This is just awesome

There's this great company called Despair, Inc., who makes products that are seeping in sarcasm. Case in point? This t-shirt right here...



I'm on Despair's email list, just because I'm a word nerd and therefore in love with their clever marketing language.

Here's what they wrote to promote the Cupid Keeps Missing t-shirt:

In a year likely to be bitterly fruitful with miseries—one day in particular promises to stand out from among them. February 14th. A holiday which celebrates the endless promise of romantic love by blissfully tormenting all those who will spend the day loveless and alone.

But fear not—for wherever large, suffering masses of embittered souls can be found, so too can Despair, Inc. Offering a sympathetic shoulder to cry on while ever-so-gently picking your pocket—leaving only some dark-humored, overpriced tschotschkes as receipt.

Coming this January 5th, Despair will introduce to the public our latest Valentine's Day collectible—the limited-run "Cupid Keeps Missing" t-shirt—in men's and women's versions. A shirt which shows only too well just how crappy a shot Cupid really is.

Brilliant. And all too true!

If you're interested in buying the shirt, you can do so here.
