Buy six for your Republican dad who hates John McCain!Wonkette Political Apparel Operative “Lisa” directs us to a magical store on CNN where you can buy tee shirts with funny quotes on them. But buy now because the shirts are only on sale until the headline falls off the “Latest News” section!!!! Oh no wait they have an archive too. Brilliant. [CNN Shirt]

I can’t wait to dry my car with one of these!

Truculent June 26, 2008 at 1:39 pm

Please edit the shirt copy to read, “John McCain is aware of the series of tubes. It’s not a big truck.”

shortsshortsshorts June 26, 2008 at 1:41 pm

But there are TRADITIONS dammit!

ForeignSickSpecialist June 26, 2008 at 1:42 pm

I want my TRUK NUTZ A-Shirt, known in the south, and in McCain’s circle o’ friends, as a Hemmy Wife Beater.

MoodProcessor June 26, 2008 at 1:42 pm

“McCain Suffers from Swelling of the Legs and Edema.”

SayItWithWookies June 26, 2008 at 1:43 pm

I like “Roto-Rooter sucks kitten from drain” on p.5 of the archives.

imatter June 26, 2008 at 1:44 pm

I can’t wait for the “Do Pens Misspell Words?” T-shirt.

Inadequate Blackmail June 26, 2008 at 1:46 pm

Hahahahah. This archive should be our new favorite thing. Observe:

“Junk in trunk may be slurping your gas.”

That’s right. News you can use. CNN is telling it like it is. Your fat ass is the reason you’re only getting 18 miles to the gallon. Do a sit up for Chrissake!

Texan Bulldoggette June 26, 2008 at 1:47 pm

CNN must be hard up for money. I mean they’re taking headlines & slapping them on a T-shirt. Although “Women spin atop escalator handrails” would make for an interesting visual.

jagorev June 26, 2008 at 1:50 pm

Old. This thing was all over the interwebs last month.

AxmxZ June 26, 2008 at 1:51 pm

I’m a tool. I want one.

Sara K. Smith June 26, 2008 at 1:51 pm

[re=25289]jagorev[/re]: OH WELL THANKS FOR LETTING US KNOW.

greatgooglymoogly June 26, 2008 at 1:52 pm

Call now to beat the rush for: “U.S. Declares War on Iran; China Mobilizes; End of Civilization Looms.” That’ll be a real hot seller.

mrtrailsafety June 26, 2008 at 1:53 pm

I suggest “Cindy: First Lady of Milfington!”

TGY June 26, 2008 at 1:54 pm

Please. Buying t-shirts with headlines on ‘em is retarded in the extreme. Next they’ll be printing on mugs or something. I mean, First Amendment, sure, but this is working my mental ‘retarded filter’ overtime. I’ve had to change it twice today already.

Rodney Badger June 26, 2008 at 1:56 pm

This thread is boring and uninteresting. My post serves only to galvanize that condition.

tunamelt June 26, 2008 at 1:56 pm

[re=25291]AxmxZ[/re]: I want one, but I’m cheap.

shortsshortsshorts June 26, 2008 at 1:57 pm

[re=25297]TGY[/re]: I’d love a t-shirt with a FOX headline. There are pretty much a million of them that get the initial “what the fuck” out of people.

ronaldpagan June 26, 2008 at 2:03 pm

Page 7 has some good ones: “Teens sentenced to donate blood” and “Look out! Your groceries are shrinking!”

[re=25296]mrtrailsafety[/re]: Bitch please. Michelle Obama is a million times more fuckable than Cougar McBotoxface.

Kittenloss June 26, 2008 at 2:22 pm

They’ve been doing that for like a month now. I’m pretty sure that’s why they have had so many retarded headlines, like “Brazile to Andersen: I’m not your boo.” Then they can sell the retarded headline shirts.

WadISay June 26, 2008 at 2:25 pm

Fox News should reprint some of its crawlers: “Democrats: threat…or menace? We report, you decide.”

obfuscator June 26, 2008 at 2:39 pm

“CNN to emulate the Onion, sell shirts, internet implodes. In related news, studies indicate that the internet reflexivity index has risen 13%.”

ronaldpagan June 26, 2008 at 2:48 pm

Here are 3 tarded headlines, in a row, on page 10.

“Mud-fearing pig forced to wear boots”
“Pig wears wee boots to keep off mud”
“Mud-fearing pig wears wee little boots”

CNN is officially a Beatrix Potter book.

Paultardville June 26, 2008 at 2:55 pm

I want my “Inadequate Black Male” t-shirt. White, of course.

