket in the side-art

schlosser said: love the rocket in the side-art

That's the ship from the PAH! game: http://ahhhpah.com

Nice use of elements from Soviet iconography to comment on Facebook's invasion of privacy and general tendency to take over people's lives.

I like it. It reminds me of the design style the Communists used during the twenties and thirties. Facebook and communism. Nice connection.

Well done.

Awesome anti-commie statement!

Indeed, it boggles me how many people are not reading the author's description or perhaps the dozen or so comments explaining the design.

There may be 700 million people via FB, but that doesn't mean everyone likes it or cares for it. I deleted my account a year ago and I haven't missed it since.

yeah it's amusing how many people are saying they don't like this shirt because they don't like facebook when it's clearly an anti-facebook shirt lol

Bravo for making such an amazing shirt. *headdesk* for America's youth.

lol awesome. yeah, a lot of people seem to be missing the point. the very first image that came to my mind was that of communist russia or red faction. this is brilliant.

spawn00x said: too bad myspace will be gone by the end of this year...

Facebook will die eventually too, which hinders the lasting appeal of designs like this.

In Soviet Russia, Facebook likes YOU.

since no one else wants to help the bewildered; red as in red (communist, soviets) red. maybe we're already there.

Simple but well drawn I see a Communist Lego hand...

I am surprised that the constructivism concept didn't include yellow instead of white for the thumbs up.

This is the perfect buy for people who do "Not Like" facebook. Propaganda designs win me over every time... that sounds sketchy, but you get what I am saying.

If so many people don't get it, maybe there IS something wrong with the design not being explicit enough? nuff said

Hilarious that nobody wants the shirt because they don't like facebook when that is exactly why you should buy this shirt!

It's sad when it's proven that this world is going to shh because nobody cares to learn anymore.

I get it! This is funny. Good job.

RED...

Red Shirts Rule.

GatsbyGal said: Wow, it's a little sad how many heads this joke is going over.

I think maybe because it's a little too late, or too early depending, for some peoples minds. :o)

well, I do "like" Japan.

I freakin LOVE your avatar!!!!

I like to use facebook, but buying/wearing facebook realated merchandise isn't for me.

I'll just leave these here...







We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

why not a "dislike" thumbs down. blue ?

Andy_Lau said: If so many people don't get it, maybe there IS something wrong with the design not being explicit enough? nuff said

^ this

I don't think the designer is a fan of facebook either. He's comparing it to a totalitarian government.

Mad_Klingon said: Simple but well drawn I see a Communist Lego hand...

all i can see is lego hand now

I wish I could have seen all the comments saying the same thing I said before posting.

Look at the font, folks. Remind you of anything? Cyrillic, maybe? ;)

Sold! Very nice concept.
In Soviet Russia, Facebook likes YOU!

Facebook is Communist?

How narcissistic must one be to assume their own ignorance reveals some kind of flaw in the design...

Robotika said: Very well executed. I can't believe how many people don't understand it though.

Right, hilarious.
The red, as well as the text and background are to evoke communist propaganda. This shirt is FOR people who hate facebook.

How is he in any way ignorant? He never included himself in the statement he made about people not getting the design. It seems to me like he knows what message the design is supposed to convey, it just isn't conveyed as well as it could be...

The evil facebook empire:) LOVE it...

Why don't you people just explain it to the ones that don't understand it, instead of making snooty comments. I may be wrong, but I interpret the design as socialism satire.

I retract my previous comment as I suddenly see that people have already explained it. I stand corrected.

Considering how many people have to be told what the shirt means, it seems like this design sort of fails. Besides, red isn't the color of hate, it's the color of rage. Just ask Atrocitus.

As much as I love this design, sadly I think it may be misinterpreted, as demonstrated by a lot of the commenters here... :V

Love it!!!

AMIDOINITRIGHT?

"like"

wow yeah I can't believe how many people don't get it. kinda makes me want it more. too bad I don't have the dough.

All the ironic likes on this tee is making me smile :)

This shirt is a riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside a enigma.

an enigma, even*

hagopiane said: Sold! Very nice concept.

In Soviet Russia, Facebook likes YOU!

Ironically, this is one where the reversal is not mutual. In the West, Facebook likes you, too.

Mutually exclusive*

I can't tell if people not getting it is a good thing or a bad thing. On the one hand I could use it to snag unsuspecting passers-by into political discussions (one of my favorite pasttimes), but on the other hand they may simply misinterpret it in a plethora of ways. So in my redneck, country-ass town I become known as the local Commie sympathizer because some halfwit inreeder can't follow the ideas far enough to get the joke... It's a tough decision.

