Okay, first...I was the ONLY person I knew here on this side of the country that liked Hello Kitty and wore shirts brought back from California four years ago. Now...Hello Kitty has become quite ubiquitous.
 Where have I been seeing her shirts lately? None other than Hot Topic. I got over that...THEN my best friend and I cut up our gloves and added studs to them and pins...who comes out with almost the EXACT same thing? Hot Topic. More recently, you have all seen the Napoleon Dynamite shirt I made in Graphic Arts (that I designed and printed myself), right? Well, if not, look: It definitely has that one specific liger picture (there are various different ones) and says, "Liˇger: It's like a lion and a tiger mixed...bred for its skills in magic." NOW...look at this one from Hot Topic:  COME ON! Here's the link for the product. I'm just getting so sick of Hot Topic...stealing my ideas.  Okay, yeah. This is a rant. And they can steal ideas from me, seeing as four other people had the liger shirt I made for them. Hot Topic people do suggest ideas for t-shirts. They've told me before.

Yeah, but...like I said...there's not that far of a link from the designers to the managers of stores. I've talked to them before - they request designs and band t-shirts. Hmm...maybe I should copyright my pants:    I couldn't really copyright the Napoleon Dynamite...shirt because I can't get rights to a movie that easily.

Those losers lack the creative think called mind. And if they have one then they lack creativity. If they have creativity they're just stupid.
