I’m sorry. I can’t contain my disgust for James. I know I should be mature and just ignore him, but I simply can’t. It’s too easy to rant when you have a blog. In this clip, posted today on JokersUpdates, James discusses the origins of his pink mohawk, which comes not from any innate craziness but from the American Apparel marketing department. Apparently the company, which sponsored his bike trip for niceness, suggested that James wear all pink, and never one to turn down free clothes, James went along with it. Nothing wrong with that (unless, of course, you specifically chastise everyone around you for being materialistic… which is what James did).
The good news for James was that his new pink look had an added fringe benefit. To quote him:
“And people always… associate the pink with, like, breast cancer awareness and stuff like that; so they’re more willing to give you, like, free shit… I don’t say anything. They’re like ‘You’re doing a good thing.’ I’m like alright dude, thanks.”
Taking advantage of good will and breast cancer sympathy all in the pursuit of free stuff? Not materialistic at all! And so very NICE.
