Have you ever noticed that on the CNN website, you can purchase a T-shirt with the titles of news stories. This would not be so strange if the titles were not so odd. Like "Elephant warms to baby she stomped."
- Why would I want to watch a this video? I don't like watching Elephants, especially smushed ones.
- What a strange title to put on a shirt? Other titles (this month) include "Cheerleader skirts too short for school" and "Agents find 200 pot plants in mall." And how come I can't purchase the title that says "Boy, 9, told he's too good to be pitcher"? It is on the CNN website.
- Do I really want a t-shirt that says this title and that "I just found saw it on CNN.com" with the date and time? Plus $15 dollars and shipping? I could make that shirt for you.
What a strange marketing ploy. And of course, the most popular shirt sold by CNN is "Asian women seek white, groveling men." Le Sigh!
