T-shirt support

I previously wrote about my support for and enjoyment of The Sound of Young America. With Adam Carolla's new podcast clocking in at under an hour (although I'm just happy his nasally drone is still entering my skull on a daily basis), I had to find another show to bridge the gap in my drive-time. In fact, I found two weekly shows: The B.S. Report with Bill Simmons, which is nominally about sports, although when he gets people like the Mad Men guy, and Jimmy Kimmel, and Joel McHale, I'm down with that; and Jordan, Jesse, Go! from the makers of TSOYA.

In truth, I've been listening to a LOT of JJG. So much so that I'm seriously considering buying the "best of" album from 'The Free Design', whose song (Love You) serves as the podcast's theme music. It's bizarrely soothing.

So here's my conundrum: for one week only, a JJG t-shirt is on sale. I like the show... but do I like it enough to want to wear its t-shirt? I mean, it's cool to hear Jesse Thorn, America's Radio Sweetheart, say "fuck" on a regular basis, since he has such a good radio voice. (I now get to hear Adam Carolla say "fuck" as well, but again, in his standard nasally drone.) But I'm not sure that particular aspect of my enjoyment would be suitably reflected in the t-shirt design.

Besides, for that kind of quan, I could get a pretty awesome Wil Wheaton-designed t-shirt from shirt.woot. Although, does Wil Wheaton really need my cash? Between Stand by Me and Toy Soldiers, he must be living large off of residual checks. Not to mention V/O work from The Secret of NIMH, which if you ask me is an insanely underrated animated flick.

So, in the spirit of JJG's action items, here's one for you, dear readers: take a look at the t-shirts, and tell me which one you'd rather see me in. Or should I be the first person ever to get a This Man Must Be Stopped t-shirt? Dark horse entry in the t-shirt race!

And someone get me NIMH on DVD.

D) None of the above

I feel like there's been a lot of comment-based acrimony lately. From one reader in particular, who I won't name.
