Mike Tyson was once known as "the baddest man on the planet" for his prowess inside the boxing ring, but since retiring he has found a nice second life for himself as a pop culture icon. We all know about his appearance in "The Hangover," but there is also his one-man show in Vegas and his involvement with a cartoon on Adult Swim among many other ventures.
That's right, it seems like no one is having more fun than Mike Tyson right now, and when you're having fun and presumably making a lot of money, it's also easy to make fun of yourself.
Tyson proved that again late Thursday, when he announced that he is now selling T-shirts that make fun of his famed lisp. The shirts read "Thuns out, guns out," a funny play on the common phrase "Suns out, guns out."
Tyson announced the news with the tweet below.
They are finally here! These limited edition tees are only available for two weeks. https://t.co/2kHQdqJJT9 pic.twitter.com/V4Mb7yyrVA

According to the link provided, the shirts sell for $24.99 and are available in sizes small to 2XL.
And based on the responses to Tyson's original tweet, it appears as though folks are already buying them.
