Limited Edition Dtoid shirt: Ten bucks! photo

Love Destructoid and Also Cocks? Here's an opportunity to tell the world confuse the hell out of anyone that happens to walk past you. Your demented friends at Destructoid are professionally silkscreening a batch of shirts to hand out at upcoming events, so look for us and we'll give you one FREE while supplies last. 

For the rest of you that are land-locked in a shit job/college and never go to gaming events but want one, we can order you extra for Just $10 (plus shipping). They're high quality sweatshop-free uber comfortable combed-cotton shirts from American Apparel in Los Angeles, CA MFUSA.  "No CafePress crap!"  We'll also throw in some glossy Dtoid 3x3 stickers to vandalize property with.  SHIRTS ARE AVAILABLE IN SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, XL, AND WAFFLE HOUSE XXL. 

UPDATE: All sold out! The only way to get one now is to track us down and ask for one. We're in San Francisco March 5-9, Austin 10-11, and then back in Miami. Find us and harrass us! 

UPDATE!  SHIRT FAQs:
Thanks everyone for all the support, seems like I'm going to be doing a lot of shipping! Here's the most frequently asked questions answered below...

How do I order more than 1 without getting raped on shipping?

I have no idea, Paypal's system is confusing as hell.  Just order as many as you'd like and I'll immediately refund you 3 dollars immediately for each extra shirt purchased until we can figure it out.  Extra shirts are only $1 more to ship.

F*ck Paypal and I have no credit cards!

No prob, send us dollars (US currency please!) or checks and we'll hook it up. Make checks payable to Destructoid and include your shirt size

780 NE 69 St, suite 708
Miami, FL 33138

What if I have a fancy accent and want international shipping?

International cocks! Shipping is now available worldwide via Global Priority which is like $9.50 for a large envelope.  It works out to 7 Euros for shipping, so roughly 14 Euros altogether.  Bloody cheap!

I haven't gotten it yet!  Where the f*ck is my shirt? RAWR?

Chill, holmes. Email me at niero [at] destructoid.com for a status anytime. It typically takes 2-3 weeks to get the shirts out.  They are selling faster than we can ship them. What's wrong with you people? You've been reading Destructoid way too long. We love you.

What if I hate the shirt?

Well (A) You suck and (B) Just send it back for a full refund, no questions asked. But! If you wear it once, sweat in it, and send it back for a refund I will mail you back a picture of my balls instead. Be nice and don't abuse our awesome open store policies and humbling best-practice customer service skillz.

Shirts for extra fat and super f*ckin tall people?

We love you too.  Shirts are available in XL and XXL as well now.


OH NOES are you sold out?

Relax. We'll keep ordering them for everyone that wants one. When orders slow down we'll mark it sold out. We like the idea of limited edition shirts so people that didn't understand how impossibly cool this shirt is will regret passing on it for the rest of their lives.


Why isn't Summa wearing one?  Why isn't he inside of me?

At the time of this article we haven't seen the first batch yet, but we'll get photos of our editors in it soon. We also can't afford our own emasculated male models, so the picture up top is actually a temporary mockup. The ash-colored shirt says "Also Cocks" in tan and the little sliver in between says Destructoid. That's kind of the beauty of the shirt -- only people in the know will get it. Plus the fact that he's gesturing at a giant implied robopenis, hands fanning.


Can I send you a picture of me modelling it?

Of course!  Action shots are very appreciated and will be added to this page in a gallery. Send them in!!!  We'd love to see what you people look like (shifty eyes). Especially the ladies. Always the ladies.


What about my large, generous, bouncy breasts?

Women, please be warned that guys will get VERY close to your boobs to read the fine print on it, and that is what their good excuse will be. The shirts are cotton, and yes, they will squeeze and hug your breasts wonderfully. We made sure of this.


Where does my money go?

