Geek Apparel of the Week: Adult Swim’s Finer Things
Adult Swim has started its own clothing line called Finer Things, and it’s shockingly understated. My favorite is the Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Metalocalypse Murderface socks two-pack for $15, seen above, but make sure to check out the Err and Ignignokt “Weekbender” pants ($75 each), which are hilariously preppy, and the Robot Chicken hoodie ($50), which Adult Swim was kind enough to send me in hopes of me pimping their products, never realizing that I hate the Robot Chicken guys because I used to work with them and am bitterly jealous of their success. Check out all the wares here.
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.
