If you're not familiar with Arcane Tees, you may have missed a post or three by Rob in which they were given away to fortunate readers. I'm pleased to announce that we're continuing that tradition. Here are a few of their recent wares, including a Child's Play toy company logo short, a familiar line-up of scum and villainy, and the best Four Lions in-joke ever (seriously, seek out that movie if you haven't seen it).

Now, here's the contest...
In the spirit of Play Pals Toys and Rubber Dinghy Rapids amusement park, write me (in comments below) a press release or an internal memo from a fictional business - that you've seen in a movie, game, TV show or any other geek media - which is attempting to do damage control based on a recent incident involving their product/venue/etc.
Enter as many times as you like. The contest closes March 18th, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. If you do not have a My Voice Nation account, please give me a way to contact you if you win. There will be two winners, and each may pick the shirt of his or her choice.

Mr Skywalker,
First, your R2 unit has been repaired and is ready to be picked up. Once again let us congrate you on destroying the Death Star. We owe you our lives. With that being said we were quite disgusted with your request to see if there was any other, "secret" holograms of the Princess in it's holo-projector memory. We hope you think about what you were asking! You know, she is someone's sister!

Do you see how I spelled congratulate as congrate (which I'm almost positive how they would spell it in the Star Wars universe) Way to go me!

Re: Premature Megazord Assembly
This notification is to clarify once again that a Megazord should not be assembled until absolutely necessary. If an enemy engages you in hand-to-hand combat, you should not respond by immediately summoning all Zords and assembling a Megazord - our protocol is to fight the enemy to a stand-still until they are forced to escalate the conflict, usually becoming super-sized, launching explosives and destroying part of the city. Only when said explosives have knocked you into a full 360 degree flip in the air may you escalate to the calling of your assigned Zords.
The enemy must be faced by individual Zords for a full minute at least, allowing each individual Power Ranger to face mortal danger. When at least one Zord has been sufficiently damaged and one minute has passed, only then may you assemble the Megazord and easily defeat the enemy.
I understand the frustration many of you have voiced, but it has always been the policy of the Power Rangers Coalition to never escalate a fight prematurely nor to disallow at least some property damage in every skirmish.
If you have any problems with this policy, please remember that we have proven time and again that you can be replaced very easily.
Thank you for all you do!
Go go Power Rangers!

Yes I realize that we will be taking a bulk of the rebellion fleet to the Death Star. This will be a one shot deal. No mistakes. While I appreciate Wedge Antilles service and his experience attacking the first Death Star I think I'm going to go with the new guy. You know the guy who came in with the Princess last year. Been in and out. He'll be fine.

I agree with your assessment. This is a clear case of homicide if I have seen one. Doctor Gillian Taylor was last seen on the security cameras at the Cetacean Institute in Sausalito. There she had an altercation with one of the other employees. Obviously the two mystery vagabonds are in collusion with your suspect. Even if you don't get a conviction you basically will ruin this guys life which is better then what that murderer deserves. When you are done I should could use your help with this hospital thing. We are stumped.

As you know I take all crime seriously. From murder to shoplifting I protect this city.

I'm sure these accusations are being made by disgruntled employees and if you give me their names I will be sure to see that it stops.

If my calculations are correct you are receiving this letter just after Marty has returned back from the future and you are using my letter to determine what parts you will need to fix the Delorean.

I'm going to go to the future, get parts to convert a train into a flying time machine, then I will return the Delorean (with the new parts removed) back in the cave.
Thanks!

In response to the number one question all of you are asking, the reason the official work uniform is a sexy bikini is because of the fact that the majority of all the criminals you will chasing are male, and will be considerably distracted by your figure, legs, cleavage, and wondering why your breasts don't pop out of your top. This is a considerable help when facing down a male or lesbian suspect. YES! We are aware that there are male gay perps out there but they will be distracted by the fact that you will be busy shooting at them.
Any sexual contact with any perps is ill advised: Your sex life is your own and is part of your off-duty life. HOWEVER! If you have to use your sexuality to get closer to a perp, then do so. If taking off your top will distract a suspect long enough to arrest him, then do so.
In reference to Kei and Yuri, the "Dirty Pair", the main reason they are still working for the WWWA is because they have a knack for surviving disasters that incinerate entire worlds: NOT because they are sleeping with higher-ups, which is nothing more than a rumor anyway.

Monkeyboys,
In light of current events in and around our New Jersey factory, we here at YPS feel the need to clarify a few points to ressure all our customers of our continued goal of being this dimension's leading source of the stuff we provide for national defense. Since our founding in 1938, YPS has been a family company with set goals, and we don't plan on letting that change, just because the CRIMINAL Buckaroo Banzi came into our factory and messed our stuff up.
You'll be happy to know these things:
1) Repairs to our factory are going good. The Bivouac is repaired, and the Shok Tower will be up and running soon.
2) Work continues on the Sekrit Truncheon bomber.
3) We are expanding our factory! Come see the big hole in the wall! We're gonna build more stuff there.
4) Our bosses, Lord John Worfin and John Bigboote, are away at a coporate retreat or training, or something, so you won't see them around here.
In conclusion, everything is A-OK here at Yoyodyne, don't worry about us!
Yoyodyne! Where the future begins tomorrow!

