How about instead we use CNN&#8217;s tool to make a shirt that actually <a href="http://www.cnn.com/tshirt/?headline=CNN%20is%20a%20complete%20joke&#038;date=1208775827000&#038;hash=9153f55625ac032cb58bdd3882e94b18&#038;return_uri=http://www.ryanblock.com">bears some resemblance to truth and reality</a>?</p>
