Remember the mystery message with the Man Ray quote?

Not so mysterious anymore. A trip to the official Stripes website revealed that our favorite rocking duo is…

LOMOs, specifically, perfect for lomography, an Austrian commercial trademark/photographing style that emphasizes spontaneous snapshots and optical tomfoolery.

Two different LOMOs are available, the Jack and Meg models respectively, and they go on sale…take a guess, Yorbites. Yes, X XV. October 15.

For those of you with formerly rich and currently dead uncles, you should know that the first 333 customers to purchase both cameras will get a mystery gift. “Golly gee!” I say with utter sincerity.

Seriously, Jack, Meg. Cameras? I’m all for Stripes paraphernalia, but why play the enigma card? Why not just come out with it? Cameras aren’t mystifying, rare or illegal.

Is the Riddler out of work again? Is that it?
