lauralhAt a burrito hut I saw that you could buy a shirt with the place's logo on it. Which made me think, "Gee, they make you PAY to wear a shirt with THEIR logo on it? You pay for advertising them? How fucked up is that?"
Which of course let me to think of Nike and Calvin Klein etc, and then I came up with a new theory. Stuff with logos on it should be about half the price of stuff without it. I mean companies spend millions of dollars to advertise, and then they charge you $60 for clothes that cost them $2 to make, just because it has a big honking logo that I don't even want on it, which is basically ME PAYING to advertise the fucking company?
