The Art of a Good Pop Culture T-Shirt
While browsing several funny t shirts websites looking for the right references to inaugurate the summer season with, I came across a “Kuato Lives” shirt that instantly found its way into the shopping cart. For all you punks whom that phrase gets lost on, Kuato was the leader of the mutant rebellion on Mars in the Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi classic Total Recall. You might have even seen that movie a couple times and not remember that.
Which is okay, in fact, it’s desirable. Because a good pop culture t-shirt is less about creating a sense of collective appreciation towards a timeless figure like a cereal mascot and more about stamping yourself for a day as a devoted fan of something obscure, and waiting, sometimes hoping, for ardent fellow fans to reveal themselves to you. It isn’t much fun if everybody that walks by you points and laughs at the irony of Mr. Rogers’s face on a grown-ups shirt. But walking amongst the mob clad in a shirt that projects an obscure reference is exciting. The difference is much like the difference between shooting fish in a barrel and fishing; if you have to wait three hours before you hear someone shout “Kuato Lives!” instead of being bombarded with eyeballs and comments constantly, it feels a lot like the triumph of a good catch over easy pickings.
The art is as much on the part of the buyer as it is on the part of the seller/designer. Funny and pop culture-themed t-shirt makers make their bread and butter on the clever ways they can tie a mainstream icon or beloved character into a fun and exciting shirt design, and being able to discern what is befitting of a Father’s Day gift and what would make a great shirt for you to wear takes some skill. Consider a subject as universal and universally well known as the Star Wars films. A shirt with a picture of a pig wearing Corellian blood stripe pants and a vest with the words “Ham Solo” above him is admittedly funny (does such a shirt exist?) but that’s not the subtle reference that makes a great pop culture shirt for someone wanting a challenge in the rise they get out of those around them. As far as Star Wars goes, something along the lines of “A Wampa Ate My Baby” might suffice.
Since most funny t –shirt websites price their shirts between 13 to 20 dollars, it’s wise to consider whether or not you’ll like the attention you’re going to get with that particular shirt. If you’re like me, you prefer only the occasional attention paid, and want to proudly display your pop culture reference, if only so that 99% of people don’t even get it.
FYI to all you mutants out there, that Kuato Lives shirt was found at Crazy Dog T Shirts
Smoking Bans Extending to Outdoor Spaces
Smoking bans became a subject of heated debated as cities across the US began to limit smoking in bars and restaurants. In St. Louis, districts apart of the greater St. Louis area, had their own votes for smoking bans, and all voted for bans against smoking in restaurants and bars that sell more food than alcohol. While some bars still have smoking, this has cut off a large amount of business and smoker-friendly locations. New York City took it a step further by banning smoking in outdoor public spaces. Many critics are debating whether smoking bans are pushing limits on citizen rights. Although the ban has been the subject of dispute, other cities are considering a similar ban on public smoking, which could mean fewer smoker friendly spaces inside or outside across the nation.
The smoking bans in New York was a part of a plan by Mayor Michael Bloomberg to eliminate smoking in the city, due to affect on personal health, environment, and the surrounding population. Health Commissioner Thomas A. Farley, for the city of New York, said the ban will protect the vulnerable, such as asthma sufferers and children. The elected officials also hope the ban will cut the amount of litter in the city. The first ban removed smoking of cigarettes and cigars from bars an restaurants, and the next ban was for outdoor public spaces, including parks, boardwalks, beaches, and the pedestrian hangout in Times Square. A bill to create separate smoking areas in the park did not pass, but the laws will not affect public sidewalks, at this time.
Massive campaign plans by anti-smoking organizations has led to 21 states with outdoor smoking legislation in limbo, although some doctors have pointed out there is no scientific research that links outdoor smoking to the harmful effects of indoor smoking for the environment or secondhand exposure.
Some smokers have found other ways to continue the habits through the smoking bans by using electronic cigarettes. Some cities are debating the ban of these products as well, even though they don’t emit smoke like a regular cigarette. Argentina has already banned the use, import, and advertisement for the product by citing the lack of proof that e-cigarettes help smokers quit. However, e-cigarettes are still popular in the UE and the US, and are the only exception to the smoking ban.
As smoking bans gain momentum in the US and the research on the effects of cigarettes and alternative products expands, there will be either an increase in laws or a backlash against the legislation.

Twitter Being Sued by Footballer over Super Injunction
It seems as though Twitter is being sued for letting its users talk about a certain footballer and Imogen Thomas. The footballer had a super injunction in the UK, so the reports couldnt be released in the papers, but now it has been leaked everywhere all over Twitter.
It does seem however that Imogen Thomas (the model in this controversy) is trying to make a lot of money out of the situation and doesnt really care too much about the footballer or the affair. Bit of a slapper!

Mass Effect 3 Images?
Supposed Mass Effect 3 artwork has appeared online
Putting on our rumour-busting top hats for a second, it’s not clear whether the art here has been supplied for the game or if its an artists’ own fan work, but it certainly looks quality enough to be legitimate. After no even too much closer inspection, with something of a cell shaded look to them, they’re clearly the fan art of a one Robert Simons.
Mass Effect 3 is well overdue a reveal, so it’s not entirely out of the question that these images are planned for an upcoming magazine feature, ala the leaked Resistance images.
