Here’s a little bit of brilliance — a pizzeria in San Francisco has taken quotes from nasty 1 star reviews on Yelp! and make them into t-shirts for their employees to wear. We love this.
The quotes are many and varied, but apparently one of them simply says “this place sucks.” Hey, its like the old saying, “When life gives you lemons, make funny t-shirts to hide the pain.” Wait.
Anyway, we should probably do this with our comments. Anyone want to buy a “Why is this on Consumerist?” t-shirt?

What a pathetic sign of the times . . . . . be proud of doing a bad job.
I would pay for a t-shirt with the “this comment has been disemvoweled” warning message.
“If you don’t want debt collectors calling you, maybe you should pay your damn bills.”
I want a “Just show the receipt.” shirt.
Give me a “Slow news day?” shirt please.
“Don’t carry a balance and the APR doesn’t matter.”
I would but a Grocery Shrink Ray shirt.
Seems to me this is very helpful. Somewhat like a prizefighter playing videos of people talking about how much of a wimp he is. Bet you tune in to see his next fight. The shirts tell me they’re mocking the bad reviews because they know their product isn’t anywhere close to what is described by the reviewers. Makes me at least think about asking someone I trust what the food is like.
(the reply button seems to be broken. Anyone else seeing that?)
“I have no sympathy for _______”
How about a “Why is Consumerist on my shirt?” shirt?
Hey. You got a problem with the cinematic work of Michael Keaton?! Christian Bale can’t hold a candle to him.
You know this is going to entice people to write fake 1-star reviews to see if they can make it onto a T-shirt.
But pretty clever, psychologically.
not sure if this is relevant but pizzeria delfina is a “gourmet” pizzeria associated with and next door to possibly the greatest italian restaurant in san francisco… it’s definitely not some dive-y place.
Pizzeria Delfina has mice in their kitchen. Put THAT on a shirt.
