“I took a crap in my pants more interesting than that.”

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica¹, the average male rhinoceros testicle is the size of a softball and weighs in around 3 lbs. I guess that explains why Marc Ecko decided to use the rhinoceros as the logo for his clothing line. Not only does it imbue the wearer with a feeling of strength and confidence, but it also seems representative of Mr. Ecko’s own ego. After all, the guy must have a serious set of cahonies on him to TAG AIR FORCE ONE!!

That’s right, you read right. Marc Ecko – in a fit of civil libertarian rage – jumped a fence and spray painted the side of Air Force One with his mark (“Still Free”), video tapped the entire episode and put it on the internet for all to see. Right on, dude! Way to stick it to the Man! I love stickin’ it to the man! Yeah… stick it…

In this modern age of eroding civil rights and with governmental encroachment peeking around every corner like a pervert at the playground, it’s refreshing to see someone take a stand. Someone with a voice and a vision to take the time and really spell out how it…

Wait a second…

Hold on, hold on…

What’s this…

“Marc Ecko Enterprises does not condone illegal activity, acts of vandalism, or the destruction of other people’s property.”

Marc… baby, come on. Little hypocritical don’t you think? I mean here you are, vandalizing Air Force one for the sake of protesting some law in NYC that bans 18 year olds from doing the same. Aren’t you?

Holy crap!! I’ve been had. Shiestered. Swindled. Dupped. Bamboozled. (I love thesaurus.com)

“You, the viewer of the preceeding [yes, their lawyers misspelled “preceding”] are hereby advised that the video does not depict a real event. It is intended for the sole, limited and express purpose of entertainment and to induce you, the viewer of the video, to think critically about freedom of expression and speech and the government’s responses to the same.”

The only thing I’m critically examining is Marc Ecko’s blatant use of propaganda (you heard me –depicting false and inaccurate portrayals through the media for the purposes of propagating a one-sided, narrowly defined point of view - propaganda) to defend a bunch of hoodlums that would probably graffiti their grandmothers foreheads if they had the chance.

And, on further consideration of the matter, I get the sneaking suspicion this whole episode resulted from a meeting with some VERY expensive advertising firm. And that meeting started out by someone asking, “So, everyone… how do we sell more sweatshirts?”

Poser, punk bitch.
