CNN Commemorates McCain Internet Joke With T-Shirt

Hey, everyone! Remember a couple days ago when Mark Soohoo, who is ostensibly part of John McCain's "internet team," ran afoul of blogger Tracy Russo, who accused McCain of not being sufficiently proficient in the use of the web and social media and Microsoft Excel and stuff? Soohoo offered up the retort, "John McCain is aware of the internet," and everyone in the room just laughed and laughed. Remember that? Well, Wonkette reports today that now, thanks to CNN, you can commemorate this experience yourself by buying a t-shirt emblazoned with the immortal line. This is pretty much the most wonderful thing that could have resulted from the McCain presidential candidacy.

To get the shirt, you will likely have to select it from CNN's archive of June headlines, where you can also find shirts that say, "Obama 'arrogant,' charges Karl Rove," "Granny, 93, throws first baseball pitch," and "Surf's up in Cuba."

NPR reported this morning on a new game on the McCain website -- Pork Invaders, a reskinning of Space Invaders to shoot vetos at pork. How symbolic of the McCain campaign -- a cheap retread of what was popular thirty years ago.

It's time for a President who is YouTube, not Me Decade.

I'd rather have a shirt with this quote on it,

"PC or Mac??" "Neither, I'm an illiterate. I rely on my wife for assistance.........."

I think this is a terrific idea. It's a way to take an online meme storm and bring it off line into the greater reality meme.

So you can get a shirt that makes Obama a victim to Rove's evilness, or one that makes fun of McCain. Hmmmmm...... I wonder what CNN's bias is?

[Krikkit]

I suspect there are other headlines to choose from, were it your preference...

This is HuffPo's bias. And mine, I might add.

CNN, this is the stupidest idea EVER!

[BEHM777]

At least he is aware of something...

[YoungDumbUgly]

I ordered mine. $19.99. Not too bad.

instead of buying shirts from cnn, go to store.barackobama.com and buy something that gives money directly to the campaign...

Yeah, CNN doesn't need any of our money promoting shirts about Barack being "arrogant." That is a disgrace. They couldn't have picked something funny or silly?
