It's less outrageous than the now-famous "I Hate Jack Thompson" t-shirt.
Yet gamers can make their statement - and give back to charity - with a Pixelante t-shirt.
Veteran GamePolitics readers know that Jack Thompson coined the term "pixelante" right here on GP's comments pages to describe gamers in a negative way - i.e. that their lives are ruled by pixels on a screen.
In a nice touch, all proceeds from the shirt will be donated by designer Straight Loop to Child's Play. Thanks to Kotaku for alerting us to the existence of the t-shirt. It was only a matter of time. We've even seen some GP readers kicking the idea around.
The following comments are strictly a matter of fashion sense, of course - something for which GP has never been known - but we don't believe this is the definitive pixelante shirt. It's a little, shall we say, androgynous. Could we see it in black, perhaps?
Also, GP thinks that more could be done with the lettering. Different color, beefier font, something a little Gothic, maybe? The word pixelante itself is a bit delicate. Some big nasty letters would toughen it up. And how about a saying - "Pixelante and Proud" or "Pixelante Patrol"? Maybe even a graphic?
I'm just sayin'
