What an idiotic, capitalistically greedy idea. I’ll probably get some.

I guess I shouldn’t feel so disappointed though…it means this holiday, like all the rest, is seen as just another opportunity to sell stuff to the masses by the our corporatocracy.

No thanks though Nike…I’ll stick with books and talking to mis padres about what MLK, X, Evers, et al meant to them then and now.
