Three wolf moon t-shirt becomes "internet phenomenon"

Kitsch tee goes viral following comedy reviews

21 May 2009 16:56 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

Viral activity has seen a t-shirt shoot up the Amazon sales chart, as amusing customer "reviews" have made the tee, and its page on the site, a must-see.

The BBC reports on this "latest internet phenomenon", getting comment from an Amazon PR bod: "The Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt recently moved up 2,300% in sales rank. We are grateful that our reviewers are so passionate".

Apparently, the first review gave the shirt five stars, stating it: "fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women" but "cannot see wolves with arms crossed". This then saw hundreds of others posting "frivolous reviews" with the current total at 333.

"I already had this exact picture tattooed on my chest, but this shirt is very useful in colder weather", is one, while another reviewer says: "One thing I noticed, after repeated wearing my body hair seems to have grown considerably thicker".

  • The only thing that could be better than actually knowing a man who runs with the Three Wolf Moon shirt would be standing in front of a whole sales rack full of them at discount designer clothing superstore, Loehmann’s.
    Seeing all of them bursting with potential, smelling the muskiness of the fresh transfer ink, knowing they could be had for up to 65% off the prices found elsewhere.
    I would buy one for all the men I know and use my Gold Club card for even more savings…it would be Shopping Nirvana
