Is this acceptable to put on the shirt?
"ECA: Robbing Jack Thompson of his Freedom of Speech Since 2005"
That is absolutely not true, sir!
The ECA hasn't been around that long...

D'oh! :)
I'd rather not reward Jack Thompson. He has not done one good thing for anybody in over 20 years.

Here are a few shirt slogans I thought up, some better than others. Use them if you like. Change the wording, add art...whatever you feel makes a good shirt.
If killers were born of violent video game play,
You’d be dead before you finished reading this…
If violent video games harm children,
How come no one’s writing laws that make facilitating such play a form of child abuse?
Age recommendation on the front, content descriptors on the back.
What? Too much for you to remember?
Don’t want your children playing M-rated games? Don’t let them!
…or do you really need the gov’t to do your job for you?
It’s okay to suck at video games,
It’s not okay to suck at parenting.
ESRB ratings
Parental controls
The Internet
You’re damn head
-Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo-
If you’re serious about providing entertainment to gamers of ALL ages,
Why won’t you allow AO games on your consoles?
I’ll decide which games are appropriate for my kids.
Warning! Player of Violent Video Games
Studies show I may blast you with a loud noise.
Video game violence has not desensitized me to REAL violence.
Kill someone in front of me and I’ll run screaming.
Andrew Eisen
I love the second to las t one. Best slogan ever.

This one's got my vote:
"There is no sin except stupidity." - Oscar Wilde
Second to last is the best, hands down.
-Remember kids, personal responsibility is for losers! For information on games and psychology, look up: Jonathan Freedman(2002)Block & Crain(2007) Just to name a few...
