[magman007]

ok, i tihnk there website is pretty funny, and those shirts, well maybe if the salm incident haddnt happened, then id maybe get the refs suck one, but i ref some times. I would olny use it at an event when the reffing did suck, like my own form of social protest.

Any ways, i dont think they will hurt the sport, if any thing, they may make people wake up, and take evil down, along with the other bad stuff going on. MAybe making the sport better? i dunno

its called humor and satire, maybe you should read up on it.... mr. cold hearltess cyborg fun nazi man

[Jack Napier]

Its not fun. Its not funny.

Personally I find their ads kind of amusing. I have to say that sometimes there are those people who just don't seem to understand that when you're hit you're out. In these cases just a little "overshooting isn't a crime" :)

I honestly don't see the big deal. It's just a line of clothing, after all. When did we get so anal retentive?

For all of you who are predicting the end of organized paintball as we know it due to the Evil shirts, just lighten up! That's not going to happen - nothing will change! Nobody really cares about the shirts anyways, I mean, if we all cared about what shirts said, people wouldn't speak coherently, they'd only throw out Abercrombie slogans and say "I flung poo."

After all - they ... are ... shirts. If you want to wage a holy crusade against evil and force them to change their shirts to say things like "Paintball rocks! Hold hands if you get bunkered! Friends forever!" be my guest, but just remember that Evil's not trying to get everyone to act like a bunch of Care Bears with paintball markers; they're actually trying to make money (make... money? Novel concept!) and they're shtick is "shirts with an edge" (though I'll admit that edge sucks), and we're really powerless to stop them. If they sell product, but a few people raise a finger and say "well, hold on a minute please" they're not going to stop selling.

Maybe instead of trying to stop insults on shirts, why don't you petition the NPPL to put stricter limits on the attitudes of its participants; fining those who cuss or throw equipment, and bans on those who cheat, not just Ninja wanna-bees. After all, where do you think cheating started - from a shirt slogan, or someone actually DOING IT?

Sheesh.

PS - Honestly, just laugh once in a while! We don't have to be PC all the time! Much love...

I totally agree with ya man.

There was no, "You people have to much free time - Get a life" choice. Rest assured that if there were I would have voted.

The name explains it all...evil.

[agdemagman69]

I have to agree with OldschoolMag

[WhoDaresPlay]

I bought one of the t-shirts at cup, still the same person with it on.

[John Dresser]

I reffed a couple games with one of the "Ref's Suck" shirts on until I decided I didn't want to ruin it and put it away in my bag.

I thought the t-shirts were the first funny t-shirts I've seen in a while. The rest of the product line is what really got everyone's attention. Maybe they'll even make mag stuff one day.

The website is even funnier. I wouldn't recomend going there if you don't have a sense of humor. www.evil-paintball.com

I found some of the stuff on their web site funny. I don't like the T-Shrits at all. So, I don't know how that would fit in your poll, so I did not vote.

[yeahthatsme]

just skip down to the last few sentances:

"Our webmaster is whack, but some of his comments were so funny we had to keep them. We should tell you that our webmaster happens to be a pro player on a very successfull pro team we cannot mention due to contracts (???????). We sent him the products and told him to make a site, and this is what happened, note, never pay a webmaster in beer, this is what you get.So don't be up tight and enjoy ... And keep in mind, rule the world is not a slogan it is simply the destiny of our customers."

so true so true.....