All profits are donated to The Workman Foundation for special chilluns. Ron spends countless hours working on the site for the love of it, so when you buy a shirt, you're paying for Ron's next Mountain Dew. Seriously that's all he eats, we think. A small portion of your money also goes towards the free shirts we give away, so you're also buying a free shirt for another gamer. Capitalism meets Socialism, only on Destructoid.

Nikole definitely has the right idea. I love this girl.

Destructoid gets the first batch of shirts next Tuesday, so figure a few days of shipping after that. I have to say that I wasn't expecting this many orders so give me a day or two extra to get the hang of this :)

ZOMG THANK YOU EVERYONE! I added an FAQ to the post

@Niero

I hope you haven't just now noticed that most of us have been itching to buy some Destructoid paraphernalia.

Any plans to sell some stickers or a more 'civil' shirt? I echo Fromagex.

Just messing with ya. This is actually our second shirt. Our first shirt was made back in April 2006 -- it was red with the robot face and destructoid on it. We'll do something similar like that next time, no prob

tazarthayoot,

Didn't the phrase initially come from a posting here about how the game Elebits was having a name-change in European territories supposedly because the phrase "Et les bits" (pronounced: 'E-Le-Bits') in French translates to "And the Cocks," or the shortened, "Also, cocks?"

Maybe ytmnd was the first the popularize the phrase after the Elebits thing and then Faith (I think it was her) posted it here?

I'm not sure of the specifics, but that's where I first saw it, and even posted something to the effect that I thought "Also, cocks" should be the official slogan of DToid.

Anyone else know the specifics? Faith?

Who's that sexy beast? Oh wait its just CTZ.

Regarding the shirt, I want one but have no means of purchasing it. I hope I can get one before it's gone.
DinnertimeNinja's Avatar - Comment posted on 02/27/2007 23:44
DinnertimeNinja
Wait, nope.

I found the original post and it was by Nick-Brutal and it was a second update sent in by a guy from another site.

And my first post with the phrase was in response to the first DToid story that was ended with the phrase.

Is there a way to order more than one? My friend wanted me to order one for him but during checkout it wouldn't let me change the quantity.

I'm not sure if I should order it to my house in the states and confuse the hell out of parents, or if I should have it shipped here in Japan where no one understands what it says. Shipping to Japan gives more humor opportunities but shipping costs will probably be a bitch.

Any chance you'll have the shirts in a different color, say PINK?

And will you be re-issuing the first shirt anytime soon?
Niero's Avatar - Comment posted on 02/28/2007 02:41

Seems like global priority for 3 pounds is only $9.50 which is great.

Multiple orders? No prob. Email me if you'd like to order more than 1 so you can save on shipping. I can ship 2 for the cost of shipping 1, I think.

Yup, we'll probably run this for a month and then do another shirt later this year. I have many uncomfortably funny ideas that need to get out there!

@ Milofo

I can see the "also cocks" phrase making it an inadvertent candidate for being posted on Engrish.
Milofo's Avatar - Comment posted on 02/28/2007 06:00
Milofo
It won't but I can always convince the Japanese around me that it means something else entirely. I'd love to see them trying to use it either with picking up girls, tell them its a pick up line or something, or have them say it to someone that understands english. Both shall amuse me.
Milofo's Avatar - Comment posted on 02/28/2007 06:01

Its not really engrish since its a catch phrase here but engrish.com doesn't need to know about that.
DanielO's Avatar - Comment posted on 02/28/2007 06:10

Why doesn't the t-shirt have the coma after "also"? It may be a little nit-picky, but "also cocks" is something way different than "also, cocks" and not near as funny.

No prob. I'm sending personal emails to everyone confirming the sizes just in case they forgot on checkout. I just ordered 100 more this morning so hopefully that's enough for everyone, as we sold out last night in 3 hours :)

I'm not too bored this morning, but for some reason I HAD to make that picture.

Thanks everyone. I fiddled with it a bit and now added a pulldown for sizes and international shipping. Discount on multiple ship orders is still tricky though; working on it
