I love the "Cease and desist - Rovio" testimonial. Wouldn't surprise me if that became a reality since they're selling merch. Awesome idea though.

Try filling out the order form ;) Rovio was invested in by Accel Partners - the same group that invested $68m into Atlassian. There's a bit of a connection.

What happens if you fill out the form (for the lazy like me)?

But I'd really like the T-shirt. Please?

I'll second that. I would happily pay good money for that shirt.

Me too, the shirt rocks. Or please share the image in HQ!

After having to deal with Atlassian Confluence it’s no surprise I’m angry.

JIRA’s alright though.

(Despite just being a good joke) there's something to be said about the link between success and product familiarity/likeness. The "success" being that it got all of our attention (300+ votes on HN). It's more than just a cheap trick; companies copy ("learn from") each other's ideas and UI layouts all the time.

The submit button doesn't seem to do anything.

Is the "nerds" hitting the ground rather than the pile of 0s and 1s a part of the joke?

It's a Google Doc, so I'm guessing they collect the data you entered, but that's it.

This is the best one I've seen so far today.

BTW, Angry Birds RIO is disappointing. I miss the pigs!
