I had that idea last year. I had him urinating on B&M though. Looked awesome, but got shot down =( (supposedly potential copyright issues)

How can you get a T-shirt? Starting Oct. 1, post a Hot Deal topic in our "2009 Hot Deals for Black Friday T-shirts Promotion" until all the Black Friday T-shirts we print up are claimed. Rules and other fun details will follow. Stay tuned!
Here's my submission, I'm pretty sure I can submit through here..

MIGHT I suggest that FW also allow users/members to BUY a winning shirt, should they want?
Some of us might actually consider PAYING for the right to advertise the site to others in our area... and some may like the winning shirt so much we want to buy 3, or 4, or 10 to give to friends/family!
*PS, DO I get a free winning shirt (or 3) for offering the suggestion? FW makes a buck off everybody that buys one, plus you get a printing discount for BUYING more shirts, and everyone is happy!*
Lets make it easy... if this response gets 100 GREEN, then you offer the winning shirt for sale...
Anyway, this year I hope designers will create a ritzy money themed shirt or something representing the accumilation of golden wealth rather than a dark Halloween design.
I don't have the time or the creative talent, but I think some sort of shirt with Kanye interrupting and saying that Black Friday 2002 was much better is in order.
Thanks for the idea to sell the shirts to those who may want to buy one. I will bring this up for discussion and investigate what it would take to creat some sort of eCommerce area to purchase, or perhaps it could be made available with a Cash Back purchase? Stay tuned...!
