I was reading the TIME thing on moot saying 4chan has 5 million visitors daily. Even if that number is slightly exaggerated its still a huge untapped market with no competition. Sure it won't be as great as starbucks or bestbuy, but I'm sure I could make quite a bit off of it.
Okay, but you're not factoring in common sense/real life. If you really think you can make quite a bit off of it from underageb&'s and young adults, then I'll gladly eat my shoes. Internet memes aren't in the same league as "gamer" clothing. The only ones a majority of people even know are the ones that have transcended the internet.
Walk around wearing a shirt that says "Son, I am disappoint." or "mmm DFC" or "3D PIG DISGUSTING" and see how many people have any frickin' idea what your shirt is about. Hell, that last one might make people think of SWINE FLU (oh god lol). I mean, yeah, I'd wear those because I'm a f'ag, but think about it for more than a second.
Unless you truly are shooting for garbage like OVER 9000, CHARGIN' MAH LAZOR or LONGCAT...which even most of 4chan is sick of, I wish you extra good luck. Only newf'ags still find that stuff funny.

And Kabanaw makes a good point too. Or make something successful yourself. If you can make something catch on in a big way, you can milk it good.
