Remember that lunatic that stabbed a guy at Comic-Con in the eye with a pen? Well, if you happened to be at the event and managed to escape without being stabbed in the eye, I have a shirt for you.

Even if you didn’t attend, the shirt still applies. I mean, you were alive when Comic-Con was going on right? So, you survived through the period of time that Comic-Con was going on without getting stabbed in the eye by an attendee. Good for you.

Little is known about this hoodie except for the fact that it popped up in the Tron booth at San Diego Comic-Con 2010, and has “has a pretty blinking light-up disc thingy”. Thankfully its existence has been validated by this photo and the quick video posted after the break.

Before you get too excited, no—these  Tron sneakers from adidas don’t actually have embedded lights. It uses “glow in the dark stitch detailing and reflective TRON disk screenprints to echo the lighting, color schemes and self-illuminated costumes featured in the film.”

Interesting…because the black shoes shouldn’t “glow” blue. But I digress…

So, from the right angle, your shoes will look straight out of Flynn’s Arcade. And pairing them with one of these glow-in-the-dark Tron hoodies is a must. Look for the shoes to arrive in December 2010.

Details are still a but fuzzy, but word is that two Comic-Con attendees got into an argument this past Saturday over whether one was sitting too close to the other in a crowded room. The argument resulted in the guy pictured here stabbing the other near the eye with a pen.

Rumor has it that the injuries were minor, but images and video of the suspect clearly show him wearing a blood-stained Harry Potter shirt similar to the ones currently sold at at Hot Topic.

Seriously, when a nerd wearing a Harry Potter shirt gets violent, you know something needs to be done about crowd control. Perhaps it’s time to move to a bigger venue.
