Skylar Shatz smoked Marlboro Reds for a decade before finally kicking the habit in March. To help others give up tobacco, the graphic artist has designed a T-shirt reminding people that cigs are deadly.



He hasn't sold many shirts, but Shatz has gotten serious interest from one really big name: Philip Morris.



The tobacco giant sent Shatz a bitchy letter claiming a trademark violation and demanding that he stop selling the shirts. ''I got the letter in the mail and I was like, 'Oh, shit,''' Shatz says. But he doesn't plan on yanking the $10 shirts from his website, where he sells an array of other Ts, mostly with skulls and other relics of punk and hardcore music album art.

A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.''



Ha! Oh, very clever. Very clever indeed. TOUCHÌÄÛ¡, Sears.



Anyway, I thought to myself, ''Robyn, I bet you there are way more weird shirts. After all, you saw a ton of weird stuff at the Sears when you were trapped inside one in Warwick for hours last year! Like a soap dispenser shaped like a grizzly bear and whatnot!'' And lo and behold, I did.

A T-shirt designed by Dan McCall pokes fun at the NSA as "the only part of the government that actually listens" referring to the NSA's alleged monitoring of millions of people.



A series of legal cases is pitting some T-shirt designers against large government agencies and a major tobacco company in squabbles over free speech and intellectual property rights.



At issue are messages on these shirts that are critical of the policies or products of companies or other powerful groups.



In the most recent case, a tobacco company says a highly critical parody of its brand name violates laws protecting its trademark.



The image printed on the shirt closely mimics the color and type style of a package of Marlboro cigarettes -- but replaces the well-known brand name with the word ''Death.''

t turns out the Smithsonian wants a Northeast Ohio woman's MTV.



Connie Cordaro found herself working at the all-music cable network when it launched in August 1981.



She worked selling advertising on the fledgling cable channel in New York City.



Fast forward more than three decades later and Cordaro, now 65, of Broadview Heights, decided to sell some of her original MTV items on eBay.



She sold an MTV duffel bag, but a blue original MTV T-shirt went unsold for about a year. Then she heard from someone interested in the shirt.



Kathleen Franz, a research associate at the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution, saw the T-shirt on eBay and contacted Cordaro to see if she would donate the shirt to the museum.



Cordaro, who received both her undergraduate and master's degree in communication at the University of Akron, agreed to make the donation.

Brad Pitt exited LAX this weekend alongside Angelina Jolie and two of his kids. He wore a straw cap and a peculiar shirt. Well, it's a plain white T-shirt, but it has a whimsical line drawing on it of a couple holding hands. The lady is in a slinky dress with long hair, and the dude is wearing a jaunty, Brad Pitt-looking cap.



Anyway, it was not signed by the artist or anything, but it has a distinct my-kid-made-this-don't-question-it vibe. Or perhaps a trendy new designer has let his child take over the family business early. Or, even more likely, one of the Jolie-Pitt children drew this on Pitt's person while he was zonked out on the plane, and he won't even know about this nice portraiture until he gets home and looks in the mirror. Great kid prank. Children, take note.Ê

This may be the biggest legal controversy to engulf the mathematical constant pi since that time in 1897 when the Indiana legislature tried to declare it equal to 3.2: A Brooklyn artist is claiming a broad trademark in T-shirts, jackets, caps, and other apparel featuring the Greek letter, resulting in the mass, temporary removal of thousands of products from the custom t-shirt printing site Zazzle.



At issue is US trademark registration 4,473,631, issued to one Paul Ingrisano, aka "Pi Productions Corp" of New York. In January, the US Patent and Trademark Office gave Ingrisano a trademark on the symbol ̏âÂ. -- pi followed by a period -- a design Ingrisano uses on T-shirts sold at some brick-and-mortar stores.
