These 58 Facebook statuses were inspired by Threadless t-shirt designs (their Type Tees to be more specific). This means they’re all status updates you can actually WEAR as well as post them to your profile.

A few weeks ago the Blu-Ray edition of Frank Miller’s Sin City was released. I can’t wait to see this movie again in High-Definition… but then I don’t own a Blu-Ray player so it’s going to be a pricey event. Anyway, the release inspired me to take some quotes from the movie and turn them into the following 23 Frank Miller-style status …

People, we’re gonna turn Facebook upside down for a day! Yes, we can. When? Flip 6/9 upside down and you get… 6/9! Similarly, turn 9/6 around 180° and you get 9/6 again. That’s why we will turn Facebook upside down on the 9th day of the 6th month: June 9th* 2009. This day will be known as UPSIDE DOWN FACEBOOK DAY!
