“FYI man, alright. You could sit at home, and do like absolutely nothing, and your name goes through like 17 computers a day. 1984? Yeah right, man. That’s a typo. Orwell is here now. He’s livin’ large.”
It seems like at least one or two times a year I manage to hear someone say how Orwell was only off by a few years. And you know what? As much as hearing someone say that is like nails on a chalkboard to me, for the most part, they’re totally right. As the days pass into months, our rights are slowly being eroded by our government while the reigns grow ever tighter.
And I don’t like that at all. No sir. Not one fucking bit.
So what can we do to fix it? Well, getting involved in the process is a good start. It doesn’t have to be at the federal level. Hell, it doesn’t even have to be at the state level. Start small if you have to — just start. People have been way too lazy and apathetic for far too long. It’s time to be idealistic. To give a shit.
Or would you rather spend an evening gorging yourself on Hot Pockets and porn instead?
Note: Just a heads up — this shirt is $23.00 thru the end of March. Which means you have roughly a day to save $7.00. So, uh, good luck with that.

for the record, Orwell didn’t name his book 1984 to suggest that 1984 would be the year that the shit would hit the fan.
he finished the book in 1948, which at the time had no working title. so Orwell just transposed the last two digits of the year the book was finished. he later remarked that 1984 was a fitting title as he saw the world move slowly in the direction of the book.
It would be amazing…but it just says “Big Brother is Watching”. It should be “Big Brother is Watching You”.
