CNN.com sells own headline-inspired t-shirts

Take a close look at the icons after certain stories in the ‘latest news’ section of cnn.com

Notice anything odd? video icon, check…. what’s that next to it? is that a t-shirt icon? what could that mean? why is the t-shirt icon next to some headlines and not others?

Yep. they are selling t-shirts with some of their headlines.

Apple: No on Prop 8

No on Prop 8

October 24, 2008

Apple is publicly opposing Proposition 8 and making a donation of $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign.

BLDGBLOG: Minor Landscapes and the Geography of American Political Campaigns

“Press This”/Block Quotes are a kind of blogging cop out, but I’m busy with work stuffs right now. Laura K forwarded this to me last night, it is well worth the read.

I simply want to point out that political campaigning in the United States seems almost deliberately to take place in a landscape that no longer has genuine relevance to the majority of U.S. citizens.

The idea that “an old-fashioned soda shop” might give someone access to the mind of the United States seems so absurd as to be almost impossible to ridicule thoroughly.
