M&M's?

This woman just left our office who was wearing a bright yello jacket that advertised M & M's...you know, like melting in your mouth, not in your hand. Nikki told me that there was an M & M sponsored car on the NASCAR circuit but it looked an awful lot like a straight ad to me. Is there no product that people will not wear ad apparel for?

So far there's nothing out there that I have seen that touts the wonders of any particular brands of condoms, feminine hygiene products or personal pleasure devices but I have a feeling that a line of t-shirts or ball caps may may not be too far in the future.

Jeans companies seem to have been in the forefront on the adver-parel...Jordache, that Klein guy and so forth but Old Navy has a death grip on the gold medal. The whole bloody store is little more than a poster factory for itself...everytime someone walks out of there with a t-shirt or sweatshirt they proclaim where it was purchased and that they were dumb enough to pay ON for the privilege of advertising for them.

We're not even going to talk about the clothing items that have the label sewn on the outside. Do you think it happened because Label Sewer # 39 came in hung over one morning and accidentally started sewing labels in clothes that were right side out? She probably got canned for bad performance and is now sitting around in a trailer somewhere trying to figure out how to get a cut of the profits from companies who decided her mistake was a good promotional idea.

My personal idea would have been a set of t-shirts with velcro attachable displays that announce what brand of cereal the wearer had for breakfast but then no one would walk around with a sign across their back proclaiming that had started their day by consuming a bowl of something called "mueslix"...would they?

This is really a weird time we live in I think....

You're a freakin' genius! Sign me up for the new t-shirt and ball cap business. I'm in. I'm picturing a trade-marked frog character with a thought bubble over his head: "Ribbit. For Her Pleasure."

I always wanted to make a t-shirt with all of my personal ID numbers jumbled across the front and back with the words: "I Feel Like a Number"
