Yikes, sorry for the dearth of updates as of late—it’s been a busy couple of weeks for all of us. We hope to be posting more regularly in the upcoming week!
Anyway, on to the real news. Remember back when Hot Topic started selling those t-shirts that looked suspiciously like Seibei’s Sandwich Dinosaur? As you might remember, that issue fortunately got resolved relatively amicably; unfortunately, it seems as though something funny is up at Hot Topic yet again:
Some of you may recognize the bottom image as Lil’ Soap, a Threadless design by Jess Fink that’s been around for quite a while. The suspiciously similar design immediately above it is a rip that’s up for sale at Hot Topic.
If you’re interested, you can read Jess’s reaction to the matter at her LiveJournal. She’s also written about it at You Thought We Wouldn’t Notice. Finally, you can find a brief yet interesting discussion on the matter in the comments section at this Fleen post.

I think the most disturbing part of this is that there seems to be a great deal of soap out there that is fixated on my butt. I feel like I should get a restraining order.
The typography in the New Breed Girl rip-off is so stale…
I would never wear this myself, but for a ladies t shirt I think it is pretty funny. Not sure if it is a rip off because I have never seen it before but it is somewhat funny. Good for a quick smile and not much after that.
