Satirical "Gilbert vs. Everybody" T-Shirt Hits The Internet

When you’re a billionaire like Dan Gilbert, the Internet is going to poke fun at you. That’s just the reality. Add in the fact that the particular billionaire in question got into a recent Twitter skirmish with a couple of local reporters about a story about cameras on a building downtown, and the clock was just ticking until someone did something like this.

In a satiric twist on the popular “Detroit vs. Everybody” clothing line, a fan site popped up selling “Gilbert vs. Everybody” t-shirts. They’re running $20 and they say (though we’re not able to verify) all proceeds go to the Ruth Ellis Center, which helps LGBT youth in Metro Detroit. The unnamed shirt makers utilized the cult popular meme of Underachieving Detroit Hipster Guy who, in his (normal for his page) broken english said:

Here’s where you can get the shirts. We wouldn’t be surprised if they’re not online for too much longer.
