I just got a sweatshirt, a mug, a bumper sticker and a tee shirt from these guys:

They aim to make Peak Oil fashionable. It's fun to have a tee shirt to show that I'm not the only person in the world who is concerned about peak oil.

Why is the e in the word "peak" printed backwards on the T-shirts?

The people selling the peak oil T shirts must have dyslexia or maybe they are illiterates or something. They've spelled "peak oil" wrong.


Why can't people even spell simple four-letter words anymore?

Plant, are you another Mr. Robot fan? Is that the "E-Corp" logo?

I find it a wickedly subversive show.

I am waiting also to see Game of Thrones. I couldn't pay the $100 for the boxed set, so I'll start to look around for it at the used places now.

The backwards e is just some kind of affectation. I will have to ask them about it.

I got a shirt and a sweatshirt as a conversation starter, but so far nobody seems interested.

C'est la vie!

This is the "Evil Corp" logo from Mr. Robot:

....which I have always assumed was a takeoff on the now-infamously-defunct Enron logo:

....but the only thing I see with a capital backwards "E" is this:

....which I guess I have heard of, although I don't willingly listen to any rapper if it can be avoided.

I got a sweatshirt, and I wear it quite a lot. It's pretty safe to wear, since Peak Oil is so obscure that almost nobody even knows what it is.

as evidenced above, the main goal of visual communications is communicating, if the viewer is forced to first decipher your alphabet (because you think a backwards "e" is cute), you've failed the basic task

Hey, look at it this way if we wear this peak oil fashion, we may become famous once the real noticeable effects get into gear, we will be celebrated as the "Prophets of Doom"
I find it a wickedly subversive show. --- Oh yeah Kaiser, it is eerily contemporary considering how Hacking has become so pervasive and effective. I think I would pass on any hacking fashion though.

I have been wearing my Peak Oil sweatshirt for a while now, and nobody has even noticed it. I think we are in the tiny fraction of a percent of people who even know what it is. No danger of being lynched over it. Nobody has ever even heard of the concept around here.
