Akamai's Uniqlo T-Shirt Carries a Hidden Bash Script

The Uniqlo PEACE FOR ALL T-shirt designed with Akamai has a block of characters on the back that is actually a Base64-encoded Bash script. Engineer Tristan Sherliker decoded it, revealing an Easter egg that displays a swaying "PEACE FOR ALL" animation. The shirt originally planned to use peace symbols, but those were rejected for cultural reasons; the script was embedded as a substitute.
