Fuck Commercialism (Hurricane)

[brettdale]

Sites are advertising on social media,

Hurricane party tees shirts
Hurricane party Frisbee's

Just plan crap, that has nothing to do with surviving a Hurricane, just
merchandise.

1. Capitalism in its finest hour

They're selling postcards of the hanging, they're painting the passports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors, the circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner, they've got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker, the other is in his pants
And the riot squad they're restless, they need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight, from Desolation Row

2. People will buy tee shirts....

with just about anything printed on them as long as it's something they agree with.

Even on DU there's always someone posting pictures of tee shirts with agreeable messages printed on them (whether they're photoshopped or not).

Everyone is trying to make a quick buck, and tee shirts are a fast and easy way to do it.

Blind consumerism.

3. Special Sale

Magic markers that can change the course of the hurricane.
Bomber and ICBM missile models equipped to nuke the eye of the hurricane. All products are endorsed by stable genius mango moron his self.

4. Living in FL, it's the media that really suck.

They way over-hype everything, it's just ridiculous. Just give us the information, any turns etc., speed, strength and let it go. Stop talking forever about nothing and getting filmed on a rough beach where there is no danger. Tell us about where it is expected to be dangerous, give us information, then get off the air. Enough already!
