The other night, I sent an e-mail to GiantBomb and asked why I still haven't received the t-shirt that I ordered. Mike Tatum, the business dude for Whisky Media, responded within an hour (I guess they're on top of things) and he told that my shirt was shipped on the 22nd of December but has been held in Canadian Customs ever since. He also mentioned that the situation I'm in has appeared the most frequently in Canada and this got me thinking. I thought to myself "Why would customs hold my shirt for over 15 days? I understand holding it for a couple of days or so but they must think somethings wrong with it. What do they think it is? Drugs? Money? Computer Programs? Weapons? Prostitu- wait... weapons!"
Here's why I think they have my shirt. Are you ready? The answer should be pretty obvious by now but here it goes. I'm being shipped a shirt from a company, in the US mind you, named GiantBomb. I'm receiving a package from a different territory that has the word GiantBomb on it and it's adressed to me. Lots of other people in Canada are receiving a package with the name GiantBomb on it so maybe this could possibly be interpreted as a possible attack and... I'm linked to it. I'M GOING GO TO JAIL AND BE KNAWED ALIVE BY BEAVERS AND BLACK BEARS!!! And yeah that's what I figured out so if I'm not active on the site for awhile, I either ran away or I was taken to some prison in the backwoods of Canada.
By the way, I don't actually think that I'll be taken to a prison run by beavers, bears, and mounties but I do think that the name certainly has something to do with it.
I really suck a writing blogs, don't I?

Man, I paid a gabijillion(That includes customs) to get a Luchadeer hoodie all the way to Norway and when I finally got it it was too big. I guess European medium and American medium are two different things. Oh well, I'll give it to a friend of mine to spread the word of GB and buy another on ejust to support these fine gentlemen.
"I laughed, i can just imaging three mounties (in full red coat and hat) standing around a small box, that says giant bomb in big red letters on the top, scratching there heads.""What is it?"
"We don't know bu those idiots put GiantBomb on the package."
*Opens Box*
"What the fuck is that? ITs......Its.....a Mexican Wrestling Deer?!?!?"
Other Guy walking in: "Why the hell is the bomb squad here? Its a sweatshirt from a Game Review Site."
"I laughed, i can just imaging three mounties (in full red coat and hat) standing around a small box, that says giant bomb in big red letters on the top, scratching there heads."LOL. All decked out in the red suit and all, eh?
"no up here in Canada we don't use the colour system (yes that is spelled correctly.) we use animals, so that man would be yelling "Code....*looks at chart* Beaver code Beaver!" we Canadians also are very cliche...."Beaver code Beaver? Are you sure you weren't just watching Mounting Mounties?
Heh, that sucks, dude. I'd love to see the look on their faces if they actually get to open up these packages and look at the awesome images on the shirts.
I live in Canada and a similar thing happened to me. When I received my hoodie there was a huge hole in the bottom of the package. I can just imagine someone at customs seeing the address and tearing it open as fast as possible. XD
