Mars Attacks – The Invasion Has Begun T-shirt Humanity is visited by Mars. The President naturally chooses the diplomatic solution: red carpets, speeches, and a great hope that the little beings with giant brains come in peace. They do not come in peace. It becomes fairly clear around the same time that “ACK ACK ACK” turns out to be less of a friendly greeting and more the universe’s shortest foreign policy program. This Mars Attacks T-shirt salutes Tim Burton’s chaotic sci-fi comedy from 1996, where the military has no useful plan, the scientists are optimistic a little too long, and humanity’s most effective defense turns out to be something no general included in the contingency plan. Perfect for fans of Mars Attacks, classic sci-fi and films where “The Invasion Has Begun” really just means: the meeting went really badly. Nerdshop tip: When the Martians attack, pull out Slim Whitman’s yodelling music. In Mars Attacks! it apparently defeats the world’s total defense budget.
