'Factory of Sadness' Cleveland Browns rant sparks new T-shirts

CLEVELAND - After local comedian Mike Polk Jr. yelled at an empty Cleveland Browns Stadium, the phrase “Factory of Sadness” has really caught on.

As Cleveland continues to find new ways to lose, disheartened fans can now wear a T-shirt with the slogan. The “Factory of Sadness” shirts are for sale on GV Art + Design’s website, gvartwork.com , and feature the stadium with a box of tissues.

“After seeing the YouTube video, we knew right away we should design something Browns fans can embrace and have a little fun with. We wanted to keep it positive and put our own spin on it. We will still be there every Sunday, holding on to that Super Bowl dream,” reads the shirt’s description online.

Polk’s YouTube video quickly became the talk of northeastern Ohio following the Browns loss to the Texans. Sunday’s 13 to 12 lost to the St. Louis Rams just cemented “Factory of Sadness” as an appropriate name for the stadium.

"I felt nothing. I couldn't have been less surprised," Polk told NewsChannel5 earlier this week. "It always amazes me that we find these fantastic, really creative ways to lose football games and last night was no exception."

"I have seen that there are many different people and companies selling shirts based on the video. Some have contacted me and asked me to be involved, others haven't," Polk told NewsChannel5 on Wednesday. "I'm a terrible businessman, and I'm also very lazy. I'm not going to go chasing all of these people all over town and asking for a dollar from each shirt. If anyone feels compelled to compensate me for my contribution, it is of course welcome. I don't anticipate such a thing, but some times people surprise you."

The YouTube video now has more than a half a million views.

Other sites, like LoveOurTeam.com , also have shirts with the stadium's new nickname, even saying "See you Sunday," which Polk yells at the end of his video. While Skreened's Ts have an industrial-looking stadium churning out smoke.
