Be careful what you do

Lesson learned from this week: If a t-shirt company has a submit an idea thing and they say they will pay you for your idea, don't submit it. they'll fuck you sideways with a lunchbox.
Okay. here's the deal.
Jinx.com has a submit an idea section.. (located here: http://www.jinx.com/idea_submission.aspx)
the other week i submitted a string of random ideas, including "How about a shirt with a Killer pacman on it?"
Now, that idea's rather out there, and i'm pretty sure nobody else came up with it.
so then this week i see this: http://www.jinx.com/men/shirts/video_ga ... bbler.html
Hmm.. Let's think this over.... who's idea did jinx use and not pay the 100 dollars listed?
yeah.
So i emailed them about it and i got the exact response i expected:
I'm surprised at how low a site can be. The claim of money for your idea is considered false pretense in this case..
also, in a similar one; i submitted the idea of having a gummy bear with it's head blown off and it saying "BOOM! Headshot", then i see this 2 weeks later: http://www.jinx.com/men/shirts/video_ga ... id=79&cs=2&
csd=79
so people. Fuck J!NX.com... never go to it.. never buy from it.. never ever submit your idea for it... it's evil... (and it's all because of greed.... (greed.. the same greed thats caused 2 stock market crashes; 2 world wars; slavery; pain, unhappiness, and a shitload of other things..))

so you can see how pissed i am... anyone want to call those numbers and send thousands of complaint emails to me...?Hi Luke,
Thank you for your email. Whenever we release new designs, it is very common
for us to receive two or three emails on certain ideas stating that they had
submitted the idea and were not paid. However, our practice is to only pay
the first person that submits an idea. This is clearly laid out in the
rules. If you were not notified, you were not the first person to submit
the idea. We receive hundreds of idea submissions daily. Please know that
we take this matter seriously and have always paid submitters in an ethical
and fair manner. We hope this clears things up, but if you have any other
questions, please let us know.
