Woot, that company I regularly throw money at in exchange for clever t-shirts — and who also popularized the “Deal of the Day” on miscellaneous stuff — was acquired by Amazon last Wednesday.
The company’s sense of humor is pretty demented, and almost always LOL-inducing, as evidenced by the write-up for this shirt. The letter that Woot CEO Matt Rutledge sent out to employees announcing the company had been bought was in the same whimsical tradition, and very entertaining. The first sentence alone sets the tone for the rest:
I know I say this every time I find a picture of an adorable kitten, but please set aside 20 minutes to carefully read this entire email.
Definitely one of the better “Hey, we’ve been acquired by another company” letters ever.
