Star Trek merchandise goes all sexy and smelly

As the fall release date for the J.J. Abrams Star Trek DVD closes in, Star Trek merchandising is making a comeback.

Everything Trek made a huge bull rush earlier this summer when the first major run of merchandising took hold. Everything from bottle openers to iPod got the final frontier treatment. Now the DVD is shaking the space trees again.

The long-rumored Star Trek colognes beamed their way into stores last week -- immediately becoming a product that folks might want to try as curiosity without ever admitting they bought it.

Once you've wooed your would-be partner by smelling like a Vulcan, you can take him/her home and roll around passionately on these artsy, handmade, glow in the dark Star Trek pillows. If your partner sees these and sticks around, you're dating a fan. If he/she runs out of your home laughing, you had it coming.

As for the dog costume above, you obviously can't pick that up in stores. But wouldn't the world be a better place if you could?
