RTFM Shirt featuring Chairman Mao



A week ago I have featured a trendy purse with pro-communism slogan here. Yesterday, reader Ben Ostrowsky has sent me a link to a RTFM t-shirt [shown above] at lafraise.com.

I really enjoyed the clever reference between Mao's red book and RTFM, which is a geek slang for "read the f*cking manual".

I am start to wonder if it is trendy to be a commie these days...
