Do you sweat when you play video games? How about when you eat or get up quickly out of your chair? Sweaty geeks need not worry now that the Pac-Man headband can soak up any unsightly perspiration. Now those man boobs on the other hand—those might be something to worry about.

Sean Fallon — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 07:10:55 +0000

Okay, wearing cycling shorts is fine—if you are in the Tour de France. Otherwise, motorists driving down the road don’t need to see the crack of your ass as you hold up traffic. That having been said, wearing Pink Floyd branded cycling shorts doesn’t help matters—it only makes things weirder. And that goes for the AC/DC, Grateful Dead, Kiss and Rolling Stones versions too.

These beer goggles will do a good job of protecting your eyes when skiing or snowboarding, but I have a feeling that the ugly girl you picked up a the lodge might feel a bit offended if you insist on wearing them during sex.

If you have ever wondered why fights break out at soccer matches or why people wait in anticipation for cars to crash in NASCAR races, I give you the Bernard Pollard Fan Club t-shirt. If you don’t already know, Bernard Pollard is the Kansas City Chiefs safety responsible for tearing Tom Brady’s MCL and ACL last Sunday—taking him out for the season.

Sports make us evil folks. EVIL!

Sean Fallon — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:14:22 +0000

Hungry, content and angry—Homer desires food, he eats, then he feels guilty and angry about his lack of control. It’s a vicious cycle.

Proudly proclaim your fanhood for Liberty City’s favorite baseball team with this Grand Theft Auto IV branded shirt. I wonder what “bat day” would be like in the Swinger’s stadium. Liberty City hookers would have to run for the hills.

Sean Fallon — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 16:20:17 +0000

Thanks to Mic Golf, female golfers in Japan can now stay on the cutting edge of fashion when they wear one of these new Nail Art Golf gloves. As you can see, the designs are stylish and they feature exposed fingertips to highlight their beautifully manicured nails. With the popularity of womens golf rising rapidly, my guess is that it won’t be long before you see something like this in the states.
