CNN Headline T-Shirts

by Piers Fawkes in Fashion, Web & Technology, Media & Publishing

Over on the CNN website that lets you buy T-Shirts with one of today’s headlines printed on the front. It’s a quirky little app that leverages the Spreadshirt system and was built by the Barbarian Group.

haha we did, actually, do that on purpose… (you can have fun with images, but you can’t actually buy a ‘hacked’ shirt)

and oddly enough, most people think we f’d up when they saw that, but i met drew curtis (the guy that runs fark.com) the other day in boston at ROFLCon and he assumed right off the bat we did it on purpose so people could mess around with it….

but i am torn, about saying it was intentional, because it could destroy the efficacy of it ? in this case probably not, we had to close that loop so it doesnt matter, but that is actually in one way the campaign ‘working’….
