The Power Up Food Pyramid

It's a decent design and all, but the way the post is presented makes it feel like shameless promotion rather than showcasing a neat design. I mean, the only accompanying text is a command to vote for the design.

I like about 1/2 of your picks but something about you posting these here doesnt seem fit with the idea of Threadless especially the lobbying for votes for your favorites

My favorite Threadless shirt that has been printed is "This is not a pipe"

The fat boy poster child doesn't help much either.

SenorMysterioso:

1. Yes, "This is not a pipe" is my favorite also.

2. I don't understand what you mean. Why do you think Threadless creates the fancy voting widget I embedded just below the jpeg? Of course they want people to blog about designs in the running.

I don't think it misfits with the idea of Threadless so much as it doesn't fit in with the idea of Neatorama. I feel sort of the same as if you had posted a link to a presidential candidate and told me to vote for them.

On your own blog, that's perfectly acceptable. Here, items are offered up (for the most part) without bias, for the reader to take as they like.
