Geeky Clothing – The Ctrl Alt Shift Kill T-Shirt

Here’s another geeky T-shirt to add to your wardrobe, the Ctrl Alt Shift Kill t-shirt.

ctrl alt shift t-shirt

Sure the Three Laws of Robotics are good for humans… but our favorite outlaw robot doesn’t live by the rules. (Plus, Mom’s Friendly Robot Company probably left that bit out of their bending units’ programming as a cost-saving measure.) He’s less likely to obey orders given by a human than to tell that same human to bite his shiny metal ass. And, occasionally, he has to kill all humans.

This shirt features Bender’s head with the words Ctrl – Alt – Shift – Kill beneath on a black, 100% cotton shirt. Bender’s eyes, gritted teeth, and the words glow in the dark.

This fun t-shirt is available to buy online for $18.99 from Think Geek.
