alexmdc on Nov. 18, 2010 at 18:10:39 Alumni nice concept

scibeck on Nov. 18, 2010 at 18:15:54 Excellent! How did you use this to protest?

mcmarcg on Nov. 18, 2010 at 18:57:49 Oh I get it now.... This is an awesome concept. Did you happen to see the skit on Conan, the TSA one? It's hilarious. Nice job.

Morkki on Nov. 18, 2010 at 22:11:38 Alumni Execution could be better but 5$ for the concept

Ivantobealone on Nov. 23, 2010 at 10:33:25 Alumni Congratulations!! I believe this is a first, printed and still the running. Clever design!

SJ27 on Nov. 23, 2010 at 10:37:37 3KCM all over again. Fucking bullshit.

supakid on Nov. 23, 2010 at 10:54:20 wow! congrats on the print!

opifan64 on Nov. 23, 2010 at 11:07:39 Alumni really fantastic idea/mash-up. congrats!

lliivvaa on Nov. 23, 2010 at 11:15:31 hi hi hiii

Bio-bot 9000 on Nov. 23, 2010 at 11:29:45 Alumni oh wow!

murraymullet on Nov. 23, 2010 at 11:37:57 Alumni The statue of liberty is much more fit then I imagined, not that I was dreaming about the statue or anything... $5

evolveORdie on Nov. 23, 2010 at 11:50:50 awesome shirt! hmmmm.. has been in the running for 4 days. takes that long to print the shirts. So either they saw it on his website and asked him to submit it, or it was literally approved the second it came in. I'm going with the former seeing as he just joined and this is his first submission. If this is true, then it's a bit fishy, hey it's your company, Threadless, but at least be upfront about it. So was it it an honest-to-god submission or curated?? http://davidvincentwolf.com/notes/22611-land-of-the-free 13th november

Montro on Nov. 23, 2010 at 11:53:57 Alumni fuck TSA $5

staffell on Nov. 23, 2010 at 11:57:05 Alumni what the hell?

staffell on Nov. 23, 2010 at 12:06:17 Alumni Aside from the fact that I find it weird the shirt is already on sale before scoring has finished, I feel this shirt belongs on bustedtees/snorgtees, not Threadless. I know the topic is extremely sensitive at the moment, but it will pass. Goddamn current affair-themed designs! Boooo Threadless.

EricDiaz on Nov. 23, 2010 at 12:24:27 oh man...

wytrab8 on Nov. 23, 2010 at 12:24:38 Alumni I'm with Montro

ben chen on Nov. 23, 2010 at 12:52:15 Alumni nice

AdderXYU on Nov. 23, 2010 at 12:57:04 Art should be timeless, not timely. At least 3KCM had huge comments and score. This is just unsettling and wrong that this should skip scoring altogether.

bcrider on Nov. 23, 2010 at 13:13:22 Man. I was kinda hoping I'd just missed the scoring on this, but I really want this shirt.

Zen Studio on Nov. 23, 2010 at 13:54:51 wow it printed already!!!!!! congrats!!

mangobajito on Nov. 23, 2010 at 14:26:03 Alumni This is brilliant!! I'm glad it's printed :)

Tikimasters on Nov. 23, 2010 at 15:15:37 Alumni Good job dude

Vampiro Macerado on Nov. 23, 2010 at 15:20:58 congrats, this design has been chosen very great design

dampa on Nov. 23, 2010 at 16:56:55 Alumni congrats!

Swizzzay on Nov. 23, 2010 at 19:12:34 Congrats. Great print!

Gar0 on Nov. 23, 2010 at 21:16:05 Alumni Fresh

bottleHeD on Nov. 23, 2010 at 23:00:56 Why is it still in scoring anyway? Even without the option to score it..

evolveORdie on Nov. 24, 2010 at 01:52:01 probably that's just the way the software works... this is (i think) the first shirt to ever be printed before the 7 days were up.

ginetteginette on Nov. 24, 2010 at 04:36:51 Alumni well I think it's a good pick. yall know scores don't matter and threadless will print what they like. nbd that they knew they wanted to print it regardless of the score. democracy here is an illusion anyway. i wish they showed that kind of confidence more often.

skitchism on Nov. 24, 2010 at 04:49:55 Alumni congrats!!!!!!!

