Whatever you feel about the merits of Japan’s new prime minister, there’s no denying that his name is eminently—nay, deliciously—punnable. Kudos to “original graphic item online shop” ClubT for taking the gag that most of us were too embarrassed to make ourselves and turning it into an eye-catching garment. Their “Yes We Kan” T-shirt is available in over 100 varieties, which is to say nothing of the sweaters, tank tops, long-sleeve tees and (we kid you not) iPhone covers. If you’re more of an LDP person, you could get the “No We Kan’t” version. Personally, we’d have preferred “If Kan can’t can-can, who can can Kan?” but it’s not really as catchy.

“Yes We Kan” T-shirt, from ¥2,205. Available via http://clubt.jp
