This simple shirt starts at $2,695. Yes, that’s right. If you want it in black, pictured above, you’ll have to pony up another $630. So, show the world how retarded cool you are. I’ll be waiting to see which celeb pops up on Perez Hilton with this shirt.

Bankrupt electronics retailer Circuit City Inc. said Friday it has asked for court approval to close its remaining 567 U.S. stores and sell all its merchandise.
The company said it has 34,000 employees.
“We are extremely disappointed by this outcome,” James Marcum, acting CEO for Circuit City, said in a statement. “We were unable to reach an agreement with our creditors and lenders to structure a going-concern transaction in the limited timeframe available, and so this is the only possible path for our company.”
In a filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Circuit City – the No. 2 electronics retailer after Best Buy (BBY, Fortune 500) – said it had reached an agreement with four companies to start the liquidation process.

The retailer’s Web site and call center will cease to operate after Jan. 18.
