People wonder why PHP has such a great following in the OS world...well, apparently they've never used it heavily before. Sure it's still not as mature as some of the other web languages out there, but there are people that push it to the limits daily and email the PHP crew asking about features and reporting bugs. The PHP community is so involved with each other that it's hard not to like it. Of course, the free aspect doesn't hurt things much.
Now, as for these shirts and poems and such - it's a cool idea, but what happens if all of them suck and he has to take the best of the sucky ones. I mean, come on...most of us are programmers and the like anyway. How are we supposed to come up with something cool enough for a shirt. I'd say that we let Thinkgeek or Copyleft worry about the cool duds and let us worry about making our code run just that little bit faster.
And, yes, if you're wondering, I am a PHP developer and I love it. I love how flexible it is and how fast it makes development. You don't get caught up so much in syntax that you can't code your way out, and it's developed enough to where just about anything can be done with it (including things like an IRC bot and large database driven websites).
