Heard of Nintendo's new gaming console, Wii? Now check out what you can do with your Mii. A Mii is a user's avatar -- a 3D caricature that can be designed by choosing from a wide variety of facial and body features and colors, which you use as your character when playing games.
Mr Cloud's T-Shirt Emporium (www.mrcloud.com) lets you order a t-shirt with your Mii printed on it. Just beam over your Mii using the Wii's built-in send functionality. Cost is USD 35 and orders are custom-printed and dispatched within a few days. Sounds like a fun and very now example of gravanity.
GRAVANITY: an entire industry catering to the obsession of ordinary citizens wanting to leave ‘something’ behind in print, audio or imagery, preferably in the public domain.
So who's going to try this first?

It's very weird to have a chat with you about something and then find it up here - you're very quick!
DO NOT ORDER! MrCloud will take the money but you will never receive the t-shirts. Craig Hesmondhalgh owns the business and if you google you will find lots and lots of complaints about not getting any goods but he still collects your money. SO BE AWARE! Sari

Mr Cloud is a total scamster. You pay for your item but you will never actually see it. If you kick up enough fuss he will eventually give you your money back but only after a long time and a lot of rude emails. He never says sorry, just offers lame excuses. See these threads:
