The rest of the design is awesome though - there are some decent improvements to discoverability.
The top layer is fixed, the bottom layer absolutely positioned, so that the latter moves under the former as you scroll the page.
Not exactly rocket science, and I guess we've never seen this before because it is way too distracting.
Gah! "More Loud Colorful Clutter" does not automatically equal "Better". It's a store for geeks, not the MySpace crowd.
I've been shopping Thinkgeek (mostly t-shirts, but sometimes other things) since 1999, and it's been a while since I've seen any new, interesting shirts.
Or, one of them, anyways. There's 2 to 6 as well.
