Neighborhood Festival really isn't worth the trip...

[captncrzy]

To where?

[gaypalmsprings]

I'm going to PHX Nov 11.

[captncrzy]

Yah, the NASCAR races are a mile from my house.....it's a pain in the ass to get in and out of my 'hood when those things are going on.

[gaypalmsprings]

So captn, do u go to the races?

[captncrzy]

Nope. Not a fan of sitting outside watching cars go in a circle.

[DeltaSigChi4]

You didn't look to be caucasian trash to me.

[captncrzy]

Nope.

[amyzzz]

I need a ride from Palm Springs.

[gaypalmsprings]

I hate it when NASCAR is in town since PIR is my neighborhood; the grocery store I usually go to is filled with hillbillys in tank tops buying Bud Light and hot dogs.

[DeltaSigChi4]

I hate anything to do with vehicles that are allowed to purposefully destroy the environment.

READ: According to NASCAR, about 6,000 US gallons of fuel are consumed during a typical NEXTEL Cup weekend. NASCAR vehicles receive SPECIAL freedom from EPA to violate every law regarding protecting the environment and those around us. Who needs the environment when you have wife-beating yokels downing Budweiser all while voting Republican without even knowing who's running [because those Dems 'love the darkies and homos'].

Then I hope you chose to fly BA or JetBlue for your recent trip to the UK. Pretty much all commercial airlines waste way too much fuel and create a tremendous amount of emissions. At least BA is a little better because of its lobbying efforts for tougher emissions standards, and JetBlue has the newest planes so they're the most fuel efficient.

I also hope you walk or ride your bike instead of driving.

[DeltaSigChi4]

Have you seen my beard?

E

[Courtney]

I don't understand what that has to do with anything? Are you saving precious water and shaving cream and razor resources? Can you not fly on certain airlines because you look like a terrorist? Does it mean duh you walk or bike because you are a hippie?

I have no idea what you are saying.

[DeltaSigChi4]

If you've seen my beard you'd comprehend.

E

[Wheres the beef?]

CAPS II gotcha.

[Courtney]

If you've seen my beard you'd comprehend.

E

Yeah that doesn't really explain anything. Haven't we already established that I don't comprehend?

[DeltaSigChi4]

Here you go ...

I like Juliette Lewis. Even though she does take a whole hell of a lot of horrible jobs. Don't make fun of me.

[Courtney]

However I dislike Gap. Especially after its umpteenth bust for child labor use earlier this week.

[DeltaSigChi4]

I like Juli Lewis too. And do you have a source for this child labour? I don't shop there, but like to stay informed [which I obviously am not here].

E

[Courtney]

Sure, here's one article. Or just go to google news and search for GAP and "child labor."

I think they're trying to claim that they were unaware of the source of their garments. But that's what all companies say when they're busted for this sort of thing.

[DeltaSigChi4]

Howard Davidowitz, a retail consultant, thinks that consumers ignore retailers' ethical credentials.

That's an understatement. Can you say WALMART?

People just don't give a fuck. They, generally [there are exceptions] would walk over baby infants to get into the WALMART and "save 40 cents" at your nearest Superstore. Doesn't matter to them that they already paid for the forty cents several times over with their taxes because independent stores that WM closed down with their business model caused once gainfully employed citizens to go work for them, where they are don't receive medical and are subsidized by the taxpayers.

I think the problem here, as The Economist hints at, is that much of Gap's customer appeal is based on its image as a charitable corporation. Their recent affiliation with the Product Red campaign boosted their sales numbers, precisely because people thought they were shopping for a worthy cause. Gap's sales have been weak in recent years even without any sort of child labor scandal. Luckily for them, they seem to be committed to dealing with this quietly and quickly. But if for some reason activists or journalists decide to belabor the tarnishing news, it could become quite problematic for Gap's generally stagnant corporate earnings and stock prices.
