I want to take a minute to tell you about BustedTees. The dudes over at CollegeHumor set up this site as a depot for funny shirts back in 2004 and they have been putting out the most awesome designs you're gonna find on the Internets.It doesn't matter if youíre into video games, movies, geography, politics, science-fiction or just wrapping your torso with something weird, BustedTees literally has you covered. Theyíre the coolest items of clothing since windbreakers were invented. (sotto:) Windbreakers are cool, right?

And they're printed in the good ol' USA on high-quality super-soft materials in a sweatshop-free environment, so you won't be plagued with guilt when you order them, which is, you know, always a plus.
