Hey, Browncoats, It’s a… Brown Coat
 |
?Yes, Firefly fans, you can believe your eyes — you can now own Captain Mal’s coat, even if you’re not Captain Mal. This designer replica is made of 100% real suede, itself made entirely from calves slaughtered by Fox executives during their dark rituals; it also has brass buttons, which is pretty cool. Thanks to the machinations of Geek Girl Diva, who alerted me to the coat’s existence, it’s currently on sale for $319, plus you get free shipping if you enter EETWEET12 in the coupon code. Buy it here before I purchase them all to wipe my mouth off after I suck Joss Whedon’s dick (beat you to it, dickweeds).
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.
