Let’s keep the hip hop/Mouse House mash-ups going a little longer, shall we? Here’s a lovely little t-shirt for the ladies featuring some suggestive slang that doubles as a declaration of Disney love.
Planning a trip to Disneyland?
Getting away to Walt Disney World?
This tee will either offend everyone in your ‘Small World’ boat or draw similarly sick minds into your social circle.

Christmas is just around the corner. You’re struggling to find the perfect presents for the folks on your list. Loved ones are easy. You could probably pick a hundred ‘perfect presents’ for them. But what about the folks whose names are way, way down at the bottom of your list? The co-workers you can’t stand? The family members you’ve been damned to interacting with for the rest of your life? The filthy next-door neighbor you know is going to give you a zip-lock bag full of homemade cookies that you wouldn’t even eat as part of a suicide pact? Buying for them is HARD.
No longer!
Skunk & Burning Tires has put together a list of the Top 5 Most Disturbing Disney Toys. These totems to tastelessness are not only good for a cheap laugh, they make the perfect passive-aggressive present for those folks you’re only gifting out of guilt.

Q: What’s the only toy more unsanitary than the ‘Ratatouille Kitchen Chaos Playset’?

(Or: This Is My Childhood, Mashed-Up & Merchandised)
I’m conflicted.
About these mash-ups, I mean.
On the one hand, artist James Zark has combined two things I’ve LOVED since I was a kid: Punk rock and X-Men. On the other hand, seeing them plastered on everything from t-shirts to tote bags to coffee mugs feels a bit…off.
X-Men is all about individuality, right? And a big part of punk rock was the idea of not “selling out.” So mashing them together and then merchandising them indiscriminately — I can’t be the only one who finds it a li’l ironic, can I?
I can?
Damn.
Then without further ado, ‘Never Mind The Mutants: Here’s the X-Pistols!’
Laptop decals are the wacky socks of the tech set — a store bought way to proclaim one’s individuality whilst continuing to conform to societal norms.
Sound harsh?
Well, if it makes you feel any better, it was actually a lecture aimed squarely at ME. Cuz you know what I just spent the last half hour doing? Searching online for an animation-themed laptop decal…while wearing garishly striped socks.
So what better way to turn lemons into lemonade (or in this case, a secret shame into a public post) than to share my favorite finds with you!
M-I-C
See? There ARE badass Mickey Mouse tees.
K-E-Y?
Why? Cuz not all Disney fans want to look like they bought their swag at Wal-Mart.
M-O-U-S-E!!!
Now that it’s only adults reading comic books, comics’ merchandising has had to follow suit. Gone are the Kenner toys and Underoos of yesteryear. In their place are X-Men Mazdas and $3000 Iron Man home theater displays. Ah, but those are just the ‘official,’ big-ticket tie-ins. Business is also booming in the humbler home goods market . Heck, there’s even a sub-section of this market made up entirely of HOMEMADE home goods — and it’s thriving!
Shown below are some of the more inspired superhero housewares currently available on Etsy. They’re not only charming as all get out, they’re CHEAP!

These three personality-packed stunners are from a limited line of “mini-busts” created by Grand Jester Studios. While their prohibitive pricing will keep me from ever actually owning one, I wanted to post these pics because of some very interesting choices made by the manufacturer.

Seeing as how you’re sitting around, lazily browsing a pop culture website and not out ballroom dancing or walking red carpets, I’m guessing fancy clothes ain’t your thing.
Coincidence! Me, either!
T-shirts are my preferred gut covering. In fact, unless I’m attending a funeral or legal proceeding, they’re my ONLY gut covering. Still, one can’t just wear ANY t-shirt. They’ve gotta speak to your personality. Your likes. Your dislikes. Your current obsessions and your lifelong loves. Your favorite memes and your unrealized dreams. Basically anything and everything that makes you YOU.
Posted below are a few recent favorites.
