About my design

by voyetra8   
Lady Liberty gets the TSA "backscatter" treatment. This image was created to protest the recently enacted and maximally-invasive TSA screening procedures.

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.

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??

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.

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.

Man. I was kinda hoping I'd just missed the scoring on this, but I really want this shirt.

In respons to AdderXYU:

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.

Why is it still in scoring anyway? Even without the option to score it..

evolveORdie on Nov 24 '10
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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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
   opifan64 on Nov 24 '10
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
   opifan64 on Nov 24 '10
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!