yetitutu on Nov. 24, 2010 at 05:45:41 heheheeh I like how direct forward Threadless is about printing. Nice concept btw! Congrats!

ginetteginette on Nov. 24, 2010 at 05:47:27 Alumni Michael Chertoff, while he was the Head of Homeland Security under Bush, advocated and pushed for installation and implementation of these new full-body scanners at our airports. Once he was out of "public service", Chertoff's consulting company (Read: Lobbying Company) landed as a client (Surprise!), Rapiscan, the company that makes the scanners.

mikeangell on Nov. 24, 2010 at 06:10:47 This is AMAZING! $5!!!!

r.o.b.o.t.i.c.octopus on Nov. 24, 2010 at 07:42:15 Alumni but what does this have to do with France?

Cy-Co on Nov. 24, 2010 at 08:05:18 This design has be printed even before the voting finished? How does that happen? Guess Threadless just wants to sell shirts on a hot topic while it's still in the media. Nice concept on the current TSA screening procedures issue.

bksteve on Nov. 24, 2010 at 09:58:06 If the rating for this item is done.. and I filtered by designs that have not been rated.. then wtf.. does this keep popping up? I'm an angry panda.

CazKing on Nov. 24, 2010 at 10:52:45 Alumni This is awesome! Obviously timing this with the new laws that just came into play or something along those llines (i'm not so up with current affairs but totally get it at the same time!) Perfect timing threadless - and who cares if it is still up for scoring! I don't get why people are getting upset about this? Love controversy - love this.

chippos on Nov. 24, 2010 at 13:12:47 Alumni INTERESTING MESSAGE THREADLESS.

isawa on Nov. 24, 2010 at 13:26:55 Wow printed and still in scoring, interesting :)

A92Crew on Nov. 24, 2010 at 15:08:43 PRINTING DESIGN THAT IS STILL IN RUNNING JUST PROVES FREEDOM (LAND OF THE FREE)! SWEET!!!!

AdderXYU on Nov. 24, 2010 at 15:48:51 Art can't be timeless. It can only be relevant for a short or long period of time, and this is hugely relevant! It is a bold statement of cultural production and I'm refreshed to see real art on a T-shirt (no offense to pretty and clever things, I love them too). It skipped scoring exactly because art is timely. Every bit of it that has had an impact in our world coincided with perfect timing. This is an incredibly ludicrous comment. If this was remotely true, no museum on earth would feature work older than a decade. Art matters because people appreciate what makes it creative and worthwhile throughout demographics and even time periods. Sometimes the history plays a role in its importance, but the artistry is not fixed in a moment in time. Of course, given the incredible fizzle that the overhyped "opt out" day brought, it is questionable if this topic is even timely, let alone timeless.

makettle on Nov. 24, 2010 at 15:54:43 Wow!!! Way to go! Topical and clever! And if anyone had subbed something like this and Threadless said we want to print this now.........wonder how many people would say ...no wait 'til we see what score it gets!! =)

opifan64 on Nov. 24, 2010 at 15:55:58 Alumni I think the greater message is larger than just the "opt out" day... it's a powerful statement about how much liberty citizens are willing to concede for the sake of security. I suspect that's an issue that's going to have relevance for many years going forward and may even be one of the defining issues of our time.

opifan64 on Nov. 24, 2010 at 16:03:03 Alumni Also, art can be both topical and timeless... The Third of May and Guernica both come to mind. More importantly.... it's just a t-shirt!

jmeaspls on Nov. 25, 2010 at 05:31:21 Alumni oh threadless

SpencerG on Nov. 25, 2010 at 07:20:42 wait so this is still in the running and doesnt have a final score.. but its been printed.. the artist must be pretty flattered, grats!

ANCU on Nov. 25, 2010 at 08:40:37 Congrats! :)

speakerine on Nov. 25, 2010 at 10:01:20 Alumni cool!

eQuivalent on Nov. 25, 2010 at 15:07:01 Alumni clever

Skap 1er on Nov. 25, 2010 at 15:49:43 cool shirt, but i don't get why people are so outraged about safer flying

CazKing on Nov. 30, 2010 at 11:13:54 Alumni 2.25? underscored!!!! I think some people may have underscored this coz they were miffed it was already gettin printed while still scoring? I'll say it again - brilliant concept!

queenmob on Dec. 3, 2010 at 10:34:48 Alumni congrats!
