CNN’s hackable headline T-shirt web app

tshirt

This is a great little fun hack.

CNN is now selling T-shirts of your favorite headlines. We’re not sure why, they just are. The fun part is you can change the URL to say anything you want, making for many hilarious possibilities.

Take, for example, this headline I made up: “John Biggs Eats Twigs; Pope Condemns.” It’s totally fake! I made that up! The Pope has never condemned John that I know of. So much fun!

Make up your own, link it in the comments.

If only the real tee shirts were hackable - like if it had a bluetooth dongal on it and on the back of it it advertised the fact you could change it.

( I am expecting someone to post a link to a place where you can already buy this. If someone does, then we are close to ‘The Singularity’ )

I think they ended their viral marketing campaign and now it’s just normal headlines. You can’t modify them any more. They sure got a lot of buzz with the hackable headlines though!
