It's a uniquely edgy blog that has just announced a contest, of sorts. Hezbollah Tofu is a relatively new blog that takes on chef/author/moron Bourdain's infamous quote from his first book: "Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn. To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living. Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, and an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food.”
As such, Hezbollah posts veganized Bourdain recipes (one is getting voted on versus Bourdain's version). Anyway, the genius behind the blog recently wrote:
"Name 5 Things cooler than a Hezbollah Tofu t-shirt. See, you couldn't, could you? That's because nothing cooler EXISTS. And, right now, neither do the actual t-shirts. Here's the thing--we can't be talking such a big game and then go around wearing lame-ass t-shirts that just say something like "tofu ruullessss bacon is grooossssss" with the website address. And all the cutesy "give peas a chance" shit has already been appropriated by PETA, which, you know, we're not even going to go there. So we need something with awesome yet not in-your-face graphics and achingly witty text. Surely you cannot expect me to do this all by myself, particularly given that my Photoshop skills begin and end with airbrushing the odd PMS zit out of a vacation photo. So I need for the brave among you to offer up your mad skills and whip up something fantastic to plaster across various merchandise..."
