Every so often you find a piece of clothing that you really like. And I mean REALLY like. You like it so much that it becomes your favourite piece of kit and you want to wear it every day. That’s how we feel about the organic t-shirt range from Red Robot.

Not only are Red Robot’s t-shirts made from supersoft, guilt-free environmentally-friendly organic cotton but they’re also incredibly cool too. Of all their range we particularly liked their Mono Turbine in a gorgeous yellow (Aspen gold) with a fantastic distressed print graphic.

Their attention to detail is sublime too, with an embroidered logo on the sleeve. Some of their other shirts also have a  signature single arm ringer; those sort of details are always a nice touch but also the mark of quality.

So if you’re a Joy Division fan (see their Robot Pleasures design), a Quentin Tarantino fan (have a nosey at the Robot Dogs T) or just a lover of great quality organic cotton t-shirts then go check out Red Robot for some additional cool wear for your summer wardrobe.

The Hummer has to be the most-hated vehicle in history; a 2-ton, 10 mpg piece of utterly pointless machinery for people with egos the size of a planet and a very small penis.

Then there are the chauffeur companies that even have them as stretch-limos! Come on, a stretch hummer? Whoever thinks a Hummer is cool is seriously lacking in the brain department.

So if you hate the Hummer as much as it deserves to be hated, then you’ll be happy to see the Monster Truck t-shirt from Fat American.

Beyond the sheer contempt these vehicles encourage in the vast majority of rational & sensible people, the story of the Hummer and it’s extensive use by the US military in fields of conflict where security of oil supply for an overly-thirsty nation is more palatably known as “democracy”, is the same story behind this biodiesel t-shirt. As the text on the Fat American website says:

On this SUV is a yellow magnetic ribbon that states “Support Our Troops”. The ribbon is manufactured in China and profits from the sale of it don’t go to disabled veterans or the families of dead soldiers. The owner of this SUV supports the war since it is patriotic to do so. The war is largely about oil and since this SUV requires a large amount of it, its owner is glad when gas prices go down.

Stopped at a traffic light next to this SUV is a small electric car with a “END THE WAR! Bring Our Troops Home Now!” sticker.

The driver of each car stares at the other in disgust but only one of the drivers has a valid reason to do so.

When the light turns green, both cars take off, one of them emits a poisonous exhaust. If you look at the fumes closely you might see the skulls of US troops and Iraqi civilians who paid for the gas in the SUV’s tank.

That’s pretty succinct. We couldn’t have said that better ourselves. But that’s not all, the piece finishes on another gem of a quote from Ralph Nader:

The use of solar energy has not been opened up because the oil industry does not own the sun.

The t-shirt is $20 with free shipping in the US & Canada, how much to the UK, Europe & the rest of the world I don’t know. The American Apparel #2001 shirt the design is printed on is sweat-shop free but unfortunately not organic.

Nice.

Back in the 1970s Kermit sang It’s Not Easy Being Green.

Now Kermit is on a t-shirt saying “It IS easy being green”.

Bloody frogs, make your mind up.

What a muppet!
