We’re putting the finishing touches on a whole range of merchandise so Riot fans can show off how much they like being associated with the website which most annoys the movers and shakers of Canberra.

It’s all looking quite good but with “make on demand” web based manufacturing there’s always room for more.

So what slogans about RiotACT would you like to buy on a t-shirt?

Knock yourselves out, but bear in mind we’ll only go with funny ones.

I would also support a tishirt along the lines of “RiotACT: The first time is free…

Provided I got a free one, of course.

Crap, I really need to stop riding my sheep – Tylersmayhem, 08:38 Oct 23, 2008

The least boring corner of Canberra – The RiotACT

I love self-deprecating humour!

The RiotACT – where Bogans can pretend their smart.

tylersmayhem4:29 pm 22 Oct 08

Cool idea JB.

All will be revealed when we launch the store.

We also plan to do monthly specials though.

So just because an entry doesn’t make the first round doesn’t mean it will never be seen,

tylersmayhem4:10 pm 22 Oct 08

So JB, have any decisions of short lists officially been made for slogans?

* The Aussie city first to go in a nuke fight

* Riot ACT – Advertise Here (click for details)

* Put England to shame and come have a whinge

* Canberra = whingeing politicians, the-riotact = whingeing Canberrians

* Parliament house, War Memorial, National Gallery, The Law Courts, the-riotact

* the-riotact taking civil duty to a whole new level

* the-riotact taking civil dis-obedience to a whole new level

* Giving Canberrians a voice and politicians policy ideas since 2000

Where Public Servants earn their salaries

See you tonight, Joe Canberran.

: )

Joe Canberran5:40 pm 18 Oct 08

Anyway – can’t take all the credit – Bonejack came up with most of them

Joe Canberran5:34 pm 18 Oct 08

Trying to think of more but being distracted by bowie/ziggy stardust clips on ABC2

see you tonight Granny

*hehe*

Not bad, Joe Canberran!

Joe Canberran5:26 pm 18 Oct 08

For tylersmayhem et al:

RiotACT – enjoy ‘in moderation’

Joe Canberran5:23 pm 18 Oct 08

RiotACT – stylish threads

RiotACT – the best threads around

RiotACT – “Rabble scum” (with an image of a stormtrooper helmet)

RiotACT- Why won’t this thread just die.

I<3 u Davo111 thnx

What’s Jessica Good wearing today? Read it on RiotACT.

djk @ #173: to be fair, someone at Akuna Club/Woodstock helped me write that one, but I’ll take any credit I can get – I’m only human… 😉

Renovating his castle?

surely: ‘i’m the guy what corrected you’re grammar…’?

and thumper is, too, a cute wabbit – btw, speaking of ‘flap flap flap’, where is maelinar these days?

I’m the guy who corrected your grammar on the internet.

Thumper isn’t a cute bunny rabbit.

VYBerlinaV8_the_one_they_all_copy2:36 pm 17 Oct 08

The RiotACT – where pinko greeny lefties get what they deserve.

Variation on Gungahlin Al’s
Opinions are like ar$eholes. Everyone on RiotACT’s got one.

Opinions are like ar$eholes, RiotACT’s full of them

Flap Flap Flap.

Skidbladnir said :

But only if the price was right,

I think that goes without saying.

Holden Caulfield said :

“Crashed into a tree? Read RiotACT.”

Friend or relative crashed into a tree while drunk, speeding and evading capture by police? Come to Riotact and swear at taxpayers who object!

Winners for me:

“Johnboy is my homeboy” (papadoc)

“The RiotACT – Because everyone is entitled to read my opinion” (gobbo)

“RiotACT – The’re Canberras Best” (Gerry-Built)

As a minor point, the question was “So what slogans about RiotACT would you like to buy on a t-shirt?”…

I’m a cheapskate, so to answer the question:
Probably none.

Stubby holder, maybe. But only if the price was right, and if you don’t have a trademark on it, I can always go and make my own. 😛

RiotACT – where sanity fears to tread.

i wish i could come up with something witty and original to contribute but i am too hungover from last night’s payday binge drinking. thanks to all for the laughs – even though it makes my head hurt more.

Holden Caulfield11:28 am 17 Oct 08

Save a tree, read RiotACT

Alternatively…

“Crashed into a tree? Read RiotACT.”

Holden Caulfield11:26 am 17 Oct 08

“RiotACT – Too cheap to pay an ad agency to create a slogan.”

