Signs Of The Coming Apocalypse: Kabbalah Onesies

categories: clothing

kabbalists_onesie.jpgSet aside for a minute the news, the floods, the hurricanes, the wars and rumors of wars, the destruction at our very doorsteps. If ever there were a sign that our world is ripe to be dealt a hand of divine retribution, it's right here: Kabbalah onesies.

These onesies have been approved by the LA Kabbalah Center. Kabbalah teaches one to look within and find the good in oneself - to concentrate on one's own strengths rather than being jealous of others' successes. It's a great lesson in this Material World - one that you're never too young to learn.
The caps on "Material World" almost certainly refer to Kabbalah's great profit, er prophet/pitchwoman, Madonna, who, we are told, "donned 'Kabbalists do it better' for the tour!" !? ?? !!!!

Kabbalah onesies are $19.95 from Babesta. The Kabbalah Center needs you to buy 10,000 of them by October in order to make the rabbi's next boat payment.

They're Coming For Your Che Guevara Onesie

categories: clothing

che_onesie.jpgNo, not the uber-capitalist trademark enforcers from Gerber, the uber-capitalist trademark enforcers from Marxist revolutionary rebel Che Guevara's relatives.

While squabbling with each other over who owns the copyright to the Korda photo of Che that became the world-famous stencil, Guevara's family members are vowing to fight unauthorized commercial use of the image around the world. [Uh, never mind that Korda's heirs own the copyright? And that the stencil, which arguably made the photo famous, was created by Jim Fitzpatrick. So get in line, Senora Guevara.]

Anyway, Appaman is still making their sweet Che bodysuits for kids, this season they're in a mushroom or powder blue, and Babesta has last fall's orange ones for $25. Get them before a flotilla of Cuban lawyers lands at Coney Island and starts serving Appaman with cease&desist orders.
