Go to the CNN.com home page and click on the little tshirt next to some of the articles. I can see this going very very bad.

CNN Shirt: CNN video headlines printed on a t-shirt

what the fuck how is this even a good idea? THe text is auto generated from headlines, but the headlines are so depressing....

 

[Gumby!]

Wickedfire should do that for the post titles

You can have a little fun with it too. You can type whatever you want in the URL. The shirt images will show up, but then there's a redirect (probably to do with that hash value).

When you see the guys who came up with this idea, you shouldn't be surprised.

You know, I can see Tshirt Hell buying up a few hundred of those on certain bad-news days

Looks like they saved this treat for the US only... not seeing the t-shirt links here.

Sounds like a fuckin stupid idea though, not like the news is full of happy stories is it?

Can just imagine a whole family walking through Disneyland with matching "Austrian incest family reunited" shirts!

How desperate is CNN to make a few more bones?

However its sweet that I can get a t-shirt that says:
Campaign requires 'testicular fortitude'
