Does anyone actually buy Cafepress gear?

I'll start with a confession: I own some Cafepress gear. A t-shirt. A hat. A tote bag. No thongs, though. It was my first Cafepress purchase - and my last.

That stuff was junk. The hat had an iron-on patch that I did better myself for my G.I. Joe badge back in the late 1960s. (I was a kid then.) The tote bag looked like a refugee sack. (The racers throw better bags away at Le Tour de France.) The t-shirt peeled the first time I washed it. (I'm just not ironic enough to wear something new that looks trashy right out of the dryer.)

So, I'm wondering aloud - Who buys that stuff? It seems like there are lots of sites that offer Cafepress merchandise. Even some of my friends have Cafepress offerings. But does anyone buy that stuff? Have you ever seen anyone wear that stuff? Have you ever bought that stuff?

I know that Cafepress looks like a big business. But I wonder. Heck, you can go to a local silk screener/embroiderer and get stuff made. Quality stuff. So, why would people buy that Cafepress stuff?

Anyways, now I'm going over to open a Cafepress site and offer a bunch of shirts that say, "I'm wearing Cafepress and I'm proud of it." Or I'll buy my namesake shirt.
