Profits go to  "Child's Play" -  where do i put my creditcard information?
 
I'm getting not one, but two! Gonna where them to that climat summit thing here in copenhagen.... 
 
But wtf, no International shipping? 
 
So you darn Americanos can put a man on the moon, but can't ship a T-shirt to The Europas?? 
 
Whats the problem, putting an ekstra stamp on the package?     

Why no love for your international users/fans??

It should be up and running today, hopefully. 
 
EDIT - Nevermind, that's just Canada, UK and Australia.

Yeah, I would get it if you just ignored Australia cuz they hate games down there... 
But Europe is also a civilized part of the world where people use T-shirts just like America, and we will fight you for that privilege!

There is no international shipping because of an embargo: The U.S. State Department has declared that all Giant Bomb t-shirts can not exported. They are restricted items.
 
The reason for the embargo wasn't stated, but I believe it's due to the possibility that they may be used in acts of terror, or used against U.S. troops in the middle east.
 
 EDIT: The Lisbon Treaty also had a secret clause which would require the EU to regulate and enforce this ban. Deadly force is authorized in instances of smuggling.

Jeff has stated on twitter that shipping to the UK, Canada & Australia will begin sometime today. And there is a thread about it here, so I'm going to lock this.
