CNN.com has started doing something that I just don't understand: They're selling t-shirts with headlines on them.
Now, as an American, I can understand that people will buy any fool shirt as long as it has writing on it, especially writing that could be considered ironic or an inside joke. But do people relaly want t-shirts that bear the following headlines (pulled from today's Web site; the stories indicate t-shirts are available with this text on them):
40-lb. hunk of metal hits driver in face
Man vs. gator in 7-minute battle for life
Courtroom razor attack caught on tape
Snoozy baby bear can't stay awake
That's it and that appears to be all. No accompanying photo. No real context at all, except for the CNN.com logo. Who is going to wear these things?
I bought one and will likely buy more. They're amusing.
ReplyDeleteMore power to ya. I supposed they'd sold some, because they keep on offering.
