Watchmen Trailer

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

Be sure to catch the Watchmen trailer.  And buy the book before you go see the movie so you know exactly what the heck you’re watching.  You can use discount code “watchmen” to save 12% off your purchase… but ONLY if you’re going to buy the friggin book.  We only have a handful right now, since we can’t keep these things on the shelf to save our lives, but you can get them on sale now… “while supplies last.”

 

 

 

Also, if you want to know a little more about Watchmen… check out this site, the Annotated Watchmen.  More than the most diehard Watchman nut will ever want to know.

OK.. We suck and we know it.

Yes, we suck because we’ve neglected our one source of communication with our public.  So sue us… everyone else and their cousin is.

Well, here’s a low down on some stuff that’s been happening in the Superhero Universe at Superherostuff.com. Number One… We opened a kiosk in Porltand Oregon. It was at the infamous Clackamas Town Center. Why Portland you ask? And why Clackamas, you also ask? Because, Portland is where Superherostuff was first created. And Clackamas was picked because we felt that we’d get shot at Lloyd Center, by Jamall and Tyron, stabbed by Cleotis or even robbed by some transient meth-hippie.

And we just thought that not enough people went to Washington Square Mall to make it worth while, and that they might have been too rich and snooty for our elegant, soft and silky Superhero shirts. But heck, Washington Square had Crocks, so go figure.  Their parking lot’s always filled, but sheesh, I never see them inside, must be at the Cheesecake Factory.

So, we started up on the last weekend of August and had tons of people mob us before we even got the friggin’ kiosk set up.  Made a butt load of cash the first two days and it was all down hill from there.

We had a great location next to some of the hottest Israeli babes you’d lay your eyes on.  I loved it.  ALL of the Israeli women, who sell their Dead Sea Salt hand lotions, are total babes.  Smokin’ HOT.  And they always import a couple tall Russian babes too.  I swear to god, one was a supermodel, so I called her the Russian Supermodel.  I learned some Hebrew, flirted till I had to sit down and fired one employee and almost fired another one, talk about sheer incompetence, but she beat me to the punch.

So, after realizing that the economy underwent a serious meltdown, we realized that sales were simply not going to be enough to make a profit on the November and December’s $7,500/month rent.  Talk about robbery.  Screw that.  We picked up our balls and went home.  Shipped everything back to the warehouse, hugged some Isreali babes and split. 

If you ever want to get into a mall…. We HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest talking to every single store front and kiosk there to get a feel for the management first.  Then talk yourself out of it, unless you’re able to make a greater than 80% margin on your product. 

And the next time you’re in a mall… be nice to the kiosk people.  They work hard, literally ALL Friggin’ day, from open to close.  Many are family businesses.We got a butt load of new product on the site. 

Number Two…. Check it out.  We have some new Urban Wear hero shirts, buy 12 and you get a free AK-47, and some new bad ass pints.

… I forgot what three was, but check out this cool Wonder Woman pic! Not Israeli, but still Smokin’ Hot!
