HD-DVD key numbers turned into colors on a T-shirt
You know those numbers that could change the world? No, not the ones on Lost, the HD-DVD key code that could lead to the end of Digg as we know it.Well, the sixteen hexadecimal digits are just numbers when it comes right down to it. And you can do all sorts of things with numbers, like use them as a basis for web-colors and make them into a pretty picture that may or may not be illegal to share with your friends.
But why stop there when you can go one step further and design a T-shirt based on those colors and sell it for fun and profit? It'll be interesting to see if the T-shirt gets a cease and desist notice from the MPAA, or if they'll send out letters to anyone caught wearing the shirt in public.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

You'd have to be the biggest nerd in the world to buy that. Nobody is going to understand what it means, it just basically looks gay for those that don't get it. Plus the key is going to be changed in the future anyway. Amazing how fast the money grab on this was.

30 bucks for a t-shirt is a rip-off!
Especially if you consider they have the wrong number!!!

Check again! The colors are right (just the code displayed on the site is not). The only one in question is the last one is "c0" = "c00" or "c0c" (as some have decided).
Amazing someone puts out good quality shirts with no real mind to making a profit, initally as a bit of fun, they and the are ripping people off, Cafepress do it and it's okay.. People get a perspective.