Love the concept. But the design makes me think that I Like to eat grapefruit

Wonderful, simplistic design with a very smart message. Well executed . . . but unfortunately misunderstood by the masses. I long for internet people to stop and think once in a while before hopping onto forums and saying "i don't get it" . . . really? that's all you've got to contribute?

Sad.

Soviet Facebook XD

Two things I "like" so much...communism and facebook. Just bought two! Well done.

edmundothe said: This shirt is a riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside a enigma.

Woah, a commie shirt and a strangers with candy reference in one day...my head might explode with happiness any second...

LIKE

very cool. so in touch with the era. :D
would have made more sense in blue though

so buying this one just cuz its obscure and not understood by most people, once again i say brilliant, look what you have done to these commenters, WELL DONE

is a tough decision. great idea but i wouldn't want the masses interpreting that i'm some super facebook turd, as i see now would be very possible. although it might start a few fights, maybe i should consider it further.

I wish this site had a LIKE button - then I would "like" the comment puffyou03 made ;)

In soviet Russia, Facebook 'likes' you!

chilltown38 said: Dont get it?

Facebook Like Status (Communist propaganda style)

This shirt is the wrong color.

In soviet russia, facebook "like" you!

Some of these comments make me worry for America's youth- and I'm part of it. I understood the meaning of the shirt immediately, and it was confirmed when I read the designer's side text. If you don't understand, ask. That's how we learn and grow. But don’t allow yourself to be in a state of ignorance.

/moralistic rant.

Oh, and awesome design. I agree with the other commenters. It's nice to see a "smart" shirt on here.

Is hating facebook the new hipster trend? I'm not referring to the shirt but to the comments, because they don't like the shirt because they don't like Facebook, but then they obviously don't get the meaning of the shirt. smuuuuuurf hipsters.

Would have been better if it was blue.

chilltown38 said: Dont get it?

Reminscent of old Soviet-era propaganda posters (at least for me). In Russia, shirt likes you!

justinjones said: wow! it seems everyone is missing the whole point of it being "red", excellent design, one of the more intelligent tees i have ever seen on here...

You're not kidding! clearly people do not read the side descriptions.

Buy it.

Need to stoooooooop : (

^^

Hahahaha...this is really clever, but i do hope they bring out a good harry potter one before the movie premiere :) i missed out on the last 'team gryffindor' one which im really gutted about :(

That is FREAKING HILARIOUS!

Doesn't it remind anyone of the Hammer and Sickle design, and it's red, and it is backlit with sunrays?

people who see this as a facebook shirt vs being a statement ABOUT facebook are probably just too young and too far removed from the relevance of the former soviet union. they honestly see facebook when they see this design because, on their scale of relevancy, facebook is far more heavily weighted than the former soviet union. people a little older still remember what it means and so hold more weight on that side of their scale of relevancy. they see it as a statement ABOUT facebook, not a facebook shirt. it's just an age thing.

on the design itself: flawless victory!

would if it was blue instead of red.

Ummm...is everyone missing the fact that this is a shirt for Japan? Its red and behind the hand is one of the Japanese flags. So it means you "like" Japan.

It's almost gone...
It's almost gone...
It's almost gone...
You know what the shirt is saying - wear it and pass it on!

"...in the eye of the beholder"

Love the Russian propaganda design. Well done. Not a fan of wearing red but definitely a cool shirt.

Actually I think people not getting it is part of why this shirt is so awesome. When people look at it and think "Facebook shirt! Facebook is brilliant" it's funny and when people look at it and think "Ugh, Facebook shirt. I hate Facebook" it's simply hilarious. Personally I don't really like or dislike Facebook but I'm happy to wear this shirt and be mistaken for someone who loves it because that just makes the joke funnier

not for me, but i love the idea. it cracks me up how there are so many comments by people who really don't get what this shirt means...gotta love people who don't get historical references.

JakeFlo said: cool design but i hate facebook, sowy not a buy

but thats the point....facebook is dominating...

not for me - i do enjoy the joystick/controller side art though

It's a cool design but not really my style.

Seriously guys...

Communism + Facebook = This tee

One has got to imagine that if he actually used the blue color he'd set himself up for possible lawsuit- or at least some trouble.. I also like it because it reminds me of a play on all the socialism/communism bs being swatted about in politics.Perhaps it is the font and color scheme.

In Soviet Russia, facebook like you!

This shirt is approved by the People's Popular Clothing Movement!

ITS LIKE RED FACTION BUT FACEBOOK

alongtimeago said: I dont get it.

Facebook, hello!

The only reason I would not get this, because very obviously people wouldn't understand it. They would just say "HUR DUR, that guy likes facebook!"

Why red?
