Being a walking advertisement
About 25 years ago I decided that I did not want to be a walking advertisement for any company, so I tossed all clothes that were branded by any business. Coke, Nike, etc etc. I have not worn anything branded again. If you want ME to be a walking advertisement I thought, then pay me.
Riding gear. Some of it is SO branded that its stupid. Sorry, I will not buy gear that turns me into a walking advertisement, But it is also impossible to avoid. Some companies are better than others, some lines of gear is better than others, and some I plan to simply blacken, to make it less obvious. I even plan to blacken my motorcycle.
Its not that I hate business. Nor do I have a problem supporting products and companies that produce support worthy goods or services. I just refuse to offer free advertising.
Is this silly? Ridiculous? In this hyper-advertised world, why should I offer my body as a billboard for you?
How do you feel about this?
