Anger Is the Swiss Army Knife of Emotions T-shirt
So here's the deal: I'm an idiot. When this shirt idea came to me it was with the word "ANGER" in the knife. Yesterday as I was laying it out a neuron misfired and I typed "HATE" instead. I can't get behind that. Hate is ugly. Anger; a bit more complicated and can sometimes be used for good. That's what I was going for. I replaced the image and the correct shirt, with "ANGER" in the knife is now for sale.
We don't need any more hate, but there's plenty to be angry about.

Can you make a nice, soft passive-aggressive carrying case for them?

It's for sale now, bitches.

Changed it from "HATE" to "ANGER". See explanation above. It's laborious.

Uh oh, you'll want to avoid any "commercial" use of Flickr, or you just may anger the Flickroonies and get your account deleted. That "sale" link is a Community Guidelines violation.
Mike Monteiro (52 months ago | reply)
OMG! Thanks, van swearingen! I had no idea! I really appreciate you policing the site for us.
I also just realized I never flagged it as an illustration. OMG, it's like anarchy in here. We're minutes away from someone sticking their dick in the potato salad.

I'm going to stop selling the shirt just out of spite now.
Van in LA (52 months ago | reply)
You need to stop selling the shirt on Flickr because Flickr is not a 'sales' site.
You can be as snarky as you want. I don't really care because it's not my problem if you don't abide by the terms of service and are willing to risk account deletion. Up to you.
I was just offering you a friendly 'heads-up'. If you want to get nasty, then I'll be happy to report you for a TOS violation.
Mike Monteiro (52 months ago | reply)
You have an aggressive way of "not caring", dude. Leave it be.
Van in LA (52 months ago | reply)
I don't care if you're snarky. I do care that you need to remove that sales link.
Mike Monteiro (52 months ago | reply)
WHY do you care? Is it affecting you in some way?
Van in LA (52 months ago | reply)
Yes. Flickr is not a commercial website - and I do not want to see sales links. The community guidelines specifically state "no sales". You might want to read them.
Pages reported to Flickr for TOS violation.
Don’t use Flickr for commercial purposes.
Flickr is for personal use only. If we find you selling products, services, or yourself through your photostream, we will terminate your account.

@van swearingen - I'm so glad that you're getting the joke about the anger! This is just the sort of interaction that fuels Mike on and makes the internet a fun place to be.
We're all friends here, so if you really think you need to file a TOS complaint, that's totally within your rights as one of the Flickr community members. I don't really think it's worth it, honestly. I hope you'll reconsider, though, because an open dialogue will always get us all further in this crazy mixed-up world.
Also, your photos are wonderful! :) Congrats on your well-deserved success.

Sparklecorn, I want to violate YOUR terms of service.
Nick Douglas (52 months ago | reply)
Flickr is a site for photos, not MySpace "Bling." Please remove the sparklecorn or I will report you to Tom.

Wearing this shirt to my soul sucking corporate job will reinvigorate the whole damn place! Everyone can get behind anger.
This could be what turns around the economy.
(Hold on... 4 big ones for S&H! Now *that* makes me ANGRY! Which makes me want the shirt more... which makes me ANGRY! etc. I think you've hit on something here)
