A Modest Proposal part I


Behold! This summer's livestrong-esque fad, Tees made of garbage. Coke is teaming up with Walmart to recycle hundreds of millions of coke bottles into kick ass tees with not so terrible phrases on them, "Rehash your Trash". I think I might have to get one just to see what it feels like, now if they can start making t shirts out of Pino's bags, then we'd be getting somewhere! At no frills and food basics you have to pay for the bags, I guess thats why we see less of them than Pino's. This is kinda a step in the right direction, as long as they don't feel like you are wearing a scour pad or a tent. I can't see it being that breathable, I'll look for one next time I'm across
Thanks to Steph for the tip

Hmmmm well it will breath like any other 100% polyester shirt... of course once again I think that this misses the point, so pepsi gives away and few cheap ass t-shirts they produced in a sweat shop, in exchange they get to boost sales of bottled product that contains HFCS which already is a major health concern in this hemisphere and phase out the can (aluminum can be recycled at up to a 95% energy savings) at the same time with no one noticing. So I want one of these shirts but only if it says "HFCS contributed to my obeisity, gave my sister Diabetes, oh and plastic PET bottles have been linked to cancer and sterility in men. To boot this shirt was probably made by political prisoners in China."

Combining the beautifully amoral, the prematurely sold-out, a twist of fascism, a mid continent surfer, and the undermining element in their lives.
