The official ASSME “Yes, We Canned” T-Shirt is now available! Sporting an original design by the brilliant if unassuming Michael Shea (and the now-classic ASSME logo by John Sheppard on the back), this first-ever ASSME T-shirt perfectly captures the current media-industry mood, in which we’re all doing this delicate pirouette along a knife’s edge between elation and despair, humor and utter dread. Might it become a collectors’ item? Probably! So get two—one to wear and another to seal in a Ziploc bag and hide under your bed for 30 years, at which point this shirt will be the wearable equivalent of an original Dorothea Lange or Walker Evans print, evoking with a sudden, overwhelming rush of nostalgia the sad history of today’s digital dustbowl.
The ASSME “Yes, We Canned” T-Shirt is a screen-printed, 100% cotton navy blue tee, available in small, medium, large and extra large. Supplies are extremely limited. Which isn’t to say we won’t make more someday, but we also might get distracted with other things. Ten percent of any profits will go to 826 National, the nonprofit tutoring program. Because much as we like to make fun of group founder Dave Eggers, let’s face it—these kids may well be the unemployed media elites of tomorrow….
