Breadpig featured on Change.org
And yet it took me a month to write about it. Well, it’s been a busy month, but we wanted to thank the kind folks at Change.org – namely Nathaniel Whittemore – for this great review of Breadpig.

Starbuck’s Birthday Brings Breadpig Love
To celebrate Katee Sackoff’s 29th birthday yesterday, TCritic did a BSG shirt rundown. Props to Bo for the shoutout in the comments. Got nothing to give that special skinjob in your life? I think you know what to do. We’re not doing a reprint of these shirts – ever – so help EFF and treat [...]

Kicking Off A Cat’s Modeling Career With The LOLmagnetz Case
Cat’s sinister mustache not photoshopped Back in April, when we were assembling the first order of LOLmagnetz, breadpig had to rush together some cover art for the sticker adorning the case. My cat back home looked much too sinister for such a joyful product. (See picture on right.) Time was one thing we didn’t have, [...]

LOLtwittered
This was the first post-Christmas LOLmagnetz tweet and the breadpig thought it worthy to mention. It appears cbartlett’s stocking was stuffed with some extra LOL this year, proving yet again that pigs with breadwings can fit through chimneys better than a fat man. In the spirit of giving, we do hope you’ll share your LOLmasterpieces [...]

As Santa Starts Making His Rounds, LOLz Continue
Larsz, a proud LOLmagnetz owner and flickr photographer, uploaded this evidence of his LOLfridge. Click on to see the full image, it’s worth it. Breadpig loves it, Larsz, now you just need to LOLify that “I love you!” note. That will show her/him just how much you care. Remember mySimon? One of their holiday recommendations [...]

LOLmagnetz Named “Odd & Bizarre”
We’re proud to report that LOLmagnetz made another holiday must-have list, this one of Odd and Bizarre Christmas Gifts & Gadgets. The kit is proudly situated between an “Electrolux reverse scan toaster” and “Nose gel dispenser.” Stiff competition indeed. This $20 pack of fridge magnets contains 384 LOL-speak words for you to arrange as you [...]

The CoolCrowd Approves Of LOLifying Your Life Through Magnetz
Part of the breadpig manifesto is an indifference to what the “cool kids” are doing. That’s just one of the luxuries of being a superhero pig with bread wings. Nonetheless, when TheCoolCrowd.net praises LOLmagnetz, we’re happy to give them a trotter up. Since they’re magnetic, you can use them to hold pictures of cats and [...]

LOLmagnetz Deemed Worthy Geek Stocking Stuffer
LOLmagnetz made someone’s Wishroll, though I’m not entirely sure what that means. University of California, Irvine’s Louise Lao trumpets Nifty Gifts on a College Budget: ThinkGeek also has some obscure gifts that could entertain your zaniest friends [...] For the ultimate useless present enthusiast, order a box of LOLMagnetz to make captions for your very [...]

Someone’s Dreaming Of Dreaming Of Androids
Dreaming of Androids is breadpig’s most popular shirt to date, but until recently, I’d never come across a blog shoutout for it. That all changed thanks to ordinary-life.net, who added it to the list of his shirts he’ll buy when he’s got enough cash. Oddly enough, this shirt started with just a sleeping sheep. After [...]

Howard Magazine Acknowledges Breadpig Band’s Unprecedented Level Of Rock
Lisa Kawata knows it. And now our band’s hometown, Howard County (well, the county our hometown is in), now knows it, too. The breadpig rocks. Our “PR Guru” (not sarcasm-quotes, I’m quoting the following article) Mike Scrivener, scored us an article in the recent issue of Howard Magazine. Way to make HoCo. proud, guys.

Weekend Of Magnetic And Rock Band Love
A LOLmagnetz shoutout on LiveJournal degenerated into a discussion worthy of the ages. It was pitched as a gift for Death, apparently. LOLMagnetz. You know. If you have a fridge. I imagine you don’t eat much. I wonder if Death has a sense of humor. Bret, social games guru and friend/drinking-buddy of breadpig, gave the [...]

Achtung! LOLmagnetz!!
The breadpig is in Austria right now and getting Google News Alerts auf Deutsch. This is fantastic. Here’s a blogger named Nimue, who needs a kit of LOLmagnetz, badly. Mein Inner-Geek-Girl braucht diese Kühlschrankmagnete… I think we all have a little inner-geek-girl inside us who craves these refrigerator magnets. There was a very thorough writeup [...]

Autobots Heart LOLmagnetz
LOLmagnetz recently made some more appearances. Bordom.net deigned the kit worthy of combating boredom. That’s when you know you’ve arrived, when you’re on a site that’s dropped the “e” Flickr-style for maximum Web 2.0-ness. But the coolest appearance to date was on a Transformers forum. No word yet on whether or not it’s a favorite [...]

The Breadpig Renaissance (How Many Times Can The Breadpig Be Reborn, Anyway?)
After the Internet Superstar appearance, the breadpig band had a nice renaissance. To that point, breadpig salutes all of the new converts and thanks you for all the shirt orders. Spintown showed some love, but I should correct a comment he made: This video was made by one of the creators of Reddit.com. I think [...]
