- Update on our HyperCase3000™ Announcement
- Ah, we had such high hopes! On April 1, 2009, our furniture division announced a radical breakthrough in display technology, the HyperCase3000™. Unfortunately, further testing of the HyperCase3000™ seems to have possibly resulted in a few unforeseen effects: an invasion fleet from Subhive X of Dimension 22 has appeared in orbit (sorry ISS, the US / Russian fight over using the toilet is now the least of your problems!), the misplacement of a few galaxies (not the loss of half the known universe, as some claimed!, and, most disasterous, an unfortunate release of a Trent Reznor / Barry Manilow polka reggae album from an alternate timeline. You can still read the original product announcement, but unfortunately, we will not be shipping any units until these minor issues are resolved. Please stay tuned for further updates!

- Star Trek Movie News
- Star Trek: The Cologne In what may go down as one of the more unusual franchise tie-ins over the years, Genki Wear will be introducing three Star Trek-themed fragrances on April 24th (As Seen on TV)
-
- Tiberius: A masculine scent guaranteed to attract more green-skinned women than a Shatner Turbo 2000 Toupee©, Genki Wear describes the fragrance has having a “warm vanilla, white musk, and sandalwood base.” A special compound also ensures your shirts will rip more easily, revealing your taut, gleaming musculature…
- Pon Farr: A feminine perfume utilizing a discrete blend of Elasian tears and Mudd Pharmaceuticals infamous “Venus” drug (aka, “beer goggles on steroids”), Pon Farr will make inspire men to fight for your affections. Deluxe packaging includes the six-CD boxed set of “K-Tel Presents The Essential T’Pau Collection”.
- Red Shirt: A haunting aroma that simply says, “He’s dead, Jim.” An alluring scent combining eager desperation with warm overtones of cinnamon and crisp smell of ozone just after a warm spring phaser blast. Perfect for the accident prone or those with a self-sacrificing nature
- The White Wiz dude is considering his own line of colognes as well, but the staff seems to disapparate every time he wants to do product testing. Except our intern, Meiko. Poor Meiko. Nice Meiko. Meiko, don’t bite! Bad Meiko.
- In other Star Trek news, author Harlan Ellison has released a press release (already hailed as a true classic of the genre) announcing his lawsuit against Paramount over the City on the Edge of Forever script nearly 42 years after the original air date. Old webserf is old. And decrepit.
