No comment: CNN T-shirts
I’m not saying a word about this because it may ruin my chances to become Andernetta Cooper.:-) I’ll just describe it: Apparently CNN has a new feature I’ve just noticed on its website: selling t-shirts with story headlines.
Look at the screenshot below. You’ll there’s a little t-shirt icon next to the headline “Boy gets wish: Seat on garbage truck.”
If you click on the icon on the CNN.com site, you’ll be taken to a page where you can buy the t-shirt with the headline.
Again, no comment.
I do have a question though: Do the story subjects get a cut of the profits?
Ya know, I read CNN daily, and I never noticed the T-shirt icon next to some of the headlines. The icon seems to only be next to “strange” or “weird” story type headlines. Very interesting though.

The t-shirts are made by American Apparel and are sold at cost for $15. There is no profit.

@Yianni - > But shouldn’t the story subject have a say so in this, even with the shirts being at no cost?
