    Off Topic: My mug order was canceled

    Hey All,

     I know this crowd will appreciate my post about a Mug I ordered from AT&T / Zazzle.

    what happened to freedom of speech ? You can have any color you want, as long as its black. Why would it be offensive to ATT if you are the one drinking out of it every day ?

    The way the error message was phrased (and incidentally, how TunnelRat-ish of the OP to simply insert a link to his blog), it makes it seem like Zazzle (the printing company) is the one forbidding the language, not AT&T.

    I might add...

    Not only did he just post a link to his blog like TR does, but also rated himself 5 stars like TR does as well.

    Next he will start screaming 'the asians' are messing with his mug order...

    Officially Zazzle canceled the order.  AT&T had a profanity filter on the create mug gadget.  but when you clicked order button, it forwared you to Zazzle with a Query string, and zazzle didn't have the profanity filter.

    Yeah, whatever, I don't really care.  The point is, not only is it not a WTF, but it's in AT&T's best interest not to allow you to make such a mug.

    Have you tried just creating this mug on zazzle.com without going thru at&t's site?

    Hmmmm... 

    TRWTF is that he thought this might actually work? Or that he is surprised that it didn't...

    Tough crowd here.  At least you had the balls to post something reasonably funny. 

    Which is more than I can say about the flamers who flame away...

    and post nothing all day, but just flame away,

    in the hope that their flames hold sway...

    And they bash whatever you have to say,

    If only they could post something worth a replay...

    But no, it is all a flame away.

    For whatever you say,

    They flame away.

    LOL at those model shots of the guys 'wearing' the tshirts.

    How goofy would you feel posing for those shots in the first place with a blank tshirt, then seeing yourself with the weirdest crap in the world people make up on that site?

    hmmm... maybe I should make one that says 'I'm with gay' with an arrow pointing up, just to laugh at the picture of the badass with the beard and hat.

     Free speech is a right between you and the government. Zazzle and AT&T are companies, which means they can refuse service to you.

    Wow... talk about resurrecting a dead thread...

    And a dead thread that wasn't worthy of being a thread in the first place...

    Excellent.

    My mom would rip your nads off with one hand, your head off with the other, and stuff your nads down your neck.  Given their size, it wouldn't be difficult.

    I agree with this post. Your mom is quite the feisty one.
