That would sell like hot cakes.

]]> <![CDATA[CNN Goes Into Apparel Business With Headline T-Shirts]]> Did anyone happen to notice that they appear to be using Spreadshirt to offer these shirts? Just go to www.spreadshirt.com and make your own store. Then you can make take a wide variety of clothing and put whatever you want on it. There's no minimum or anything, you can make a shirt and order it for less than 15 dollars depending on the type of clothe you use.
But, yeah, essentially CNN is making money for doing nothing...just make your own and you can put whatever headline YOU want.

]]> <![CDATA[CNN Goes Into Apparel Business With Headline T-Shirts]]> They had one up over the weekend that said "Smuggled workers turned into slaves" or something like that. And you could buy it as a shirt. :)

The back page of each issue of Columbia Journalism Review always has the most delicious two-headed headlines, poorly-captioned photos and craptacular writing.

It's like LOLcats for journalists.

]]> <![CDATA[CNN Goes Into Apparel Business With Headline T-Shirts]]> I think they stole this idea from The Onion.

Orv

]]> <![CDATA[CNN Goes Into Apparel Business With Headline T-Shirts]]> also, isn't this admission that they consider their own news to be sensational?

]]> <![CDATA[CNN Goes Into Apparel Business With Headline T-Shirts]]> Even when you COULD alter the URL to make your own shirt caption, it wouldn't let you add that shirt to your cart. It was mildly amusing to see it on the screen, though.

]]> <![CDATA[CNN Goes Into Apparel Business With Headline T-Shirts]]> I think it's been taken down, because I can't find the link but CNN had a story a while back with the title:

"Man Mistaken for Water Rodent, Shot in Face"

now THAT would look great on a shirt!

ironchef

]]> <![CDATA[CNN Goes Into Apparel Business With Headline T-Shirts]]> Did they fix their system so you cant write your own shirt anymore? I know a week or so ago on Fark people figured out how to put in their own headlines and it was hilarious.

unpolloloco

]]> <![CDATA[CNN Goes Into Apparel Business With Headline T-Shirts]]> I think a shirt that simply says "This CNN." with a picture of James Earl Jones on it would be the best option if CNN really really wants to do shirts.

]]> <![CDATA[CNN Goes Into Apparel Business With Headline T-Shirts]]> @Marsupial: Could not agree more. Especially for $15 a pop.

adambadam

]]> <![CDATA[CNN Goes Into Apparel Business With Headline T-Shirts]]> I saw this tonight for the first time -- I thought it was really bizarre. Are they just banking that their witty headline writers will come up with something that so perfectly encapsulates the human experience in five words that everyone will need it on a t-shirt? Let's see: "Time capsule scroll intrigues school." No, that one's not so good; "Expired food sold at low, low prices." Ok, well, maybe that one works. Still, .500 is a high average to keep up.

unravel

]]> <![CDATA[CNN Goes Into Apparel Business With Headline T-Shirts]]> Click any of the available shirt links and take a close look at the URL -- you used to be able to change it to whatever you wanted! Looks like they fixed it, though..

]]> <![CDATA[CNN Goes Into Apparel Business With Headline T-Shirts]]> Also, CNN wants photo evidence of you wearing your new adpparal:

I took my CNN shirt on vacation, and I have great pictures. Where can I send them?
Please upload any photos of you wearing a CNN Shirt to www.ireport.com/tshirt. Your photo will be considered for future contests and our CNN Shirt photo archive. [www.cnn.com]
