Artist's Comments

This is a new t-shirt design I made to sell at the ED store. Jack Thompson, the anti-videogame lawyer, has infamously dubbed violent videogames as "Murder Simulators." When we first heard this, Yuji and I called every game we played a murder simulator, because the term he created to make videogames sound evil just made them sound more awesome. The current controversy over Grand Theft Auto : San Andreas reminded me of Yuji and I's adoption of the phrase, and I mentioned it to Razlo. We decided that it would make for an awesome shirt. And I think it did.

Unfortunately, the Zazzle store we use to make all of our ED and BU shirts took the design down. Apparantly, they have a content rating system, and Razlo submitted it with an improper rating, so they pulled the design from their store. Which I was pissed about... but then I thought about it, and it's kind of funny, considering the GTA:SA rating controversy.

We hope to have it up and available for purchase again soon.

UPDATE! Shirt is now available! Get it here! [link]

Haha! That's awesome! :D I would so buy a shirt like that.

I heard about that lawyer.. Poor fellow, has nothing else better to do except bashing on videogames. He needs to get a life, really. There's a lot more important stuff going on in the world today besides suing a videogame. Geez.

Oh my, sorry about my mini-rant xD;; Haha.

It's up there because apparantly Zazzle has some sort of weird policy that makes anything other the "G" rated shirts unable to viewed unless you sign up for their site. So, it's for sale at cafepress, now.
