Creating a Lost Remote t-shirt
Cory Bergman August 14th, 2006
As Chip suggested in comments earlier today, we should have a Lost Remote t-shirt. So let’s come up with a pithy slogan and I’ll sell ‘em at cost. Whoever comes up with the winning slogan gets two free t-shirts. I’ll start it out in comments…

the web is not tv
or in geek:
web<>tv
Web producers can wear it with pride!
2. Safran | August 14th, 2006 at 3:33 pm
How about: SAFRAN DEEPLY OBJECTS TO SELLING THESE AT COST

The universal “no” sign over “Buggywhips”
11. Dave | August 14th, 2006 at 6:17 pm
This may just be an Australian thing so may not work for you, but you’ll often hear the remote referred to as the ‘clicker’ here. With that in mind:
find your clicker
or…if it’s not too obscure a reference to customers as click-throughs, web-surfing, etc:
find your clickers
Both of those could very well be taken in a way I would of course never have intended, but to be explicitly low-brow, something along the lines of:
click size matters
12. Amanda | August 14th, 2006 at 6:32 pm
I’m all for Cory’s idea of the “web is not tv”
I have a few collegues who’ll need one.
13. Safran | August 14th, 2006 at 6:39 pm
Wow. So many good ones. And we should take advantage of the on-demand nature of cafepress and offer more than one.
I really like:
Brad’s FILE > OPEN > WEB > TV > INFO
I’ve always liked Cory’s “GET LOST”
I push my own “Live, Local and Late for Lunch”
And a few more from me (although I am excluded from the contest:)
- Convergence Urgence
- We all say what’s news
- Get over your platform
- No dead trees or CRTs
- It’s Made of Tubes

“sign up for lost remote at a mere $10 per month and we’ll throw in aol for FREE!”
(might work till word gets around)
16. Jason | August 14th, 2006 at 7:20 pm
1. “Get Your Own”
2. “Wheres YOUR Remote?”
3. “Do you know where YOUR remote is?
4. “Connecting it”
17. Cory | August 14th, 2006 at 7:30 pm
Great ones so far. Here’s another, in honor of Safran:
One viewser at a time
-or-
It’s VIEWSER, stupid
And I think I would get in trouble with this one:
TV - web = unemployment

What’s wrong with the tried-and-true “Where TV finds the future”?
Or what about “The web isn’t the future. It’s the present.”
21. Don | August 14th, 2006 at 8:56 pm

’spose i’m excluded too, so with apologies to the bard:
there are more things in heaven and earth than on your television
or
i left a comment on lost remote, and all i got was this lousy t-shirt
or
a test pattern with a 404 error message
or
SELECT FROM lostremote WHERE tv EQUALS future
24. Cory | August 14th, 2006 at 10:00 pm
Yet another one…
Web producers can do it on any platform
25. Rex | August 14th, 2006 at 10:32 pm
“LostRemote.com: We know you were looking for Lost gossip, but please stay anyway.”
26. Safran | August 15th, 2006 at 3:33 am
Cory wins.
27. Matt | August 15th, 2006 at 4:52 am
I agree - the web is not TV & get over your platform are the best.
Can he win his own contest?
28. Amy | August 15th, 2006 at 5:38 am
For all the ladies in the house, make sure these shirts are not all men’s XL .

31. Swift Loris | August 15th, 2006 at 7:13 am
Take the “can” out of Cory’s line:
Web producers do it on any platform.
32. Chris Rooney | August 15th, 2006 at 7:30 am
Damn! I was going to try to come up with something using “viewser.”
How about “Dude, where’s my media?”
“Multi-media frenzy”
“Got ideas?”
“Find the future”
“The convergence connection”
“My screen’s wider than yours”

Oh, I like David’s. We should have made this a Photoshop contest. The TV Bomb is good, and the 404 error over a test pattern is inspired.

Borrowing again on themes already voiced here…
Lost Remote:

1a) Without it, your TV’s dead.
2) Without us, TV’s dead.
2a) Without us, your TV’s dead.

Convergence - white balanced
47. Alyssa | August 16th, 2006 at 8:40 am
“The only remote you’ll ever need”
“Changing channels of communication”
“Dude, where’s my convergence?”
I also like “It’s VIEWSER, stupid” and “web producers do it on any platform” ( b/c I used to really like those “Co-ed Naked ” t-shirts).
How about “The media does it on camera”?
Or, “doing it on the web” ?
And, like Amy, I’m hoping for some shirts that fits the ladies.