I’m a well balanced individual. I have a chip on both shoulders!

tylersmayhem said :

The RiotACT – Because everyone is entitled to read my opinion

Granny said :

I vote AND I blog. Riotact.

Probably my favorites so far (that aren’t mine lol)

All your base are belong to Riotact?

mr grumpy said :

I “heart logo” Riot.ACT

I <3 RiotACT

(gives it the interwebz feeling)

I created THIS with a website linked to the place the the newspaper clippings in the Academy thread were made.

“You were overcharged by 10c for your coldpressed, organic soy latte this morning? Well, come on down to RiotACT and get a free serve of harden the f#ck up.”

“RiotACT – the chip on my shoulder is bigger than yours”

“RiotACT – no softheads allowed.”

“RiotACT – Gentlemen, start your egos.”

“RiotACT – well informed, intelligent, sincere and refined – just like Jessica Wright.”

“RiotACT – we love you, Justice Higgins!”

“RiotACT – angry, fat bastards need love too!”

should be a – not a =

RiotACT = $24 cases of whine

tylersmayhem10:40 am 17 Oct 08

I Riot and I Vote.

Another goodin!

Front:
“RiotAct – I only believe in gay marriage when both chicks are hot”

Back:
“I’ll make an exception for Jessica Wright”

Pandy: you bring back so many good memories haha!

RiotACT: Where is the best [coffee|restaurant|late-night bar|massage with a happy ending] in Canberra?

Riotact. Allegedly the best website in Canberra.

I guess, to be clearer, it should be Stay ahead of the ‘Times

Hate recumbent bikes?

Think the dragway should be federally funded but restricted to electric cars?

Want to drink recycled water?

Variation on several – “If I want your opinion I’ll give it to you on Riotact”.

Mrshmellowman10:17 am 17 Oct 08

There is no Defense – RiotACT

Let the voices inside out – RiotACT

It must be true – I read it on RiotACT

Gungahlin Al9:59 am 17 Oct 08

To paraphrase Overheard from another thread gone feral:

Opinions are like ar$eholes. Everyone on RiotACT’s got one.

A vote for “Stay ahead of the Times”

the riotACT – ’cause no-one cares

new york, london, paris, canberra – riotACT

After sleeping on this important issue, I thought of something curious and provoking that I’d buy on a shirt:

“I hate your suburb”

Then whack the riotact logo under that. It offends and bemuses everyone indiscriminately.

Woody Mann-Caruso said :

“Stay ahead of the Times”

Nice.

Staying ahead of the Times is not difficult. A confused snail could stay ahead of the Times and still have time over for a milkshake.

Woody Mann-Caruso9:00 am 17 Oct 08

“Stay ahead of the Times”

Nice.

“Canberra?! On the internet?! – RiotACT”

Sorry to put a damper on all the excitement, but “Because everyone is entitled to read my opinion” is essentially the line from the failed (I think, unless they moved it to another time slot) Comedy Channel show “The Mansion”. If I were you I would be embarrassed to be associated with it.

for tomorrow:

I’ve had a Kent of a day.

Wouldn’t ever let the truth stand in the way of a good story – that would be poor journalism indeed.

RiotACT – Nice Threads dude

That did immediately occur, but it’s a little close to the truth: http://the-riotact.com/?p=9247

VYBerlinaV8_the_one_they_all_copy said :

justbands said :

I’m a RiotACT three post nutbag!

*

Gobbo said :

The RiotACT – Because everyone is entitled to read my opinion

Reprobate said :

RiotACT: what does it say about you?

Show of support for the above entries, although the *2nd one could simply read “Three post nutbag”, with no other text or identification.

Another possibility…

“Feel the power”

“RiotACT: all the smart kids are doing it” (substitute “cool”, “weird” etc)
“RiotACT: Productivity is overrated anyway”
“RiotACT: It IS work related (sorta)”
“RiotACT: Johnboy agrees with me”
“Johnboy must be obeyed – RiotACT”
“RiotACT (at least I’m not emo)”

Wide Boy Jake @#105 and #106 – nice ones!!! 😀

may I add, for your consideration:
“RiotACT – we care” followed in very small type with “(about everyone’s opinion but yours)”
“RiotACT – we’re right”
“RiotACTive wear (since 2008)”
“Written, Spoken and Authorised by RiotACT”
“RiotACT-ah-who-haa?” (paraphrased from Madagascar)
“I’m RiotACTive!!!”
“(I’m a) RiotACT responsible poster”
“What’s RiotACT” followed by URL in small type
“Google RiotACT”
“RiotACT: What’s to like?”
“Have you seen RiotACT today?”
“RiotACT: My other shirts are in the wash”
“The RiotACT respects my opinions”
“I Riot” or “iRiot”

Jonathon Reynolds9:15 pm 16 Oct 08

RiotACT: libellous, ludicrous, loud

My favourite quote at the top that apepars from time to time is the one by the “monkey bike enthusiast”. That’s bloody funny.

