The $10 t-shirt deal of the day over at RIPT Apparel today is a mash-up of The Muppets and Ghostbusters called “Ghostbeakers” by Ted Dastick Jr.

The shirt went on sale at RIPT today, Monday, January 16, 2012, at midnight CST, and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it’s over, it will not be sold on the site anymore.

The MP3 album deal of the day over at Amazon today is Muppets: The Green Album for only $3.99.

This compilation album contains 12 classic Muppets tunes performed by popular artists, like Weezer (“Rainbow Connection”), Alkaline Trio (“Movin’ Right Along”), and OK Go (“Muppet Show Theme Song”).

Note – this deal will be valid all day today, Friday, December 2, 2011, and mostly likely will run through this weekend.

If you’d like a physical copy of Muppets: The Green Album, the CD is $11.88.

The Muppets want everyone to have a Happy Thanksgiving this year, whether you’re doing the cooking or you’re being cooked!

The gang sent out an e-card for the holiday which shows the Swedish Chef boiling up a pot of turkey, but will he be successful? It’s doubtful (just see the video below of one of his previous attempts).

The Muppets
Directed by James Bodin
Starring Jason Segel, Chris Cooper, Amy Adams, John Henson
Release Date: November 23, 2011

So, let me start this review by saying I wasn’t the hugest fan of The Muppets characters when I was growing up and I’ve never cared for musicals. Even today I have a healthy respect for the fandom and appreciate the iconic nature of Jim Henson’s creations, but am still not what I’d call a fan of the franchise. So with these caveats in mind I may actually be the perfect person to review this film, simply titled The Muppets, or the absolute wrong person.

I sort of stand in parallel to Jason Segel, the star of the film and co-writer. He’s the person really responsible for making the film happen. He fought to be involved with the project and fought to get the movie made, all because he loves the characters so much. Segel is an actor having starred in such films as Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I Love You Man, but his true talent may be as a writer. He wrote Forgetting Sarah Marshall, a film that ended up being much better than it should have been.

Every day, Amazon offers up “Lightning Deals,” limited quantities of various products for a discounted price for a 4-hour window of time. You have to be on the lookout for these deals and once the item runs out, the sale is over. Meaning, if you see something on sale that you want, buy it immediately before it’s gone.
