The Summer apparel offensive continues at our Cash'n'Carrion Reg shop with the release of two exciting new products.

Nigerian 419 and O'Really Practical Unix Terrorism

If you're tired of receiving unsolicited emails from Nigerian 419 scammers posing as the widows of high-ranking army officers with access to cash beyond the wildest dreams of avarice, look no further than our

magnificently appointed t-shirt

.



This limited edition will doubtless provide some consolation to those who have lost their entire life savings in an advance fee fraud. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?

Apart from the slogan and "419" logo shown above, the shirt has the full and unexpurgated text of a genuine email from one Dr Adinna Yusuf of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation printed on the back. It's an entertaining read, to be sure.

And there's more. We've expanded the popular O'Really range to include the much-demanded Practical Unix Terrorism. In response to reader requests, this shirt is available in XL and Medium, as are the other O'Really offerings - Snooping Email for Fun and Profit and Distributing Clue to Users.

So there you have it. Get 'em while they're hot. ®
