Drowning Ferrets T-shirts... a reddit meme commercialized

We live in amazing and hilarious times... and we can see how memes evolve in real time, some eventually becoming commercialized.

What started as a morbid internet comment by a sad Rutgers fan after a loss to Michigan last season

became a running joke for the last two seasons (as well as a Joel Klatt ripoff meme)... and now sports apparel:

 

 

Found this during a search for a different Michigan shirt, but thought others may find amusing.  There are quite a few others there that are good (including Orji in the Endzone).

And also, let's not forget -let's not forget, Dude- that keeping wildlife... um, an amphibious rodent, for... um, you know, domestic... within the city... that ain't legal either.

Having written this Reddit post (It was after the Michigan State game and before the Rutgers game) I'm pretty OK with the "Michigan Ferret Drowning", but cringing at the whole comment on the back.
