If you’re one of the millions of Facebook users scared by the Facebook Fan Check Virus, consider taking a break from real social networking and slip on something less threatening to your hard drive—like this Spacebook Tee.
The Spacebook Tee gives us a glimpse of what it would be like if the characters of Star Wars had ‘Spacebook’ accounts and a certain ‘Trooper 57’ took part in some work-day slacking (I especially like the ‘Z Harmony’ ad on the right).
Although we now know the Facebook Fan Check Virus is really just a clever ploy by hackers, it’s still fun to make a little jab at social networking!
