Barstool Sports Joins Maine Wire’s Crusade Against Chinese Communist Organized Crime

Black Friday is typically a day when normal people relax with family and watch as hordes of materialistic zombies storm big-box stores to trample one another and get into fistfights over the latest flat-screen television.

But this year is special.

This year is special because the Kirk Minihane Show has offered perhaps the single greatest t-shirt ever sold as part of Barstool’s legendary Black Friday stream-a-thon.

This magnificent artwork, for the uninformed, is inspired by the penultimate scene of “Triad Weed: How Chinese Mafia Infiltrated Maine,” which premiered in September at the Saco Drive-In Theater.

We’ve been a little quiet since the premiere of the documentary about our plans for releasing it online. The reason behind that silence and delay will be explained in good time, but it is coming. Before long, the full documentary will be available for everyone to watch online from the comfort of their own home. In the mean time, these remarkable shirts are available at the Barstool Sports store throughout the Black Friday cyber sale.

If you want to declare your hatred for communism, check out the shirts here. As part of the promotion, anyone who purchases one of these shirts and signs up for our mailing list will get via email a one-time screener link to view the version of the Triad Weed movie that we screened in Saco. To get your screener link, make sure you sign up for our mailing list here: sign up. (If you have any questions, just email me.)

The final version of the film we release will be far more expansive, thanks in part to the trove of documents, data, and information that has become available to us since Saco. However, the original film still stands as perhaps the best documentary ever made about organized crime in Maine.

Editor’s Note: The Maine Wire has no control over the Barstool Sports store, the prices, the shipping, or the products. We’re simply letting Maine Wire readers know that the shirts are available. We entirely suspect that producers Justin Trudell and David Caullaine will find someway to mess up the entire process. Any complaints about the ordering process should be directed to Dan Katz.

Disclosure: Maine Wire Editor-in-Chief, the Adonis-like model for the t-shirts, used to work at Barstool Sports as producer for the Kirk Minihane Show.
