New! GAP anti-sweatshop flyers! GAP (and Old Navy, among many companies) use sweatshop labor to make their clothes. While they often defend themselves in a number of ways, including insisting that they sub-contract their work out and have nothing to do with the factories, or that "Hey, at least those poor folks have jobs; they're better off than before," the fact is that they are encouraging and supporting unfair trade practices and working conditions. This has to stop. By all means, employ workers in 3rd World Countries. Just pay them a fair wage and treat them like humans, not like slaves. No one is telling you not to buy GAP, but you should be aware of how
those clothes are made. Or, next time you go to the mall, drop off some information for the
masses. |

| Text: 50 cents off at GAP We employ sweatshop labor. Workers earn as little as
$30 a month, are denied restroom breaks, and labor in unsafe, unsanitary
conditions in Mexico, Bangladesh, Indonesia, & El Salvador. They
are often abused, work unpaid overtime, and may be fired or harmed
if they try to organize or ask for better conditions. All so we can
sell you garments for about 50 cents less than they would cost if
made in responsible |

WWJB?
Just in time for Buy Nothing Day, and that holiest of all that is Holy
in the mall, the Christmas Shopping Season. As they say, "Jesus saves," and He does so by Not Shopping. |

| VISA Ads
A nifty reminder about your mental environment. The 5th one seems to be
specially designed for Salt Lake City, as the original ad reads something
like, "For 3 weeks we doubled your population; you forever doubled
out spirits," in response to the Olympics. |

Fast Food Sucks!
Well, it may not be worth a lawsuit, but there's no denying that that
fast food crap is awful for you and it tastes like hell. Support a locally-owned
place, eat some really good ethnic food, or just make a PB&J or something.

These are just for fun. They don't mean anything, they're just art for
art's sake, or weirdness for weirdness' sake. You can't be serious all
