Geek Apparel of the Week: Evil Robot T-Shirt
Ladies and gentlemen, and I just found my perfect geek shirt. It’s stylish. It’s simple. It directly references an old toyline/cartoon, without spelling it out so people know you’re a nerd. It is, in a word, perfection.
May I present you with the Evil Robot shirt? If you don’t recognize this little design, then go away and let me talk to my fellow Masters of the Universe nerds. Yea, my brothers, this is indeed the sticker from Faker‘s chest, the one hidden under his orange chestplate. I simply cannot stand how awesome this is. The best part is you can wear it, and no one will ever know that you’re an evil robot (although having blue skin might raise some concern). Order it here from the geniuses at The Super Designs.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
