May 22 2009Magical Wolf Shirt Receives Rave Reviews
A shirt being sold by Amazon that features three wolf heads howling at the moon has receiving over 500 reviews and seriously increased sales. Most of the reviews mention the shirt's magical properties. Here's the one that got it all started:
This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that's when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to 'howl at the moon' from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called mehth. I told them no, because they didn't have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn't settle for the first thing that comes to him.
I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt.Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women
Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the 'guns'), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark.
There you have it. The review was so popular that wolf shirt sales have gone through the roof (up 2,300%), with everybody else trying to score a piece of the magic. Hell, the BBC even did a story on it. Now, if you'll excu....*ripping track jacket off* OW OW OOOOOOOOOWWW!! Come on -- who likes it hairy?

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never BAck Down where Max was standing by the highway, and someone threw trash out of their car and it made MAx cry.

Those Wal-mart chicks. I go straight to the wipped cream section suck down a couple of wippits.......and WAWAWAWA WA they are still beasts. But I don't care because I know that 80 year old security gaurd knows he doesn't want to tango with this hombre in my wolf shirt.

Haha, there was this girl at my high school who only owned shirts with wolves or fairies on them.
She was gross.
7. Gloria - May 22, 2009 9:02 PM
I used to wear these to school every single day.

LOL GEEKOLOGIE READER POSTS WANKY LOLRAMNUD REVIEW OF INSIGNIFICANT ARTICLE OF CLOTHING ON AMAZON THEN LINKS TO GEEKOLOGIE HOPING FOR SIMILARLY WANKY LOLRAMNUD RESPONSES LOL
Give me a BREAK.
I remember, once upon a time, when this site encompassed all aspects, every "haha what the lol" article from every corner of the web without the contrived need to prance around with the pretence of it being science or technology-related, a site that didn't pertain exclusively to chan-frequenting nobodies and "ANONIS LEGION" invalids.
I remember Hedonistica, and want that back, Anticlown. Drop this nonsense, with the pandering to the fourteen year-olds and the mental subnormals. Bring us back the original and best. No more of this AHAHAHA LOL I AM AWARE OF POPULAR INTERNET MEMES guff. Bring back what attracted us to this site in the first place. Ignore the channers and the plebs, like they were ever worth bothering with in the first place.

Thanks you Quasimodem.
20. GreenOdonata - May 23, 2009 12:10 AM
Lmaooo this is hilarious. And I love how the "Customers who viewed this item also viewed" comes up with the book, creatively titled, "How to Live With a Huge Penis." This shirt is clearly a winner.
21. Jiakasuma - May 23, 2009 12:11 AM
These reviews aren't lies! This is coming from a guy who bought 5 of these shirts!!!!!!!!!!
22. Watch-303 - May 23, 2009 12:17 AM
Nobody claimed it, so I'm FRIST!!!!!!
I'm still trying to get the code working on FB. Any hints?
23. Taylored - May 23, 2009 12:38 AM
They should rename this website "Oldologie" or perhaps "popologie"

26. TetraShiva - May 23, 2009 2:06 AM
Most of the comments for the shirt came from 4chan.
27. Ocelot - May 23, 2009 2:47 AM
Holy balls I gotta get me one a those!!
28. Ocelot - May 23, 2009 2:52 AM
Quasimodem, you successfully managed to be more annoying than Daisy. And that's really saying a lot.

That is some funny shit.
I remember seeing the exact same situation on another site that exclusively sells wolf merchandise and the moderators couldn't believe all the attention the wolf howling hoodie was getting. One individual claimed it cured his AIDS, and the moderators responded seriously making sure consumers knew that their shirt was not proven to cure AIDS.
33. Victoria - May 23, 2009 9:19 AM
CollegeHumor did it.
34. asdasd - May 23, 2009 11:14 AM
Hedonistica was great. But GW is funny nonetheless
35. $.02 and a pocket full of FAH-Q - May 23, 2009 11:18 AM
Has anyone else noticed that people are way more likely to misspell or omit key words when they're ranting or complaining? Thus rendering their argument moot. It's happened to me too... I think it's the universe's way of saying STFU you whiner =)
36. Fake - May 23, 2009 11:41 AM
So the manufacturer put up a review there and spread all kinds of crap using Facebook and cack like that.
37. captain obvious - May 23, 2009 12:15 PM
@28, unfortunately for you....your statement is a paradox! anyone who complains about daisy on this site needs to leave geekologie for good!
38. Darth - May 23, 2009 12:50 PM
A good salesman can even sell his used pair of dentures with profit.
39. QUASIMODEM - May 23, 2009 1:38 PM
To be honest, $.02, it was more to do with my level of intoxication. However, mis-typing doesn't actually render anyone's arguments invalid, that's just a crutch the feeble-minded ride on when they've nothing of value to contribute or are incapable of opposing an argument adequately.
SWING 'N' A MISS, PALLY

I saw an old tranny walking around at Wal Mart with that shirt on.
MAGICAL TRANNY!
44. GreenOdonata - May 24, 2009 2:04 AM
43--So true! I love Bret's third-grade style t-shirts. Especially the ones featuring zoo animals.

I've worn a shirt or two in my time, including one with a collar, so when I state this is the best shirt in existence it doesn't come lightly. Better than the Atari shirt, better than the Charlies Angels shirt and better even than my fancy flannel shirt.

Embarrassingly enough, I owned a couple of wolf shirts. But that is because I got bitten by a lycanthrope. And every full moon I turn into a wereguinepig.
