A T-shirt has become one of the most popular items sold by online trader Amazon in the past few weeks. Sales of the Three Wolf Moon T-shirt shot up 2，300% after an increase of ironic（諷刺性的）comments went up.

The first review gave the shirt five stars， saying “It fits my fat body， has wolves on it， attracts girls” but “cannot see wolves with arms crossed”. That caused hundreds of others to post foolish reviews， turning the page into an Internet attraction.

“When I put this T-shirt on for the first time， my wife left me! Thank you， Three Wolf Moon T-shirt!” wrote one man， while another said， “The Three Wolf Moon T-shirt gave me a ten-plus resistance to energy attacks， eight-plus strength. And I have successfully solved 7 crimes in my city.”

Amazon’s senior manager of community content， Russell Dicker， said the T-shirt was currently the top selling item in their clothing store. “The Three Wolf Moon T-shirt recently moved up 2，300% in sales rank，” he said. “We are grateful that our reviewers are so passionate.”

However， the firm which actually made the T-shirt appeared less than pleased at some of the comments. “The Mountain is a wholesale（批發的）company and does not sell shirts on Amazon. These comments weren’t acceptable in some way until the shirt made the Mountain Three Wolf Moon T-shirt company into the top 10 in the Amazon clothing part，” they said in a posting on the Amazon site. “We appreciate buyers’ humor， but we don’t agree on some of the remarks.”

However， the firm’s art director Michael McGloin said the firm was actually rather pleased with the publicity. “We’ll take ironic fashion someday and we’re printing another 400，000 more T-shirts， and it’s just a wonderful thing，” he said.