The RiotACT: Our dungeon is full of ugly porny slave girls.

Gungahlin Al9:03 pm 16 Oct 08

RiotACT – BYOHTML

Jonathon Reynolds9:03 pm 16 Oct 08

“RiotACT: bring you own spillchecker”

Ones I’d wear:

1. Riot: the rabble have spoken. (Granny).

3. If I want your opinion I’ll read RiotACT. (Wide Boy Jake)

4. Don’t p*ss me off!! I post on RiotACT. (Bungle)

and something about policemen and doughnuts, followed by sounds of violence maybe.

If I want your opinion I’ll read RiotACT.

variation – If I want your opinion I’ll read it on RiotACT.

or even:

– if i want your opinion, i’ll write it on riotACT –

… and of course one of my earlier ones should have read:

riotACT – wear their is less apostroph’es

this is a great thread – mebbe the whole thread could be reproduced, wrapped round the whole garment…?

Jonathon Reynolds8:54 pm 16 Oct 08

“RiotACT: Just ask Margo Kingston”

smiling politely8:24 pm 16 Oct 08

the-riotact.com – like you’ve got anything better to do

the-riotact.com – pedantic, semantic, romantic

RiotACT: We Have No Slogan

captainwhorebags8:17 pm 16 Oct 08

The RiotACT: Jack doesn’t live here.

Woody Mann-Caruso8:16 pm 16 Oct 08

The RiotACT – it’s an anagram of ‘Taco Hitter’.

RiotACT – Where nutters write in CAPS!

I get my RANT on @ RiotACT or I RANT @ RiotACT

Don’t talk to me. My opinion is @ RiotACT

(btw i’ve really enjoyed this thread – top posts everyone 🙂 )

My favorite is “The RiotACT – Because everyone is entitled to read my opinion”.

“RiotACT – better than secks” made me laugh.

and I suggest:

Yesterday = Canberra Newspapers
Today = RiotACT
Tomorrow = Your Voice

Picture of a stick figure man forcefully squashing something into the ground. Quote underneath is: “I beg to differ”.

i breathe and i vote, overheard?

riotACT – one degree of separation

riotACT – opinionated since last century

Deadmandrinking5:56 pm 16 Oct 08

Give me a tough sentence – I read Riot-Act.

Granny said :

I Riot.

I Riot and I Vote.

(I’ve been meaning to get some random sticker made up in a similar vein, like: ‘I W#nk and I Vote’ or ‘I Sing and I Vote’.

BerraBoy68, take a bow for that one: RiotACT – We Don’t Know What We Want and We Won’t Stop Till We Get It

Even if it’s not all your own work, thanks for sharing.

Pssst. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve just downloaded Mozilla for work so I can keep sneaking a peak (which means to creep up on a hill) after this thread tips over the 150 mark as I’m sure it will.

I’ve got a problem. Read it in the RiotAct.

RiotACT – Where RANDOM CAPS are not TOLERATED!

RiotACT – We Don’t Know What We Want and We Won’t Stop Till We Get It

or as the site itself says “RiotACT – It’s an Online Riot (with Right of Reply!)

RiotACT is a very good website.

RiotACT: what does it say about you?

RiotACT – Making being overcharged $5 for a pizza look cool.

RiotACT – Would you like cheese with that whine?

RiotACT – We know we’re right.

RiotACT – Everyone makes mistakes. (A little obscure – but in reference to all those idiots out there who make ‘simple’ mistakes, like plowering into a tree at 100kph in a WRX!)

RiotACT – Funnier than a ferret on speed. (Thanks Tom Sorahan and Co.)

Canberra in four words:
P0rn
Pollies
Pyrotechnics
Posting on the RiotACT

jakez said :

RiotACT – The truth is not necessary.

Riotact. Catering to the lowest common denominator since 2000.

or even a variation, p1, to “The Riotact. 10 out of 9 Canberrans say its there favourite site.”

Damn Danman, you posted a grammer joke while i was typing one 🙂

I was defamed on Riotact and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
