...and all I got was this lousy T-shirt

At CNN.com it's not enough that a headline tells the story succinctly or gets good Google News traffic - Monkey has learned that headline writers also have to consider whether it would sell T-shirts. The New York Times reports that CNN.com has opened a T-shirt shop featuring headlines such as "Obama makes history" and, more unexpectedly, "Anderson Cooper, 'you're not my boo'." Apparently all CNN.com headlines get a T-shirt by default but Monkey is disappointed to learn that the editors are vetting what appears and a T-shirt bearing the headline "Grizzly victim: 'He's eating my brain!'" will not be on sale. Monkey decries censorship in all its forms - particularly when it's of something funny.
