What do we THINK?

Have been receiving some positive and negative vibes about AIW and the shirts. Fortunately, there is much more positive feedback! I have people saying that this is a real fun idea and they would love to wear the shirt! Thanks a lot guys!!! Well at the same time, there are people who are pretty skeptical and have quite a few questions running in their heads! Yeah i agree that a healthy skepticism is good. Still, let us try to address some of the questions:

1. Why are you doing this?

We think that this is a fun & hip thing to do and we just wanted to make our time in varsity a memorable one! Happy times are so ephemeral and we are just want to keep a piece of NBS in the years to come. This sounds mushy but that is what we sincerely think.

Also, we thought that it is fun seeing everyone wearing the shirt altogether on a day for example AA306 lecture! Just imagine the look on Prof Bernadine face!! It is really a simple thing of having a sense of belonging and having great fun. Don't you agree that the taglines are witty??And the fun here does not mean that we find auditing fun per se! We just find wearing these "controversial sarcastic" taglines really enjoyable!! Especially so in a large group. We can understand that people may find this silly but remember guys...this is our very last chance to be silly in school. Live dangerously fun rather than cautiously in our last days of studying!!

2. Are you sure this is not a profit-making project?

As we have said, this is just about having fun! The shirt is selling at cost price ($10-$11) with just a buffer margin of $1-$2 to cover transportation fees and credit default risk (sounds a wee bit too serious but unable to think of any other word currently) i.e. people ordering the shirt but not wanting it in the end! As such, we have to cover the costs of these shirts!

Do you really think that selling T-Shirts can make a lot of money?? Say the buffer margin is $2 and we sell 50 shirts, the hypothetical gross profit margin (assuming there is no transportation & credit risk) is a mere $100!! Also consider opportunity costs e.g. time to share our ideals, to set up this website, $100 is really so insignificant.

3. Isn't it dangerous to wear these controversial taglines e.g. "2.2K is not enough"?

We are thinking of having more positive taglines on auditing.. But we are sure the "devil's advocates" still like these witty harmless sarcastic taglines!!

4. I still do not believe that you all are doing this for fun and nothing else?

Since we still cannot convince you, there is nothing else we have to say. This shirt is for people who just want to have fun!!!

Hope these answers manage to clear the clouds of doubt! Any more questions? Just drop a comment!!

Auditor- C'est moi!
