Digging in the Cache – Three Wolf Moon

Digging in the Cache is a series where we go back in time to look at fun tidbits of Internet and computer history. If you haven’t heard of Three Wolf Moon (affiliate link), you’re in for a treat! (It’s still pretty amusing even if you’ve heard of it before.) Three Wolf Moon is a tshirt (seen at left) produced by a company called The Mountain.  The shirt itself is clearly awesome (ahem), and it was posted on Amazon, a sarcastic review was left by Brian Govern, which inspired others to leave their own amusing reviews.  The shirt has since been featured in several video games and makes appearances at tech conferences as an item of ironic humor.

Ironically, the shirt has sold quite well and has been satirized repeatedly. Some examples: in the Official Star Wars Shop with their Moon Over My Ewok shirt, Wil Wheaton wearing the the 3 Tux Moon tshirt, and the 3 JPEG moon tshirt.  College Humor probably captures the parodies the best:

Would you wear a 3 Wolf Moon tshirt (or admit that you would)?
