Considering the amount of remixes Mims' hit rap single "This is Why I'm Hot" set off -- R. Kelly's "This is Why I'm Cold," the NBA's "The Phoenix Suns Are Hot," and Chubbs' "This is Why I'm Fat" for example -- we're surprised that it took this long for its catchy hook to reach video gaming's catch-phrase-hungry communities.
Mirroring Mims' insipid lyrics, the simplicity of SnorgTees' shirt design leaves no room for confusion on its message or the company's plans to rake in crazy money by exploiting our nostalgia-addled minds. We can imagine the office congratulations and "props" received by the young designer who paired the 8-bit fire flower with the narcissistic mantra. They all agree, this is why he's hot.
The $16.95 shirt comes in royal blue and black, its lowercase Myriad Pro text staying chalky white on both colors. If you haven't heard the song several hundred times already, you have the option of checking past the post break for an embedded music video of the club track.

Don't bother -- ssuk just likes to go around posting negative responses to everything. Some people just enjoy a good wallow.

Wow, I love this shirt.. I'd have to be the 10/10 to balance ssucky's vote of one.
Best part about it?
I told my wife about the shirt and she groaned.
NOW I WANT 7 OF THEM!

I've never heard the song, never heard any of the other songs you mentioned, never seen the video, never even heard OF the song until just now, and I refuse to watch the video! I swear I don't live in a cave! Yet.
