A friend read somewhere the suggestion that in every episode of The X-Files the subliminal message flashes up "Buy all the X Files merchandise you can find". Certainly explains why I'm poor... ... Anyway, this is my little list of the merchandise that they haven't thought of yet. If you have any to add, you know where to send them.. [NOTE TO ALL PEOPLE WHO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY - Don't; this is SARCASIM (probably induced by listening to Fox Mulder for far too long), and should not be invested in, etc. END NOTE.]
1) X Files Party Cups / Napkins / Table Covers / Teaspoons / Party Streamers... etc
2) X Files Pens with THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE / TRUSTNO1 / DENY EVERTHING / APOLOGY IS POLICY... etc
3) X Files mouse mats (Gee, I guess someone has beat me on this... =)
4) X Files dolls at McDonalds, free with every happy meal. The Scully-doll can say "Oh my God!", the Mulder one can say "It's a UFO!!", etc, etc.
5) X Files tea towels.
6) X Files Videos - various sets; the first starting off well enough with two episodes per tape, all coming out in sucession. *Then* stopping these after the 4th tape, leaving lots of X Philes annoyed, then restart selling only selected episodes (like Squeeze & Tooms) on tapes, then have plans to sell a set of Chris Carter's favourite episodes, before finally, *maybe* selling the entire lot again from the first episode (only with different packaging, so that people who bought the first four tapes won't have a matching collection.) Gee, I guess someone else thought of this as well.
7) X Files torchlights with Mulder and Scully embossed on them. (Rumour has it someone else's thought of this too...)
