Dec 10 2008Microsoft 'Software', A New Clothing Line
Yes, for real. Microsoft is launching a clothing line named Software. I don't get the pun, but I'm sure it's funny. Hit the jump for three more available styles, all of which have a retro feel to them (including Bill's mugshot). So -- who's buying? Anybody? Apparently this is all part of Microsoft's new marketing campaign. But, I've got to tell you, Microsoft: your marketing dollars would go a lot further if you just bought up all the advertising space on Geekologie. And also, hired me as your spokesperson. Check out this new slogan I've been working on:
Microsoft - Macrohard when you need it to be.
BOOYA! That was a freebie, the rest you'll have to pay for.
Hit it for the other shirts.
Thanks to Fally, who's not interested, and Jaimie "who's stupid enough to pay a lot of money for microsoft shirts that can probably be bought for $5 elsewhere."

Do they have a shirt with the blue screen of death?
5. deartragedy - December 10, 2008 12:57 PM

How 'bout one with a picture of Jerry Seinfeld that just says "FAIL" under it.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like the scene from the movie never Back Down where Max and Baja make believe they are retarded in order to win the special olympics.

Where's MS_DOS? Oh, there you are.
Not nerdy enough.
My Windows 95 shirt is way better than these.

Doubt anybody's goin to be buying those. Who wants a shot of Bill Gates plastered across their chest, anyway? May as well have the slogan "F**K YOU" and a big target underneath it.

Yep, M K, I was thinking the shades of blue were too light. Definitely need a BSOD T-shirt.
How 'bout

I'm launching a new line for the Snorg Tee's girls. I call it "Bukkakewear". 100% hypoallergenic, 100% handmade in the US.

This is not photoshop dude, there are other shirts available already. And the real pun is that the brand is called "Softwear", ahn ahn? Get it? Here's the official: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/softwearbymicrosoft/
13. known - December 10, 2008 1:12 PM
I can see a great parody of these shirts coming out soon with 9's idea. I'd buy the F**KY OU one :)
14. Bryan - December 10, 2008 1:12 PM
oh snap, i didn't see that the link was already there, LIKE IT ALWAYS IS. I feel like a sad loser right now. sorry everyone! but i'm still right about the name, it's softwear, so does this get me any points?
15. respam - December 10, 2008 1:13 PM
Its SOFTWEAR, there's the pun XD
16. Sgt. C. Foxtrot - December 10, 2008 1:15 PM
@10
I'd buy one.
17. known - December 10, 2008 1:15 PM
Bryan you have to understand Daisy, to understand Daisy. We know they're not photoshopped but it's important Daisy tell us otherwise and why.
I'm sure you're not a loser, though you are reading Geekologie
18. VanillaFace - December 10, 2008 1:17 PM
the Binary says "Software" in the first part. . . didn't really bother reading the second because it made no sense. . . I grow bored. . . someone get me a chick with some sand in her vajayjay! Daisy?
19. Moose Knuckle - December 10, 2008 1:28 PM
Wait... doesn't microsoft translate to "smallflaccid"? Yeah, that's not so hot.
20. Jazzman - December 10, 2008 1:32 PM
@10
I'd buy 01 10
(Binary = I'd buy 1 too)

23. jaime - December 10, 2008 2:11 PM

24. jaime - December 10, 2008 2:12 PM

25. jaime - December 10, 2008 2:14 PM

sorry geekologie writer, i'll never defy you again!
26. Gizmoduck - December 10, 2008 2:20 PM
yawn
27. Anita Bath - December 10, 2008 2:49 PM
Hmm… are these going to freeze up and need to be taken off and put back on every few hours?
28. Thumperchica - December 10, 2008 2:50 PM
@5, 12, 23 - FAIL.
29. Binty! - December 10, 2008 3:38 PM
FRIST!!!!
Nerd junk!!!
30. Binty - December 10, 2008 3:39 PM
I mean FIRST!1!!!
31. DreamFolder - December 10, 2008 3:58 PM
VanillaFace had it almost right. (Really slow day) The binary converts to, oddly enough, "SOFTWEAR BY MICROSOFT"
I didn't know about that 32 added to the values until just now. I've never been that into the hardcore comp sci stuff, but I can do it when I have to (or get really, really bored).
32. Coffee - December 10, 2008 5:59 PM
Cool. 'Course I ain't gonna buy one. I'll just pirate one.
Should be quite easy. No DRM to get around either.
33. b&hammer - December 10, 2008 6:59 PM
Because I really really WANT for linux geeks to kick my ass...
34. Franchesca - December 11, 2008 2:50 AM
LOL @ 33
xD
35. LSDiesel - December 11, 2008 10:50 AM
The people that would wear these are the same douche bags that think it's okay to go out of the house wearing nothing but under-armor.

#4 = I second that! I friggin' hate those BSODs!
