CNN.com's Headline T-Shirt Sales - Should TPM Sell T-Shirts Too?
CNN unveiled a new merch scheme yesterday. Next to various headlines there are little T-shirt icons where you can buy a t-shirt for $15.00:
Deaf couple wants only deaf embryo
YouTube divorce ranter begs for cash
Bikini-clad baristas shock customers
Given their increasing lack of relevancy, why would anyone want a shirt with a stupid CNN headline on it?
I can understand wanting an ONION t-shirt, or a Bill O'Lielly T-Shirt (as DF has blogged recently), but not a t-shirt with a lame, probably misspelled CNN headline on it.
<b>Should TPM start selling t-shirts?</b> I can see getting one with the red TPM logo on it or the Veracifier logo. Or even one with some blog headlines like "'Sweetie' Happens to Men, too" or "Swimmingly" or even "Obama Nabs Another Superdelegate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" :)
Anyway, happy KY & OR primary day everyone!

north_aufzoo: It's good to get that out in the open. Admitting that kind of impulse is good for you. (Idiotic is sitting on a gold mine.)
My confession: I own a "Meet The Press" t-shirt. No joke. =(

Actually way way back when, I think Idiotic actually did put out a T-shirt. I am pretty sure this is the link he gave.

mageduley: Amazing t-shirt. If I didn't already use my Stimulus Check on gas and Obama donations, I'd certainly buy one!!

As a t-shirt vendor myself and someone who is dismayed at the way Americans in general clothe themselves, the idea for these shirts by CNN has to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
Then again, sadly, I bet they'd make money.
Check out some of my creations! If we get to the point Karl Rove gets tossed in the Capitol Basement I'll have some MC KARL ROVE shirts whipped up!
