Neat, I'm wearing that exact shirt right at the moment I see this on the front page!

I typed it out myself, and I liked the comment in Japanese text, which sort of added another layer of obfuscation (even though pasting it in an online decoder was trivial, it still was something more to decode, a level deeper). Also, I can now spot non-ASCII blobs in base64-encoded text, which is a skill I hadn't ever considered was possible before.

"Uniqlo x Akamai sells another design of shirt in the same range which is plainly incomplete" Imagine having to return a t-shirt because that malfunction! — I don't understand why are you returning this, was the size wrong or you didn't like it? — No, there is a syntax error at line 37 that makes it impossible to run, and I'm concerned people on the street may think I promote unsafe bash scripting.

- I am shell-shocked at the lack of quality assurance! Can you at least apply a patch?

Cut & paste getting more real then!

- Sure, we distribute a patch, you hot-fix it.

The person downvoting this doesn't know how to hold an iron (presumably).
