The merchandise opportunities for classic shows like
Star Trek has been outlandish, to say the very least.
You can show your financial love for
Star Trek by buying
Star Trek toys,
Star Trek apparel,
Star Trek cell phones,
Star Trek Pez dispensers,
Star Trek burial coffins,
Star Trek living room furniture
and even
Star Trek erotic theme art. Don't click that last link if you're at work, school or don't really want to know what James Doohan would look like spread eagle on a Tribble skin rug.
Now the folks at
Genki Wear, a geek themed jewelry manufacturer, have helped the Enterprise explore a strange new world of merchandising and seek out new lifeline accounts and financial liquidations with a line of
Star Trek-inspired cologne and perfumes.

All big movies - and some smaller ones - have a lot of promotional merchandise, but this is one of the more strange ones:
they're coming out with a Star Trek cologne.
So...many...jokes.It's just some of the merchandise for the new
Star Trek movie coming later this spring. You can have your dolls and your coffee mugs and your mouse pads and your posters, the real Trekkie man will be wearing either Tiberius (that's Kirk's middle name), Pon Farr (Vulcan horniness), or Red Shirt (they're the guys that always, um, die when they beam down to another planet). No word yet on whether Tiberius will smell more like William Shatner or more like Chris Pine.
Why would
Star Trek fans need a cologne? They don't go on dates! (Just kidding.)
What other TV shows deserve their own cologne? What kind of cologne does Frank on
30 Rock wear?

(S04E02) The Office is a lot like the New England Patriots. I know that sounds strained, but hear me out: like
The Office, the Pats are a cut above the competition. They have a great collection of role-players that excel at usually thankless positions, and they have a few break-out stars who are smart enough to realize that their success hinges very much on those role players. The coaching staff, like the producers of
The Office, are second-to-none, never settling and always striving to do better.
They're both so good at what they do, it makes their missteps all the more glaring. We all know what the Pats
did wrong. To find out where tonight's
Office went awry, you'll have to follow me after the jump...
