OK, so maybe a MILF Island t-shirt isn't quite your style, but you're looking for something a little bit different than the usual Lost t-shirt or Office mug. How about a t-shirt that has headlines from CNN printed on the front?
Yup, CNN.com is selling the shirts for $15.00 (plus tax and shipping). The American Apparel shirts come in black, grey, or white,and come with a little timestamp printed on the shirt that tells you the date and time the headline was created (and for you tech geek wiseasses out there, you can alter what the shirts say, but CNN won't let you order it that way). The shirts aren't exactly getting rave reviews from other sites and journalists.
So far there aren't many headline choices: "Law Would Penalize Homewreckers," "Pacing Man Stuck 41 Hours In Elevator," "Synchronized Swimmers Faint In Unison" are a few of the choices right now. I don't think these will really take off until they add some headlines that involve Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, politics, or wacky story about a puppy. Gawker is holding a contest for the best.
I think someone should make one that says "Wolf Blitzer Loves TV Squad."

Meh. American Apparel sucks... their t-shirts are too tight. I don't know why more people don't realize this. I might actually order a Gildan or Hanes T if they had that option and a good enough headline...

What a bizarre perspective... rather than comment on the absurdity of a t-shirt having headlines, comment on the execution thereof. Wonderful.

Sorry. I just get pissed off when someone makes a t-shirt I can't even wear.

Maybe you should buy the next size up... unless they don't have a next size up for you...

Isn't this the sort of thing you expect to get free with a
subscription? Ugly t-shirt, plain mug, awkward tote? But I guess since CNN isn't a premium channel, there's no reason to manufacture free-gift-with-purchase crap.
Who thought this was a good idea?
