So let's continue looking back at the year. Today we'll present you the top sellers in 2008 (in all countries, as of 12/19/2008) and what it might tell us about the year.
The Top Ten T-Shirts in 2008 are:
Number 10: Free Tibet - Clearly one of the year's hottest topics. Especially before and during the Olympic summer games in Beijing there was a lot of talk about human rights and the misdeeds of the Chinese regime against the (mostly) peaceful highland folks of Tibet. Their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, has grown to be something like a world wide pop star. The demand for "Free Tibet"-T-Shirts (and this was only one of them!) lasted until months after the games. And even with diminished public interest in the conflict, maybe the attention has done some good: there's hope for new dialogues concerning the status of Tibet.
Number 9: The Voodoo Doll. A design that we have already been offering for a long time. Voodoo dolls have gathered some attention in France this year: Dolls with the face of French president Nicolas Sarkozy have become a huge seller. Mr le président was not amused and, maybe annoyed by continuing pains in his chest, tried to have them banned - but in vain.
(Of course that's just a funny newsline, we don't believe this news has anything to do with the T-shirt.)
