The Christmas shopping season 2009 is shaping up to be the year that alternative celebrities finally embrace their repressed capitalistic urges and start marketing themselves beyond their chosen craft. The cast from
Its Always Sunny gave us the
Dick Towel,
Weezer has slapped their name on the
Snuggie, and now
The Flaming Lips have bestowed upon us
Silver Trembling Fetus Hanging Christmas Tree Ornament. The introductory video boasts
Wayne Coyne dressed in a festive skull embroidered Christmas sweater surrounded by tinsel and all the holiday trimmings. The fetus ornament comes in a "very cool cosmic collection designer box" and evidently "has the potential to make you smarter". Boy, what a salesman, I bet Billy Mayes and the baby Jesus are smiling down on him right now. I hope Santa drops one in my stocking, hey I've been good, no nudie bubble videos weighing on my conscience this year, Wayne.... -
