Consumerist Tshirts Canceled
We had a problem with the tshirt printer meaning no one would get their shirts on time, so we canceled the Consumerist tshirt order. This worked out well because only 5 shirts were sold, and we bought two of them. We refunded everyone's money and issued them a coupon for a free Gawker Shop tshirt.
Look for a new, market-driven, Consumerist tshirt design in the future. — BEN POPKEN

I liked the "Strongly Written Letter" one, but I didn't like the "Mystery Shopper" one. I mean, frankly, the whole idea of a mystery shopper sounds completely absurd to me. In any case, it doesn't really express the anger that consumers feel after being screwed over by big corporations, while "strongly worded letter" is kind of a tongue-in-cheek way of doing it that also more accurately describes what you guys do at the Consumerist.
