It’s a bit odd

Drug lord T-shirts sell out Ballads glorifying Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s jailbreak were composed shortly after his escape. Now T-shirts and hats featuring his face are flying off the shelves. The fashion line features a wanted poster with a multimillion-dollar bounty, an image of Guzman escaping prison with a bag of cash, and his face with the words “Boss” in the same red and blue design as US President Barack Obama’s campaign poster. For between US$5 and US$32, the T-shirts of the Sinaloa drug cartel chief are being sold in Mexico or on the internet. Some stores had already run out of stock, days after Guzman made his June 11 escape from a maximum-security prison via a tunnel dug under his cell in central Mexico. The online store Kartel Kollection, based in Los Angeles, posted the words “sold out” for a T-shirt with an old picture of Guzman. Clients of Kartel Kollection, whose brand has two AK-47s in the shape of the letter K, include people from Mexico, the United States and the Middle East.
