Yeah, I know. Cloverfield came out in 2008, so the Groverfield parody shirt is old news, right?

If you were Joel Watson over at Hijinks Ensue comics, you would’ve felt the same way. Or at least until you woke up this morning and wondered why your sales page was getting so many hits.

This is why:

The moral of this story is:

1) Make a cute shirt referencing something in the Pop Culture sphere.
2) Get it in the hands of Chris Hardwick (or the celebrity of your choice).
3) Convince him/her to wear it on a nationally aired show, like Attack of the Show on G4.
4) Profit, rinse, repeat.

*2.a) If it’s a comedian, consider showing up for a few shows and be seen laughing at all the right spots. Fans tend to get better access. Offer to buy a few extra CD’s if they agree to wear your shirt.

If you don’t have the gumption to go thru all of that effort, you can take the express route and buy the shirt

Alright guys, today I want to feature one of my personal favorite brands. From the good city of LA, we have Acrylick. I like this brand not only because their designs are awesome, but also because each one has positive meaning behind them (and not too difficult to determine). For example, my favorite tee of theirs, “Strength in Numbers,” is all about….. well its pretty obvious. But i love how many different interpretations one can get from it. People need a reminder about what true power is, especially with all the shit going on in our world today.

Every shirt Acrylick makes has a meaning to go along with it and its all spelled out for us on their website. Their meaning for “Strength in Numbers” goes like this:

One voice can truly make a difference, but many voices together can change the world. This design focuses on this idea. Its creation was intended to show how making a change is possible. It affirms that strength is sometimes in the numbers. If something in the world is seen as unjust and needs to be changed, that change can occur. If enough voices speak up on the matter in question, the change will happen.

How true is that?? I strongly encourage you guys to check out their website and see what else they have. They also carry a nice a supply of women’s tees. Check out their look-book and their blog on their website here or take a better look at “Strenght in Numbers” for only $26.

Catching up on some great t-shirts submitted this week and can’t leave out this one from oft-featured Ruby Red Designs:

This design “features Jawa Coffee, a medium dark roast that is best best served Hoth! A perfect sipping coffee for the dusty climate of Tatooine. It’s a vintage style design that harks back to the classic metal advertising signs from times gone by. It ties in nicely with the recycling, scavenging nature of the Jawa.”

Nobody does a better job of regularly blending Star Wars inspired designs with hip t-shirts, but Roger also regularly puts together some great pop culture tees.

Check ‘em all out here or grab Jawa Coffee starting at $26.

I always wondered why a TV channel would sometimes run a movie about 1000 times in a week. I think they buy the rights for a period of time and have to get their money’s worth, so they play it so many times that you can’t avoid watching it. The last few weeks, It was the movie, “Airplane” on a channel that I can’t recall.

It’s an old movie, but it’s a funny one.

I remember entering in a BMX race one. I used a friends card to enter and lined up at the gate. When it dropped, I did bicycle equivalent of tripping and falling down a hill. When I regained my bearings, all I could remeber was feeling a few tires bumping into my helmet. Ahh..those were the days!

Re-live them with me buy picking up this shirt.

I’m on the fence with this one. Part of me thinks this is an internet meme unfolding before my very eyes. The other part thinks that this is actually a legitimate attempt to win the top spot in the government of one of our southern states. If it’s the latter, then stranger things have happened in politics.

Who is Basil Marceaux, you say?

I didn’t really understand what his platform is based on, but if I lived in Tennessee, I could say that I voted for Basil. Since I don’t, this shirt is the next best option.
