T-Shirt Of The Week #004: SPACE BASTARD

Ariana set up a Cafe Press store (because this is a joke and engaging with a serious maker of t-shirts would be less funny to us), and… well, once a week, here we are.

Apple Files Patent On Evil
Apple has filed for patent on a technology they call an "enforcement routine," that'll display ads on pretty much any device with a screen and demand that you view them — or else you don't get your device back:
Its distinctive feature is a design that doesn't simply invite a user to pay attention to an ad — it also compels attention. The technology can freeze the device until the user clicks a button or answers a test question to demonstrate that he or she has dutifully noticed the commercial...

Because Ariana's sliiiightly crazy, she's created a free HAPPY()SAD theme for Tumblr users. This is, of course, based on the HAPPY()SAD t-shirt she and Rich Stevens released yesterday.
