Spidey licensing to new extremes

The Schwartz is strong in this one...

The movie's out... now the real hard sell begins. The marketing.

10 Zen Monkeys has a list of the ten worst Spider-Man licensed products for this go around at the multiplex, many of which are destined to become very big discount sellers around February '08. Here's a sample:

It’s the ultimate slipper — it’s half good, and half evil.

While you pad across your living room, Spider-Man protects you from supervillains and chilly tiles.

Just remember: While you’re lazing around on a Sunday morning, your slippers are plotting to destroy you.
