Amazon joke review of Wolf Shirt leads to 2300% increase in sales

[CptStern]

this is hilarious

Sales of the kitsch Three Wolf Moon T-shirt shot up 2,300% after a spate of ironic reviews went viral.

The first review gave the shirt five stars, saying it "Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women"

other reviews followed:

"When I put this T-shirt on for the first time, my wife left me! Thank you, Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt,"

"the Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt gave me a +10 resistance to energy attacks, +8 Strength... and I have successfully solved 7 crimes in my city".

lol

However, the firm which actually makes the T-shirt appeared less than pleased at some of the comments.

"We appreciate humour as much as the next company, but we don't approve of some of the remarks.

"Not everyone can start out at the top and not everyone from our neck of the woods lives in a trailer or cruises Walmart to hook up (though we do shop there for cheap Blue Rays)."

Blue-Rays? does he mean Blu-Rays? if he does well he went out of his way to prove that not everyone from his neck of the woods is a country bumpkin by then proving he's a country bumpkin?

the joke reviews have now moved to the Tiger t-shirt:

By Eric "Mananimal"

This tiger tshirt has vastly improved my professional and private life. I have been approached by more women than I can count on one hand in the last hour alone. Each of these women were clearly drawn to me by my tiger tshirt. Each of these women offered me intercourse but I turned them down because I, like the noble tiger on my tshirt, mate only for procreation. My boss has offered me 3 promotions, including his specific job in the last week. I have turned them all down for I, like the tiger on my tshirt, am humble.


5 stars, buy this shirt!

lol

Why would you even bother reviewing a shirt 0_o

Lol, this is comparable with Big Rigs, a game which is so horribly bad that everyone wanted to check it out.

 

[CptStern]

you miss the point of the thread/reviews and probably own several wolf shirts and this hat:

I can't believe something like this becomes news-worthy. Soon you'll have CNN doing daily lulz coverage.

[Viperidae]

Wow, this is really, really old. Can't believe BBC's reporting on it now.

 

[CptStern]

old? the very first review is from nov 2008, the one mentioned as the first joke review. there were no more joke reviews till may 4th 2009 and from there it snowballed ..47 out of 48 pages of reviews on the wolf shirt are from this month on

the BBC is commenting on the spike of sales due to the joke reviews making it very recent

WOLF SHIRT REVIEWS IN THE NEWS? IT'S LIKE I'M REALLY IN THE PAST

Spoiler

I actually own a shirt with a wolf, an eagle, a bear, and an elk on it

I get mad pussy and win the lotto every time I wear it

 

[phantomdesign]

I like TheMountain designs (some of them). Bought a couple shirts about a year ago, but didn't like the shirt's cut/fit. The coolest one looks kinda like an affliction shirt, except a "realistic" snake weaving through it.

 

[Dog--]

Blue-Rays? does he mean Blu-Rays? if he does well he went out of his way to prove that not everyone from his neck of the woods is a country bumpkin by then proving he's a country bumpkin?

Yes, he misspelled blu-ray so he's obviously a HUGE hick, because we all know country bumpkins have blu-ray players. Chances are if he has a blu-ray player he's some some really hillbilly HDTV as well It's probably like a 18'' LOL.

[Acepilotf14]

[TCfromBN]

Holy shit. I need to get me one of those.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

That's a ****ing cool shirt.

 

[Hurricane]

*review page*

love the last line.

 

[Krynn72]

I've always found the funniest review of the wolf shirt to be the sixth to last one by shapedoctor. Cracks me up every time.

 

[V-Man339]

I must have this shirt.

 

[<RJMC>]

now this will become the next method used by all amrketing campaigns

microsoft: this is our new sistem operator "I ****ed your mom",why is called like that you ask? well is cuz when you turn on your pc a loud start up sound will appear that say "I ****ed your mom" and appears again in a interval of time like when you are using our useless excel or word cuz this whole thing is crap but will make you crack rocks whit your cock like I am about to do *pulls out rocks of bag,start unzipping....*

coca-cola: everyone loves the new horse semen flavored coke,like this person who said "makes me vomit till I get unconcious so but I get laid whit tons of fat chicks but its better that whit not girls like furniture,I hate to hump furniture" and other who said it made him able to to bend metal whit its cock and get the owners of general motors to give them all his money,and wait till we release we next shocking coke that have a batery in it to shock you while you drink it

 

[unozero]

I wear wolf shirts once in a while

 

[Higlac]

Maybe Dragonshirt would like this?

 

[Kadayi]

Annoyingly despite the fact that the article is by the BBC the shirts not available in the UK. I've a stag do to go to in a few weeks and instantly thought..we have to make the groom wear one of these.

Still they do sell this on amazon.co.uk

I think I might have to poison my Amazon recommendations and order this for him

 

[Saturos]

I'm wearing a size M TheMountain tank top right now and it's damn comfy. :arms:

Looks good on my ripped bod. (take a guess what's on it)

 

[CptStern]

I wear wolf shirts once in a while

[VirusType2]

Ohhh ... shit, I laughed pretty good. Damn.
