I had a little rant a few days ago on how people were cashing in on the travis barker/dj am plane crash. Well here’s MORE news!!

You can now buy your VERY OWN TSHIRT starting from 13th October:

Now I am in no way advertising for this lame cheap ass brand, but honest to god why on earth would ANYONE wear this tshirt which just screams BLASPHEMY!? Goddamn they are lucky the first names of chris and che can form a perfect cross acrostic logo. Do they really think the public is this STUPID? Okay, well maybe the majority are. But seriously. I just can’t believe they would try cash in this much on an otherwise tragic albeit random event.

Anyway there’s this poster I found on some MySpace:

I sincerely hope the deceased families aren’t involved with this, because I think this just tarnishes their deaths and makes them all seem like money grabbing publicity whores.

I also looovvve how the media and the organizers just completely IGNORE the other two people who died on the plane with them(the pilot/steward?). I’m just sick of celebs being treated better than anyone else…I mean fair enough, it was a tragic event. But you know - these things just happen. I’m sure if it was anyone else on that plane, the story would be dead and buried in the news. The fact that there is this whole attention on travis and dj am plus the two other people who I had never even HEARD of before the crash just reinforces our obsession with celebrity worship and our extremely capitalist society.

It’s money grabbing stunts like this which makes me lose all respect for humanity.
