Here's the deal: We won't be printing a Charlie Sheen shirt.
It's not a decision we make lightly, as this is something we're gotten a lot of requests (and many art submissions) about. Sheen's recent media blitz has certainly spawned some very t-shirtable phrases, too (Tiger Blood!).
But at the end of the day, printing a Sheen shirt is not something we'd feel good about as a company. It feels like a celebration of negativity, and that's not what we want to be about. A lot of sites have jumped on the bandwagon already, so if that's what you're looking for, Google is your friend :) And artists, please feel free to try those designs elsewhere. We'll be sitting this one out, and hope you understand.
Did you see Craig Ferguson's monologue about Charlie Sheen last week? It kind of sums up a lot of our feelings on the matter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43-4CBQ2KYY

+1, teefury.
No, really. THANK YOU.
I appreciate being part of a site that understands when not to go media-crazy at every fad/random occurrence in the news.
I'm irritated beyond words that this man with innumerable addictions is being cashed in on, and since he's said a few wacky, quoteable things everyone has forgotten how abusive and destructive he is.
Cashing in on a man with numerous charges of violence against women and an obviously uncontrollable drug addiction is disgusting.
I'm still waiting for them to find out he has some massive brain tumor and that is why he's become so irrational but either way I am not a fan of all the hype and I'm glad to know that Teefury won't be trying to cash in on it.
THANK YOU!
I've created a shirt, but I like to think its purely positive.
For those of you looking for Sheentastic stuff... Alex Pardee has drawn a lovely Winning/Tiger Blood print that is up for sale.
ok I know it's the internet but let's not go overboard...lol
I'd have been fine with either decision. I'm pretty sure even an amateur CS tee would have done pancakes but it's cool TF isn't feeding the hype machine.
Hopefully we have more tees to support worldwide causes and disasters :)
FuzzyLogic!!!! its Gutter from the 'ol inkednation.com days.....whas up mah brotha!!!??
