Something about this “cause” makes me feel icky. I don’t know about rape in the Congo. I’m sure it’s as ghastly as advertised. But what about the company that’s exploiting the tragedy to sell you this really cool and trendy T-shirt? Sure, they’re sending seven bucks to help alleviate the problem in some way (as far as I know), but they’re still making a nice profit. And, in return, you get to look cool and feel good about yourself. Win-win! No, better yet… win-win-win, as Michael Scott would say—because think of all those poor rape victims in the Congo!
Look, if you need a T-shirt, go to Goodwill and buy one for 25 cents. And then you’ll have even more money to give to those in need.
