Yes, We Get It: Star Wars Geek Tattoo

By Great White Snark | August 23, 2010

In a fit of redundancy, a guy named George got a couple of big Star Wars tattoos on his back, and then emblazoned “GEEK” between them.

You know… in case there was any confusion.

Seriously, Japan, Just Stop It: Birthday Cat Is Bored

By Great White Snark | August 23, 2010

I guess it could be worse. They could have put him in a tie with little Hello Kitties all over it.

Via Neatorama, who doesn’t think there’s anything more beautiful than the birth of a LOLCATZ image. Except maybe regular childbirth.

Musky Like A Space Slug: Slave Leia Perfume

By Great White Snark | August 20, 2010

So here’s the $39.99 Slave Leia perfume that materialized as a Star Wars Celebration V “exclusive” this month.

I use the quotes around “exclusive” because, for one, I’m literally quoting the LucasFilm propaganda, and two, the term “exclusive” is used very loosely. As in, “it’s exclusive insofar as you can very much buy it online while not at all having attended Star Wars Celebration”.

Slave Leia Perfume

And if you’re wondering what Jabba’s prized slave girl smells like, I can report that the scent apparently approximates a “mix of cashmere woods, musk and night-blooming jasmine.”

Which sounds about right, once you toss in a bit of sweat-odor and essence of giant space slug. Obviously.

Via Super Punch, who doesn’t toss essence of giant space slug at anything. He’s very considerate, that way.

This can’t go well.

Movie, Shmovie: Scott Pilgrim Characters Simpsonized

By Great White Snark | August 20, 2010

Here’s the fickleness of the geek community, in a nutshell:

I bet if we* started selling t-shirts printed with Simpsonized Scott Pilgrim characters, they would bring in more money than the Scott Pilgrim movie will make this weekend (which is only the second weekend of release).

Scott Pilgrim Simpsonized

Via Total Film, who’s got a whole series of Simpsonized Scott Pilgrim characters from Dean of Springfield Punx.

If you aren’t familiar with Dean’s work: he’s made a name for himself illustrating various popular geeky characters in the artistic style of The Simpsons. He’s like a one-trick-pony who’s figured out the one trick for which the internets will never grow weary.

* And by “we,” I mean “me.” But I’d let you watch.
