What in the World is CNN Doing…T-Shirts??

May 2nd, 2008

My boss pointed out the little T-Shirt icons next to some of the stories on CNN’s site. Apparently, if you see this magical icon next to a headline, you can get a t-shirt with that headline on it. Yes… you can now be the cool guy in town with shirts that proudly display - ‘Teen texts mom, thwarts burglars’ or ‘Campaign requires testicular fortitude’. Wow, this was a great idea….I am now in the process of switching out my entire wardrobe.

@Raul - It wasn’t as though I didn’t like it - but I just find it really really strange. Also, the headlines that they are choosing are bizzare - I would understand it a bit more if they chose political ones - so that followers of a certain candidate would want the shirt when a favorable article was published or something… Maybe I am just missing the innovation.
