If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
This just goes to show that bargain-hunting geeks should never be designers, as Pricewatch'sT-Shirt contest has, with a few exceptions, produced some pretty ugly/cheesy entries. You'd think for $10,000 you'd get some kick-ass designers on board, but, mostly (and I certainly haven't dug through all the entries) I see a lot of clichéd design ideas.

Although almost all of them suck...number 667 looks really freaken sweet...and something people would actually wear.
