Absurdist Pro-Science T-Shirts for Every Occasion

Since we were just talking the other day about how intelligent design theory has been creeping into popular culture via movies like The Happening, it's only fitting that we supply you with an antidote to such culture. Amorphia Apparel, known throughout the galaxy for their absurdist tees devoted to mad science and runaway pterodactyls (see below for a gallery), has just created a special line of tees for the ID cause. In the pro-ID movie Expelled, Ben Stein urged people to "teach the controversy" which is ID. These shirts urge you to teach all kinds of controversies, such as UFOs building the pyramids (my fave) and Atlantis existing under the ocean. Check out more goodness from Amorphia below. More »

Minimalist Scifi T-Shirts Are Subtle and Awesome

A design company called Atomic Tarantula has just launched a line of scifi-themed t-shirts that look like cool, minimalist art until you give them a second glance. At first, you'll think this tee design is merely a neat, stylized image of Sputnik. But the lettering says "Spocknik," a mashup word that combines Spock, Sputnik, and Beatnik and somehow evokes a surly hipster Star Trek fan with a World War II iconography fixation. Check out some more cool Atomic Tarantula designs below, including ones that refer to the Tyrell Corp. in Bladerunner, and a really cool portrait of the HAL-9000. More »

Five SciFi T-Shirts That Will Get You In Trouble At Airports

A Transformers fan was singled out by Heathrow airport security for wearing a t-shirt with a print of Optimus Prime wielding a gun. The fan was told that his shirt was offensive because of the gun and he couldn't board the plane unless he changed. Wha? First of all it's Optimus Prime, the GOOD guy: If something is going down on a plane, I'm looking to the guy with the Autobots T-shirt. Second, I really would rather airport security be checking people's bags and not their cotton tops. In case you want to show solidarity with this beleaguered fan, we've got five other weapony scifi tees you can wear to the airport. Or not wear, depending on your willingness to tangle with overzealous officials. More »
