Support Iran



No humor in this post, but I do draw your attention to two interesting tshirts available online.




social media -- facebook, youtube and most of all in this case twitter -- are really blurring the line between news provider and audience in response to the impugned Iran election. Say what you will about twitter acting as a foundation for the protest vs. the protest acting as a foundation for twitter. These Iran election tshirts capture that symbiosis, but also promote an allegiance with the protesters. Yet, it's unclear and doesn't seem likely that the proceeds from these Mousavi products and other merchandise in support of the Iranian people are going to aid the protesters
