T-shirt: True courage is knowing you're wrong but refusing to admit it.

Media Tonic in WA & SA will be closed from noon, Friday 23 December. If you worked with us during the year, many thanks, and a Merry Christmas. If not, Merry Christmas anyway, and we re-open on Tuesday, 3rd January, 2023.

P.S. The Onion’s ad for this shirt reads: You work hard for your money. Now hand it over.
