Someone finally gets it!

Today I wore my 'PORKCHOP SANDWICHES' shirt to work today, not because I like porkchop sandwiches but because I believe in the right of slacker/hipster media artists to create video art through mashups of cartoons I grew up with that I can watch while at work.

Standing in line in the Dunn Bros. waiting for my coffee and muffin, the woman behind the counter looked at my shirt and said, "Is that shirt from those GI Joe cartoon collages that were on the Internet a while ago?"

Score. First time ever someone has got it. The videos were produced by Fensler Film, which appears to delight in ironic imagery but also makes real things for legitimate clients. Their PSA series takes those short clips that would appear at the end of GI Joe cartoons, in which G.I. Joe, Doctor Mindbender, Clutch, and Cobra Commander walk amongst us, teaching kids not to play with fire, pet growling dogs, play around live, snapping electrical wires, or try to use the stove when mom's not around.

Watch them and then buy your own shirt.
