Captain Sir Tom Moore RiP

[Ax^]

Emm...

a little to much on the nose methinks

 

[salem]

God there's a lot of shite on redbubble

that must just be a bot that slaps an American flag behind everything surely?

It's all particularly naff as a cash grab by people ripping off his image for their own wallet. Pretty fucking offensive.

 

[Pickman's model]

I wonder what volume of captain tom tat will end up in landfill

bah

You are Mark Twain and I demand my Fiver.

I'm not well read enough to understand the reference!

 

[Wilf]

Wonder if his family are eyeing a rights deal for all this tat? Inevitably there'll also be some godawful film, that several hacks and scriptwriters are currently slavering over.

for satire you need satirists and i suspect there's where the deaths have been

A lot of my favourites are dead or spent, but I am rather out of touch with what followed, I assume some are still out there. I never even watched the thick of it!

It had crossed my mind too! Couldn't bring myself to look though as I'm on a work laptop.

whilst i love the thick of it, it doesn't address the past few years' events so many of which deserve to be satirised

I think a fair amount of it will be made-to-order these days. Remember that "agile" just-in-time logistics has been the done thing for at least a decade now. A lot of the people selling stuff on websites like RedBubble are going to be smaller operators, maybe even just one person, so they can't afford to hold onto a lot of stock.

Still, who the fuck would actually buy any of that shit?

 

[Nine Bob Note]

All in the best possible taste...

Emm...

That Redbubble site has more where that came from. How about this for a t-shirt design available there. https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/CAPTAIN-TOM-NATIONAL-HERO-by-losttorpedo/48029096.IJ6L0



I also note that other flags are available, as if my brain wasnt scrambled enough. 'captain tom moore' Travel Mug by John Hana

I hate the world.

Commemorative coin not enough. He needs his own currency.

Not buying any of this stuff until I can pay in BTC. Bit-Tom Coin.

Change Bitcoin to that and watch the price jump $1000.

Sorry I had missed that one when I found and posted the travel mug.

Pic was a bit big, but I make no apology. Needs scaling up to White Cliffs of Dover size.

Cliffs eh, see what I did, eh?

Is that Russ Abbot on the right? A blast from the past if so, had forgotten he existed.

He loves a party with a toxic atmosphere

fair play to Cold War Steve, he's outdone himself there

 

[Orang Utan]

He really should be standing up in such eminent company. Very disrespectful

I’d post that up on the Facebook look-a-like group, but I fear I’d have a mob round with pitchforks.

Since I am mostly allergic to modern television I reply on the likes of wefail and cold war steve to fill this gap, and I think they have it covered pretty well.
