At least it says 100% of proceeds will go to Japan. Better than $1 per t-shirt.

I think this is tacky


Where's the fringe? This can't be Ralph "Cowboy Fetish" Lauren. Yes, it is. Very tacky.

I guess it's a good way to soothe a rich conscience and still wear designer. Anybody who can afford a $98 shirt can afford to donate a whole lot more. But why bother?

My, I'm on the class war path this afternoon. Sorry.

For some weird reason I thought you were in the U.S.

I see we are pretty off the radar in the western news. For once, the news on the other end looks a little rosier than what I see here. Radiation levels (still background level in Tokyo and most areas) are actually up in the last 36 hours. Weather patterns have been cited, but I am not convinced yet. The govt has no direct access to TEPCO rad level readings around the plant as far as I know..

Anyway, it became clear days ago that the key issue is the safety of the food supply. We are taking steps in addition to what the govt is. If things don't start to look better, I see a backpacking trip around southern Japan for me and the fam as my son's last day of school is Friday.

It amazes me what the media thinks should be headline news.
Operation Odyssey Dawn is the big story. Japan is second page.

Yeah, yeah, I know, we're not interested in violence, only in democracy.

I've been reading your posts.
I have also been keeping up with the news in Japan with CNN's Japan in Crisis Blog.