Botswana Meat Commission FC June 26, 2008 at 2:58 pm

Fucking CNN.com. Such retards. Haha. Laugh at them, kids…

“Secretive Swingers club irks neighbors”

“Women watch man get tasered at party”

“Saloon-girl bridesmaid hated dress”

“Boy voted out of kindergarten”

“Park rangers discover unicorn in Italy”

and my personal favorite….

“Dear blog, I’ve been laid off”

Deepthroat June 26, 2008 at 2:59 pm

beyond retarded

Botswana Meat Commission FC June 26, 2008 at 3:00 pm

Here’s the original treasure trove of CNN.com headers…

http://gawker.com/351228/an-extensive-history-of-terrible-cnncom-headlines

I would pay serious cash for a t-shirt that said…

“Woman beats off burglar with a gnome”

Inadequate Blackmail June 26, 2008 at 3:01 pm

[re=25437]Paultardville[/re]: Come to think of it, I want that shirt too!

SarDee June 26, 2008 at 3:02 pm

[re=25286]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]:

“Women spin atop escalator handrails” would be a great name for a garage band.

ForeignSickSpecialist June 26, 2008 at 3:04 pm

[re=25308]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: I placed my order for “I Love Obama’s Baby’s Momma” T-shirt last week.

SuperRounder June 26, 2008 at 3:04 pm

Is there a “John McCain is ascared of the internets” t-shirt available?

Deepthroat June 26, 2008 at 3:04 pm

“Half Eaten Obama Waffle Goes Up for Bid”

“Fed Up With Gas Prices? Ride a Horse”

“Church Steeple is Cell Tower Goldmine”

“What to Tell Kids About Mom’s New Nose”

“After Iraq, a Broken Nose is No Big Deal”

“Army Barracks Aswim in Feces, Ickiness”

loquaciousmusic June 26, 2008 at 3:35 pm

I’ll bet this guy would wear those t-shirts:

botlrokit June 26, 2008 at 3:44 pm

[re=25284]Inadequate Blackmail[/re]: Fatasses need not purchase the CNN shirts, because the largest size you can order male shirts is “extra large”. Since we’re overpopulated with people who require the extra “X”, CNN is again failing to serve the needs of its public.

jagorev June 26, 2008 at 3:46 pm

[re=25294]Sara K. Smith[/re]: YOUR WELCOME

Paradise June 26, 2008 at 5:24 pm

[re=25294]Sara K. Smith[/re]: if it makes you feel better there hasn’t been a funny, clever or meaningful headline that’s been on one of their t-shirts yet.

Paradise June 26, 2008 at 5:26 pm

Ah durr, let me rephrase: Until today there hasn’t been a funny headline on one of their t-shirts. WALNUTS! being aware of the Internet is always funny.

keepinitrealyo June 26, 2008 at 7:07 pm

Damn I wish I’d read about this before I spent my clothing budget on that “It’s Not Lupus” T-Shirt.

Tzepish June 26, 2008 at 7:12 pm

This is, quite honestly, the most inane thing I have seen on the internet. Check our their frequently asked questions…

“What are the minimum computer specifications required to use CNN Shirts?”

“I took my CNN shirt on vacation, and I have great pictures. Where can I send them?”

“How can I share my CNN Shirt on Facebook?”

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!

Lazy Media June 26, 2008 at 7:15 pm

Is John McCain aware of all Internet traditions?

Inadequate Blackmail June 26, 2008 at 8:15 pm

[re=25531]botlrokit[/re]: I walk away from this thread and suddenly you start calling me a fatass? That’s not cch-change we can believe in!

AusKosh June 26, 2008 at 10:48 pm

Does the tips@wonkette destination really work? It just has me wondering why this post is valid today, two months after sending a “tip” that CNN was doing this. Not complaining. Okay, maybe complaining, but I guess we were all too wrapped up in Barry v. Hillz to care back then.

Eclectablog June 26, 2008 at 11:16 pm

Cindy McCain may be a MILF but Michelle Obama is a certified FLILF.

shortsshortsshorts June 27, 2008 at 1:13 am

[re=25857]AusKosh[/re]: You ARE complaining. There would be no Wonkette without tips. I doubt the doubt that any doubter might convey doubt to this doubtlessness.

AusKosh June 27, 2008 at 9:40 am

[re=25881]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Aah, thanks for confirming what I already admitted. Point being, if the tips provided aren’t paid attention to then doesn’t the well run dry?
