Update Your T-Shirt RSS With Wearable News

91810mag.jpg Feeling depressed about NY Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger's pronouncement that the Times will stop printing a physical edition sometime in the future? Down in the dumps because of another news story predicting the ever-imminent death of print and magazines? Well, take some comfort: you can still get your news printed the old fashioned way, on T-shirts!

T-Post is the world's first wearable magazine; the company prints a news story on the inside of the shirt, and has an artistic graphic of the story on the front. "It all started with the idea of trying to rewire the structures of news communication. T-shirts inspire conversation, and when you add a story behind them, you get people thinking," T-Post Editor-in-Chief Peter Lundgren told AOL News.

Subscribers get a new cotton T-shirt every five weeks from the Swedish company; it has already put out 57 issues over the last six years. News printed on T-shirts; next you'll be telling us that there's a British version of Law and Order and no NY one!

    Hope the young ladies won`t mind when I have to move in closer to read the fine print and I really can`t wait for the braille text.

    ...soon to be unemployed T-Post Editor-in-Chief Peter Lundgren...

    Fixed.

    The shirt will fail for the same reason newspapers and magazines...by the time you're wearing it, the news is stale.

    From editorsweblog:

    "[CLARIFICATION: Sulzberger was not making an announcement that the New York Times has definite plans to stop printing in the near future; rather making the point, in a joking fashion, that it is impossible and fruitless to predict exactly when printed newspapers might come to an end.]"

    Fail, Ben.
