Phony Shirt to be Manufactured

Posted by Miss Cellania in Fashion, Gadget on April 4, 2008 at 7:17 am


150_personal_soundtrack_shirtThink Geek displayed an April Fools Day ad for a product that didn’t exist. The Personal Soundtrack Shirt has a built-in speaker and can play various mood themes to make your real life as dramatic as a movie. The item proved to be so popular that they are now scrambling to produce a real shirt!

Looks like we’re the fools here. The Personal Soundtrack T-Shirt was originally an April Fool’s Prank… but due to overwhelming positive response and hundreds of e-mails screaming to “make the damn shirt already” we’re putting this item in to production ASAP. Keep in mind our army of robotic factory monkeys are a bit slow, and it might take them some time to make the real version of this nifty product. Also although we’ll try to keep the Personal Soundtrack T-Shirt as close as possible to what you see here, the final version might deviate slightly in appearance, features or price. Capiche?

No word as to when it will be available, but you can sign up for an email notification. Link -via Geek Like Me

    At last, a perfect product for imperfect life.

    I put my name on the list, and this will be the best Birthday gift to myself ever!
    I wonder if you can import your own themes. and if you can hook it up to your iPod. So many questions….

    I think this is how the 8 bit tie can to be.

    They also had some other products I hope they follow through with, like the USB pregnancy test.

    That is indeed exactly how the 8bit tie came to be. I’m starting to think they’re using April 1st as some sort of testing ground for products they’d want to sell but don’t know if the consumer base exists for.

    The video Thinkgeek put together for this shirt is absolutely fabulous. :D I mean, everything in life is better with the Benny Hill Theme playing!

    Now if only we could push a couple other companies to push ahead with their April Fool’s Day pranks - google/virgin, Microsoft, etc.

    Sweet! I will DEFINITELY be getting one… so long as the speaker is removable, the shirt is washable, and (eventually) they release one that is completely customizable with your own MP3 sounds!

    well I fell for it. It’s an awesome idea. But yeah it would have to be washable…

    You’re right, that’s how the 8-bit tie came about. those things are awesome.

    probinu- the problem inherent with the USB pregnancy test is the requirement, as it said– in order to profit, they necessarily need a good number of female consumers.

    (Disclaimer: I *am* a female consumer at ThinkGeek, if only occasionally. If you’ve ever seen the fit of their ‘ladies’ shirts, you’ll know they don’t do much for that demographic.)
