Been There? Got the T-Shirt?
ASSME, the American Society of Shitcanned Media Elites, is according to their website, ‘a support organization for newly downsized members of the magazine, newspaper, book publishing, advertising, TV and web industries. Through time-tested methods (alcohol, social interaction), we seek to sustain and inspire this beleaguered professional subclass’.
First there was a movement, now there’s a shirt.
YES, WE CANNED!
The official ASSME
“Yes, We Canned” T-Shirt is now available! Sporting an original design by the brilliant if unassuming Michael Shea (and the now-classic ASSME logo by John Sheppard on the back), this first-ever ASSME T-shirt perfectly captures the current media-industry mood, in which we’re all doing this delicate pirouette along a knife’s edge between elation and despair, humor and utter dread. Might it become a collectors’ item? Probably!
Our thanks to BuzzFeed for this.
