(Says the guy who posts on a site called "Otaku Revolution".)

I'm sure everybody is safer because of this.

That T-shirt was custom-made for Chu and his staff at an event last July; I don't think it is available commercially.

I'm amazed at the fact that the word "rebellion" has yet to be declared illegal in China.
