What the hell am I going to do with all these shirts?
As you may remember- our recent batch of t-shirts got pulled from our fulfillment company. I think we managed to violate the copyright of YouTube and the Buggles at the same time. ;-)
So now we have all of these shirts laying around.
If only I knew of some deserving people who would appreciate them ...

So here's the deal. We want to say thanks to the prominent Sifters who have made VideoSift what it is today. I'll be sending shirts to everyone on the Top 15 as it reads at midnight December 1st.
The rest of the shirts will be used as awards for meritorious service to the Sift and prizes for upcoming community competitions.
We will have another go at t-shirts, but there will never be another set like these limited edition ones. They've destroyed the screen and this is it. (You might want to just wrap it in plastic an bequeath it to your grandchildren )

AWESOME!!!
What do we have to do to get the kid?
....ask politely?
I can plz has Tee?
You are lucky to live in a climate where you can flash it for the next few months! Any chance of a VideoSift downjacket being released any time soon for the northern hemisphere? We are freezing up here! (I guess you could always win 20 competitions and go for the onion layer look)
Since I guess you can´t sell them for legal reasons, what about setting up a chritmas fundraiser thingy (to buy new servers of course!) and sending them out as a sign of appreciation for the received donations? Or at least a few of them and keep a few reserved for competitions?
Damn that's a lot of shirts!
I'd love to be able to get a VS hoody someday, especially for the winter.
*QUALITY!!!
I'd gladly pay for one, but like maatc said - you can't sell em. I think he has a really good idea there.
And Issykitty deserves one for a very well-placed lolcat line.
If you got any xtra small sized shirts... I'd be happy to give em a home... and wear their blatant copyright infringement proudly.
ehm, I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure there's no infringment of any sort here.
it's called parody.
YAY!!!
[sifts furiously to maintain position]
WOOT!!! I second that *QUALITY!
Hey, is that a dagling in the chair? And Persephone legs in the background? Nice vid, but needs more Houston.
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
Houstons are notoriously camera-shy and elusive. Well ... some are, I should say.
Oooo I'm gonna find me a sweet vid so's I can get a t-shirt!
Damn....sixteen.
Guess I can just live with sweet.....
How many shirts are there? If there are enough, you could let the top 15 select other deserving sifters of their choices.
Yay! Dag you are fab! I better start back to posting so no one bumps me off the list. ::::eyes Arvana:::
You know Dag just for fun, you should try and auction one on ebay just for fun. See what happens....
p.s. coffee mug
Good idea as well Fjnbk, but I´d love to see something as well where it is not so much based on sympathy, that way new sifters get a shot at them, too.
Some way to earn them, through a competition or a completed task.
And about the donation idea: I would happily empty my piggy bank for one of these fine garments...
Edit: I say reserve one shirt for the first person that creates a VideoSift mug!!!

Lucky suggested a "new sifter of the month" feature wherein we could nominate and discuss who to award a tee to.
I nominate you! No, wait, you already have a 100 shirts...

Yeah no shortage of shirts here. The Houston family has its own uniform now - and I don't need to worry about what to wear when I wake up.
yeah the sifter of the months sounds good, or anything that is repeated once a month.
the shirts are enough anyway
How about the top 27? Check it out: Choggie, karaidl, raven, joedirt . . . among illustrious others. Might I add . . . Dag?
ahh you should have used the Wrong Trousers version of the song... I first heard them here on VS!
oh yeah, I forgot to mention; I make cloth diapers and my "schtick" is covering them with old t-shirts (I figure old 80s concert Ts are gonna be my biggest seller) so iffen you'd like, you could send me shirts and I will make them into pocket dipes. (A pocket diaper is equivalent to a disposable except it requires you to put a cloth insert inside it, hence the pocket) I can also make it into a regular fitted diaper for those who prefer to use their own waterproof covers but they will last longer as a pocket because they won't get waste fluids directly on them.
Those shirts are suh-weet. Awesome bad time for me to slide off the Sift-radar!
OMG I want one so bad, lol. Also, awesome song there. Video Killed the Radio Star, and any cover thereof, is amazing in my book.
whoa.....smibbo can sew!!!....Take a lesson from someone with a practical skill, goils....I predict: the second will be 1/2 disposable, and the third will wear only Huggies!!!! (and when you get a batch a shirts, I have a 32 waist)
Australian intelligence agency has decided to monitor anti-war posters in the US and share intelligence with their "legal" foreign internet monitoring program (aka VideoSift). Please send your address in exchange for a t-shirt.

^OMG I've been Plamed. For the record ASIO are almost as nasty as the CIA.
My suggestion was to have the sifters pick an international charity (amnesty international for example) Then start a donation drive here on the sift, first 100 to donate get a free Tshirt.
Tis the season, I bet the community could raise quite a few bucks.
Very good idea. A non selfish donation. Even better!
Amnesty is a good idea.
I would also like to suggest Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without borders) as a worthy recipient.
http://www.msf.org/
both good ideas.
but, remember that VS needs money to run, so I think it might be inappropriate to collect money for others, even if totally worthy.
using shirts as monthly rewards for top sifters that did something, looks like a better idea to me.
Woohoo? Liberals?
Is it me or did that say "BANNED" on the shirt? It's hard to read what the shirts said? Can we get a clear photograph of it?
Thank you in advance.
Dang, it's December 2 and i forgot to present those 476 videos I have in stock waiting to get me to the top 15. <.<
Should've sprung for a charter membership.
