  <body>This is damn crazy! They're printing 300,000 to 400,000 more shirts because of the demand!!

Not sure if you've heard of this already but this is hilarious!

A T-shirt has become one of the most popular items sold by online retailer Amazon in the past few weeks. 

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" but "cannot see wolves with arms crossed".

That prompted hundreds of others to post frivolous reviews, turning the page into an internet phenomenon.

"When I put this T-shirt on for the first time, my wife left me! Thank you, Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt," wrote one wag, while another said that "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".

I'm not sure how many have been sold to date, but there is a discrepancy between the quoted amount in the printed article verses the actual audio file interview.  The written article says the company is printing out 400,000 more whereas in the audio version he can clearly be heard as saying "preparing to dye up four to five hundred &lt;i&gt;dozen&lt;/i&gt;" more.  So they print up about 5-6 thousand t-shirts in each run, a much more reasonable amount.</body>
