How in the hell did this super cheeseball backwoods tshirt…

…become an “overnight internet sensation”??

Answer: collegehumor.com and various other funny sites put together a scheme to get this shirt in the mainstream. Believe it or not, it is now #1 in the Apparel category on online retail behemoth Amazon.com. Here’s some big fans:

 

 The over the top tacky tee now has racked up over 1,000 Amazon.com consumer reviews. Here’s a sample from username ”B. Govern”:

This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that’s when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to ‘howl at the moon’ from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called mehth. I told them no, because they didn’t have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn’t settle for the first thing that comes to him.

I arrived at Walmart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt.

Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women
Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the ‘guns’), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark.

Oh the power of the internet…amazing. One link from collegehumor.com and away we go! Just think, with a good enough scheme, you could bring ANYTHING back! Imagine a world of jumpsuits and Coogi sweaters…

Readers: anyone wear this rare piece in public? Can you attest to the magical powers it possesses?

If you want your own, and you know you do, it’s $17.94 for the adult size from Amazon.

Let’s hear about your “luck”, that is if you got any wearing it, in the comments!