INTERNAL MEMO - DEATH STAR MOBILE SPACE STATIONS INCORPORATED
TO: ALL DEATH STAR PERSONELLE
FROM: TK421
STATUS: URGENT
___________________________________________________________________________________
As you may know, someone has removed the protective covering for the exhaust port, right below the main port. While I am confident that this was intended to be a harmless prank, this port is in fact vital to the structural integrity of our space station. I need not remind you that intelligence suggests that Rebel troops are planning an assault as soon as next Thursday. Should the guilty party (or parties) be found out without admission they will be dealt with by Lord Vader personally.
Also, a mandatory marksmanship workshop will be held on Wednesday, March 5. All Stormtroopers must Attend.
Thank you for your attention. I look forward to resolving this issue quickly.

STATUS: URGENT
___________________________________________________________________
This is a reminder that the exhaust port cover MUST be returned immediately! I need not remind you of the immediacy of this issue as Rebel troops may attack at any time. Until this station is fully operational, we are vulnerable. You have 24 hours to comply or be dealt with with extreme prejudice by Lord Vader himself.
Also, due to the overwhelming lack of response to the marksmanship workshop, another will be scheduled for tomorrow morning at 8 am sharp. Failure to attend will result in immediate demotion.
Thank you.

STATUS: REALLY REALLY URGENT
_____________________________________________________________It has been brought to my attention that it was I who mistakenly removed the exhaust port. I thought it was a garbage can lid and placed it in the trash compactor. A new one will be delivered as soon as possible, however they are on back order. They cannot ensure delivery until on or around May 25.
Also, due to the fact that I accidentally wrote the wrong date on my calendar, the marksmanship workshop has been rescheduled for this coming Tuesday. All Stormtrooper personelle are required to attend.
I need not remind you how important it is that we are able to defend this space station in the likely event of a Rebel attack due to the missing exhaust port cover and the fact that the main laser cannon is not yet operational.
Thank you.

Dear citizens of planet Earth,
As the founder of this company, I have prided myself on sparing no expense when it comes to providing you with the most advanced products and services possible in a variety of fields. That's the only fair exchange I can offer in return for your loyal patronage. I am disheartened to hear that The Daily Planet has been called into question the legality of both my company's opperations and my private life.

But unlike Wayne Enterprises, I refuse to lie to you. Relationships thrive upon honesty & integrity.
So in answer to your various inquiries and allegations, I am currently devising a plan to kill Superman once and for all. Following completion of this goal, I shall expand my control over Earth and the rest of the cosmos. I will gladly spare the lives of the other Justice League members, provided that they do not intervene. I do not need to justify my actions to you. Please do not attempt to oppose me.

I'm going to have the Deck Officer remove the ship's ID from the computer's auto docking protocols. Unfortunately that means I've got to fill out that stupid long form and it will sit in their in-box for a while. So it probably won't be done until after were done conquering this planet.

Tansul: It's not cockamany. This way we don't have to depend on sending a signal through alien space satellite.

Sinburt: He actually built some. You should see them. He also thinks were going to wear little one's on our arms!!
Gelbre: Why? GOF (giggling on floor)
Tansul: Shut up! It's a great idea!
Sinburt: We'd have to reset them every time we slowed down before the medium ships separated! It's easier just to use a decaying signal. Besides, it's not that big of deal. We just shoot the big lasers and move on.
Gelbre: So did you get the protection program for our main computer updated and working yet Tansul?
Sinburt: He's been too busy making those time things.
Tansul: I'll do it after this planet!!
Sinburt: Speaking of. I've got to get ready to release, I have one of the big targets.
Gelbre: So do you think they will try to communicate.

Metal fatigues Inc.
From: Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems, LLC
To our valued customers
In light of several unseemly rumors concerning the (mis)use of our starship warp propulsion products, Yoyodyne LLC™ feels the need to restate the following:
•There is no known "special" form of Dilithium that "remains stable at higher warp frequencies." This is a common misconception—engine core Dilithium is not effected by higher warp frequencies, but by higher engine power levels needed to produce high warp factors. Do not use uncertified brands of Dilithium in your Yoyodyne™ warp core.
•The definition of Warp Factor 10 as "Infinite Speed" was a decision of the Federation Trans-Warp Factors Restandardization Conference of Stardate 8454.1 and as simply an artifact of the current warp speed measuring metric, chosen for ease of calculation with typical FTL engine operational limits. It is, obviously, possible to attain speeds higher than Warp 9+ without reaching "infinity." But Yoyodyne LLC™ must again, respectfully, reiterate to the public and our customers, it is impossible to travel at infinite speed. Attempting to reach infinity will result in damage to your Yoyodyne™ warp propulsion system, and potential injury or loss of life.
•While the misuse of any warp engine systems by an unqualified operator may produce the risk of serious injury or death, no Yoyodyne™-produced warp engine or any other known starship engine, will mutate, deform, mangle, evolve, "de-evolve," or otherwise transmogrify the user into an "insane acid-breathing salamander monster," or any other type of monster.
•Only allow Starfleet or Yoyodyne™ certified multipsectral engine design technicians to service your Yoyodyne warp engine system. Do not attempt to modify or otherwise "overclock," "hot wire," "Argo-ize," "jailbreak," or perform any other unauthorized design to your Yoyodyne™ warp engine. Doing so will void your Yoyodyne™ warranty, and/or result in injury, death, or loss of corporeality.
