Geek Apparel of the Week: Star Wars ’08
Since the economy is screwed and we’re all going to hell in a handbasket anyways, there’s only one election that really matters?the Rebel Party or the Imperial Party. Zazzle has these and dozens more Star Wars/election themed shirts, including the Obama-inspired “A New Hope,” “Vote [Your Name] for Grand Moff ’08” and many more (oh, there’s an AT-ST Imperial Party shirt too, if you prefer it over the AT-AT, in which case we can’t be friends because AT-ATs fucking rule). You can get any of them in a variety of styles, colors, or as buttons and mugs?look, just go here, I can’t do all the work for you.
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.
