What's with CNN.com's tshirt feature?

[johnjohn320]

You know how lately they have tshirt icons next to many of their headlines? And you can pay $15 for a tshirt with that headline printed on it? What a stupid idea. Particularly given the headlines they choose to offer.

Examples? Why the fuck would I want "Girls playing 'pilgrim' blistered by weed" printed on a tshirt?Seriously, check it out sometime, it's ridiculous.

Anyone that actually buys and wears one of those deserves to be punched in the face.
