Found this in my inbox this morning:

Enjoy the brand of coffee featured in the upcoming film "Watchmen" — and learn more about this "subversively good" brew at Amazon.com's blog Omnivoracious.
And the (shameless) marketing campaigns begin...

You guys and your contrived hipster angst. It's actually not so "shameless" at all. The idea for this coffee is from Clay Enos, who was the official stills photographer on the film. He paid for these to be done from his own pocket, and since he actually isn't making a penny off of the recently released "WATCHMEN: PORTRAITS" book (which is all his work) I think it's only fair that he find a way to try and "cash in" for himself. Besides, it's a unique and cool idea anyway.
