Have you ever been asked if you are a pirate or a ninja? Hopefully, in regards to halloween, you are a pirate. Nobody seems to have any ninja costumes for sale. But not so with pirate costumes, they are still all the rage this year for halloween. While vacationing on the east coast a few weeks ago, the pirate parafinellia was everywhere you looked.
So, since you find all kinds of fun things on the internet, I typed in 'environmental pirate', for fun. Here is what I got:
EARTH LOVE AT PIRATE SANDALS
Jackpot! Environmentally conscience sandals!
Here is what they say about their business:
WE ARE NOT A BIG UGLY BUSINESS...
Over the years we have been appropriately sized to meet demand. We don't "hype" to create demand. We scale production requirements to the natural sales volume which results in an intelligent highly satisfied customer. If you decide that you would like to try a PIRATE product you can, we don't try to sell you anything you don't want.
I am a little confused though. They say they are old surfing hippies, and they live in Texas. Now I suppose hippies live a lot of places, but Texas is not one that would come to mind. There is no way they are lying though. They say in their ad that their local delivery vehicle is a 1988 Suzuki Samurai. Well, good for them...I guess!?
Here is what I found with 'environmental ninja'. I guess Konami games has a video game called "Zen: Intergalactic Ninja" . Here is the premise:
Take on the toughest environmental issues in the cosmos as Zen, a ninja-for-hire. Lord Contaminous is out to trash the Earth, and you're the only one who can stop him. As a master of martial arts and meditation, you'll take on enemies like Oil Slick, Smogger, Sulfura, and Garbageman. There are four environmental escapades to choose from: Rancid County Dump, Slixxon Oil Tanker, Acid Forest, and Pollution Dam.
I believe that is called in doctrination. Or stupid. Or both.
