So What's The Skreel With These Sesame Street Face Shirts?

I don't know when these shirts came out at all. I feel like the year range where these things emerged could have been anywhere between 2004-2010. That's how little they were on my radar. But now? Now?! These motherfuckers are ruining my day. I feel like that kid that missed out on Pogs or god damn yo-yos, just sitting on the sidelines fuming that I thought I was too cool for the idea and now want one.

Just the wackness right now because I'm not sure if I want one, but I'm definitely intrigued by them. Intrigued like someone's intrigued by a Sizzling Fajita plate at TGIFridays. You see it, then you look at your plate/shirt, see it again, then realize what your wearing/eating sucks and you want some of that Cookie Monster/Elmo/Fajita plate going on. Did that make sense? Either way, there's like a JV version to my dilemma. They have hats with the same design on them. Definitely creepier and would require me to wear a hat, but not the same commitment as a shirt. I also like the scare factor of this attire. Definitely won't have any kids or small animals to deal with on my travels rocking the Cookie Monster.

So, would I be judged or applauded for jumping on this bandwagon between 1-6 years late?
