The February Freeze

This is the current view outside the S.D.F.C. right now. Gorgeous isn't it? There's something about a heavy snowfall which stirs the imagination and teleports you back to simpler less stressful times. The snow has been threatening to fall for some time now and after a week of just slightly cold weather the temperature dropped and the the white stuff came down. Apparently in Aviemore it plummeted to -18 on Sunday evening.

However, no matter how cold it is outside things have been heating up nicely inside, as we've been hard at work getting new designs printed and uploaded onto the website. You can view them below:

Lone Pine Mall - Back To The Future

V8 Interceptor Wanted - Mad Max 2

Jaws Cast List - Jaws

Last Of The Independents - Charley Varrick

That is all.

Plagiarist Express

There is nothing more annoying in life than having your hard work stolen and some other cretin take the glory for the time and energy you invested.

As t-shirt designers we know how common a problem plagiarism can be, but when a movie director claims the limelight for a product he quite clearly ripped off, action must be taken.

Here's a guy who we imagine would be, like every other film director, overly protective of his own creative work but David Gordon Green, director of the new Seth Rogen comedy Pineapple Express, doesn't quite see it that way when it comes to other people's intellectual property.
In the movie James Franco's character wears a t-shirt with the print of a great white shark devouring a kitten, a design which was first released in 2005 by WOWCH. But in a recent interview Franco states that David Green designed the t-shirt and after WOWCH chatted with the movie's lawyers it appears they don't have any hope of recieving even an apology. This is mainly because the design has been reversed and darkened slightly!!!

There is no other word for this kind of behaviour, it's theft. The guys over at WOWCH worked hard to come up with an original design and now the t-shirt which they created is about to be part of what looks like a popular cult movie, only the director is claiming it as his own. That's low in anyone's books. What's even worse is WOWCH only now want some free passes to see Pineapple Express and some popcorn when they get there and that looks doubtful too.

Long Time, No Hear

It's been far too long since our last entry but things here at the State Dept Of Fashion Corrections have been hectic, to say the least. Firstly a big thank you to all of our customers for their gracious feedback about our products, along with pics of them enjoying their new favourite t-shirts, keep them coming.

You'll be happy to hear we have a fresh batch of new designs sitting in Solitary right now awaiting release in the next few days, including a cracking tribute to a certain 70s cult movie featuring a street brawler and his pet orangutan. So if you haven't subscribed to our newsletter then keep checking our website for updates. We are also planning on re-arranging the site before 2007 bids us farewell, with a more interactive theme and gallery feature, which we have been threatening to do for some time now.

Also a few of the inmates have been indulging in the odd orange flavoured KitKat with their tea and coffee, they are surprisingly delicious and come highly recommended.


That Is All

Our Gremlins T-shirts

After watching Joe Dante's 80's classic creature feature Gremlins recently, we put our heads together and came up with the following two designs for tribute tees. They will both be uploaded onto our main site for sale shortly. Let us know what you think?

Alec Baldwin Wants To Straighten Your Ass Out.

Hot on the hells of the Baldwingate scandal, that every celebrity website seems to be obsessed about, we bring you our special Alec Baldwin t-shirt to mark the occasion. We really don't see what all the fuss is about, a frustrated and angry parent saying stuff he'll later regret, who hasn't done that before. It's not like he was caught existing cars flashing his junk, or was snapped with coke spread all over his naked chest, or shaved his head and went nutzoid in rehab, or leaked a hardcore sex tape onto the internet or any other like minded behaviour suited only to those who are idolised and held in high regard by society today.
