Mars Attacks – The Invasion Has Begun T-shirt Humanity is visited by Mars. Naturally the President chooses the diplomatic route: red carpets, speeches, and a great hope that the little creatures with huge brains come in peace. They do not come in peace. It becomes quite clear around the same time that “ACK ACK ACK” proves to be less of a friendly greeting and more the universe’s shortest foreign policy program. This Mars Attacks T-shirt pays homage to 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 had written into 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 yodeling music. In Mars Attacks! it apparently defeats the world’s total defense budget.
