Apparently CNN is the network with all the news that's fit to wear.
For some unknown reason (April Fool's is over), CNN is offering t-shirts featuring headlines from its online video reports. Um, random.
With your headline of choice, and the tagline, "I just saw it on CNN.com," the shirts come in flashing, custom-styles like: crew-neck, black, white, or gray. All for the low-low price of $15 (plus tax and shipping costs, of course).
Is this shameless promotion, or a humorous way to spread news?

This is very odd advertising... I'm not sure who the target audience is here.
1No thanks.
2An article yesterday said one of the shirts CNN was offering was a headline about a man accidentally killing his son while hunting - they pulled it, but how could you possibly trust a network that needed to have such gross insensitivity pointed out?
3I don't work for free.
4I'm such a nerd. I think it's cool but it will depend on the headline of course.
5#1 - I already own too many tee shirts.
6#2 - It would clash with my FOXNEWS tee shirt.
#3 - Just kidding, I don't own a FOXNEWS tee shirt.
Auntie, would you like one. I got two
7When I first saw the t-shirts I thought it was to mock the inane headlines the supposed journalists at CNN have come up with. Then I saw they were from CNN itself. It killed the funny!
Well, the person who picked the headlines is funny.
8#1 isn't wearing a t-shirt with the network logo a better idea than actually headlines? Headlines aren't always unique to the network.
9#2 if I were going to wear a news networks t-shirt it certainly wouldn't be for the Communist News Network
#3 this just goes to show just how bad their ratings really are
Depends on how they phrase the headline. Could be REALLY funny...or just stupid.
