Geek Apparel of the Week: Dark Ssside and Care for Tomorrow

?? A mash-up of Darth Vader and Cobra Commander? I believe the words are FUCK and YESSS. It’s only $10 and it’s only available today on Ript. Ript, I want more of these shirts. Hell, Hasbro — I want actual figures, too. Get on it.

?? I thought I’d throw TR‘s female readers a bone with this Care Bears shirt (not to intimate that nerd girls can’t possibly care about Star Wars and G.I. Joe, of course, but that girls will likely be more interested in a Care Bears shirt, plus it only comes in women’s sizes). At the very least, you can use it to tell other TR readers — if they see your shirt and look away in revulsion, or perhaps even throw up, they’re almost certainly remembering a Care Bear FFF. It’s $32 at Junk Food.
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.
