ShirtFreaks.com's Carb Lovers T-Shirt Becomes Best-Seller in Response to Overhyped Low-Carb Diet Craze

Counter-culture customers express their love and support for carbohydrates.

Phoenix, AZ July 27, 2004 -- ShirtFreaks.com, the premier source of expressive and humorous T-shirts on the Web, have found themselves a part of a carbohydrate comeback. The company's Carb Lover T-shirt design, featuring a bleeding heart with a giant bite taken out of it, has become this month's best-seller, shipping out to online shoppers across the country at a rate of 500 per week.

"These days there is nothing more universally despised in our society than the carbohydrate. But everyone loves an underdog, which may explain the recent outpouring of support and affection for carbs, evident by this steady flow of online buyers for our new Carb Lover shirt," explained Mike Miles, VP of Marketing for ShirtFreaks.com. "Our shirts help people express what they are thinking in imagery and words that they just can't muster up on their own. And the beauty of the carb is that it doesnt discriminate, appealing to just about anyone whether its a gentlemen of size with a mouth full of twinkies or a skinny waif purging after a binge on baked goods. That's exactly why we offer a range of sizes and styles for all body types."

"You can't turn on the TV or go into a restaurant without being inundated by low-carb marketing blather," said geneticist John Capodici, a ShirtFreaks.com customer. "The media is saturated with it, and quite frankly, it's driving me to eat and drink more carbs just to spite whoever is making money off those diets. And I am not alone. When I hit the doughnut shop in the morning, the whole place practically rips up in applause when I am wearing my Carb Lover shirt...now that's a statement!"

The Carb Lover T-shirt has also been selected as one of the featured ShirtFreaks.com designs to be included in the celebrity gift bags for presenters and award winners at the Radio Music Awards and American Music Awards, which will air on ABC-TV this fall.
