Filed under: Humor, Cult of Mac, Odds and ends
I know, I know. This isn't hard news, but this Jesus Saves shirt from MacMerc is too funny not to share. How can you put a price on humor? Well, MacMerc.com can, so this shirt will run you $16.90. They also introduced an Apple Innovates, Microsoft Imitates shirt which is clever.Want to drag a file to another folder and copy it instead of moving it?

Take out the 's and it's arguably funnier and more disturbing.

Meh. Would rather not buy a shirt that lists their website so predominately on the back.

Well, if you buy the shirt, people won't ask where you bought it, they'll just read the freakishly large promotion for the website on the back! A win-win?

Sorry about the size of the logo on the back, folks. The artwork I submitted to Spreadshirt was only 3 inches wide, but I guess the process they use requires a minimum art element size and when it was put in the system it had been enlarged by the boys at Spreadshirt to the size you see there.
I guess I could take the logo off entirely, but it would be nice if there was some tasteful way of pointing back to the source of the shirt.

Mr Pedantic says, "there's no apostrophe in 'saves'.

Shouldn't it be "Jesus Ss" without the apostrophe? I don't think the save is posessing anything (though I'm not entirely up on my metaphysics).

yeah, there should not be an apostrophe.

It was originally designed without the apostrophe, but it was even more difficult to decipher the meaning. Also, I expected to be offending a few Christians as well as a few Atheists--I didn't want to leave the Grammarians and Typographers out of the fun.

I would purchase it in a heartbeat... if it didnt have anything on the back. Maybe a very small, tasteful text URL beneath the phrase in Myriad or Lucida. Otherwise, no.

Immediate buy from me as well -- if that logo wasn't junking up the back.
I'd be happy to tell people where I got my shirt. I already answer the question all the time with "Threadless.com."

Rick-
I am infact one of the Christians you expected to offend.. but I'm thinking of buying one of these shirts myself. :) Nice work!

I agree with Justin, I'm a Christian and I think its a cool shirt. I'm getting the no-logo version.

I read this as "Jesus COMMANDs" when i first saw it. Which i think is funnier.
now someone should do a line drawing caricature of Steve Jobs and make a "Steve Jobs is my homeboy" shirt.

The now defunct MacSurfShop actually had a "Steve Jobs is my homeboy" T-Shirt

Rick Yaeger said 1:23PM on 8-18-2006
...and I too am a Christian, but I am aware that some people are just looking for things to be offended about--on all sides of any issue.
oh, and, as mentioned above, non-MacMerc.com branded shirts are now available.

What do you mean some people are just looking for something to be offended about!?! I think that's absolutely rediculous! Unfathomable!

Rob said 4:44PM on 8-18-2006
Rick,
Having the website url on one of the sleeves in smallish lettering is entirely permissible and actually very trendy these days.

READ MY TEXT: I have no problem with having the logo small on the back--that is how I supplied the logo to Spreadshirt--they enlarged it.
