Adidas’s “Star Wars Superstar Darth Vader Track Top”

Adidas is expanding from their expansive (currently sold out) Star Wars shoe line into a head to head competition with Marc Ecko’s Star Wars clothing line.

Adidas’s Vader Jacket is flashy - and no one can deny the appeal of a removable cape. But the Ecko Vader Jacket succeeds in simplicity and subtlety. If you don’t zip up the Vader Mask (which is hella creepy), it could pass as a regular hoodie that only your nerd brethern would give you a knowing nod for.

I wonder how many other versions of things Ecko is already making Adidas will try their hand at. Ecko has had a lot of missteps in his line (truly ugly shit), he has also had some amazing successes (see: all the hoodies). Either way, more fodder for us fans!

Storm Troopers doing anything with character is hilarious (exhibit A).
Storm Troopers as Vader’s back up dancers for an amazing rendition of “You Can’t Touch This”? Pure awesome.
Storm Troopers and Darth Vader doing Thriller? Well, you’ll have to see below.

*Alternate title: “Vader don’t hurt ‘em”

After years spent building up a cult of personality, Ian Pool has torn it all away with his photo expose “Super”. He might as well have put a question mark on the end of that title, as he reveals all the humiliating behind-the-scenes moments your favorite heroes and villains have spent years trying to hide. Gird your innocence if you choose to look at the rest of these intimate photos.

God. Where do I even begin.

Not everything has to be sexy.
Sure, I can see Sexy Nurse or Sexy Burglar or even Sexy Zombie.
But this guy? C’mon people. Put it back in your pants.

(if you think I’m wrong or would like to shop the rather cute Star Trek corsets, go here)
