Oh, but the television does us such good...

So yeah, this is another of those articles we write with a smile on our faces, the kind that makes your ego swell a little. But anyhow, we're human and we can't help feeling proud when, even though it's because life's coincidences, someone wears one of our t-shirts to film a series on the television. It's just that the TV still has that special something about it =P

This time, we've spotted Hikiko, the mime, on La Sexta: Que vida más triste. Episode “19” to be exact. Here's a fragment of the episode, although you don't actually get to the part with the tte shirt, but it's just in case you're not familiar with the show [only in Spanish]:

If you want to watch it in it's entirety, you just have to visit their web page and look it up. It's an episode from last Friday 23rd of October. We would give you a link directly, but there isn't one available =(

See video on La Sexta [only in Spanish]

And if you don't want to watch the whole thing, he's a photogram and that's that...
Yeah, yeah.. We know you can't really see the picture on it, but capturing the screen really doesn't give us that much anyway. See you soon!

Tolky Monkys little nudge...

Just like in our previous contest, to encourage you to write that story you have in mind and are too embarrassed because you think it may not be good enough, we're going to raffle out discount coupons to ALL the participants, without sortition, just for leaving an idea:

• If you have proposed an idea: 25% discount coupon.
• If you've publicized the contest through Twitter: 25% discount coupon.
• If you write a blog post announcing the contest with a link to our blog and our Tolky Monkys page: 50% discount coupon.

The coupons will be handed over when the winners are chosen and can't be accumulated. Only one coupon will be given out, even if you write several ideas, which will be valid only once. But, you will be able to use it in out all products without exception: boy t-shirts, girl t-shirts, hoodies, polo shirts and posters.

So now you know, stop waiting to have the perfect draft and propose something already, 'cause the important thing is to have fun and enjoy reading everybody's quirks. This isn't work. Here we won't say “you must do better than this Smith”. The story is probably a lot better than you imagine. It's like those times we had to go to an exam thinking we would flunk and then pass with an A+ =P

The blogs where you can participate in are:

- Cottonable [English]
- Oink el rellano [Spanish]
- Raza Becaria - Blog de La Sexta [Spanish]
- Si, lo se [Spanish]
- Solo pienso en camisetas [Spanish]
- T-shirts Around the Internet [English]
- Viste Adecuadamente [Spanish]

Remember you have until the 22nd of October. At 12 at night it'll close and we'll start to judge the stories.
