I know there are a lot of news junkies out there in the world. The internet is crawling with them. You might even be one of them. I respect that. It’s people like you who actually “pay attention” to the “important events” that “impact the lives” of “billions of people” “all around the world”. Meanwhile, I comfortably sit on my couch at home, frivolously slinging quotation marks around in a haphazard manner. I could tell you that the president of the United States is George Clinton, but that’s about where my knowledge of world event ends. Enter T-post.

T-post: informing you about the world since… well, for a little while, at least.
These swingin’ Swedes are printing what they dub the world’s first “wearable magazine”. So, just like any other magazine you’d subscribe to, you receive an issue every six weeks; each issue pertains to some current event or news story that the folks at T-post feel to be both important and underreported. However, as you might have suspected (seeing as how you’re reading about this on a t-shirt blog and all), each “issue” is actually a t-shirt!
I know, right? There’s a word on Internet to describe your astonishment: ZOMG.
Let’s get right to the examples. Here’s their most recent design, inspired by the multinational drive to exploit space for military and political gains:

Space!!!
And this shirt was inspired by recent insights into the neurological basis of altruism:

Altruism!!!
And if you’re interested, you can take a look at the rest of their past issues at their gallery. A subscription will cost you €26.00 per shirt (that’s $34.98 in feeble U.S. dollars—if you live in Sweden it’s a little cheaper, only 200 SEK). However, that price includes shipping, so it’s really quite reasonable. And the shirts are American Apparel, so you know it’s quality stuff.
The newest issue looks like it’s going to arrive at subscribers’ doors any day now—its E.T.A. as listed on the site is May 25—so now’s the time to subscribe, since you’ll be sure that your subscription will be processed in time for you to receive the next issue. So go! Go now! While there’s still time!!!
