Pocket God iPad game stats - how many Pigmies have been squashed by angry gods? ToyFairNY #TF12

Pocket God is the #1 selling digital comic game with 13-24 year old guys and the #4 highest selling app at the Apple App Store with over 13 million players and gazillions of sacrificial pigmies (see stats below). News from the Toy Fair is that the company is looking to partner with an experienced toy company to create vinyl figures out of these characters. If you thought Big Little Planet was hot, these toys (when they come out) will be mucho hot products.

Disney store pulls Joy Division Mickey Mouse mashup tee shirt - Boing Boing (! got mine today)

Disney store offers, then pulls, Mickey t-shirt based on iconic Joy Division album cover - Boing Boing:

The Disney Store is now offering was, until January 25th, selling a new t-shirt design based on the iconic Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures" album cover, with Mickey Mouse's face inserted in those wavy lines. From Manchester to Mousechester!

There was backlash, and it looks like the item is no longer available in the online store. But Joy Division/New Order bassist Peter Hook liked it.

My copy came in the mail today. I'm pretty sure it's not original as I expect the real Disney shirt to have the logo on the shirt label. But for an instant meme, and a funny shirt, it's worth it. It will be reprinted at print-on-demand stores as this article goes to press.
