Say whatever you will about me, but I'm sure this is what Jeff had in mind when he and his brother made this shirt for their deceased friend...

    Those with VIP passes are such respectful people.

    I'm confused. Only VIPs were allowed to buy the shirt? Or friends and family? Not being a douche, I just don't understand... clarification, por favor?

    (to quote another thread re scalpers)

    "Could be paying his mortgage with that money
    Could be buying groceries for his children
    Could be paying for a bone marrow transplant for his 3yr old daughter...."

    :roll:

    ....and I don't believe that to be true in this case either. Just a quick buck. 8-)

    the problem isn't so much the guy selling it, it's that there are a bunch of idiots out there who will bid on it and they are the ones who create the market for this kind of thing, not the seller.

    Like bombs and missiles too, there are people who will be attacked by them, so it's their fault for people making the weapons.

    From what the ebay listing says, I think the shirts were given to friends and family... VIP passes are also regularly issued to friends & family.

    Hence the 2 + 2 = 5

    that is the dumbest thing ever written in the history of the internet. just a dumb, dumb analogy.

    again, it's basic economics - supply and demand. if there is no demand, there is no market, and no supply. the guy is selling it b/c he knows idiots will pay good money for it.

    bombs are dropped on people who have ZERO control over where the bombs are dropped. in a buyer/seller relationship, the buyer has control over whether or not to be involved in the transaction.

    What if someone sells missles to a buyer and then they're dropped on their head? :o :? :P
