1. Pay $30 to have your favorite old tshirt turned into underwear! OR: take a Sharpie and write "Built to Spill" on a pair of $4 underwear and give $26 to Oxfam.
2. I'm always having "me too!" conversations with other people who loathe the word "piece." It's nice to know no less authority than Patton Oswalt agrees.
Totally fucking agree about #1. I hate the whole conscience consumption of buying something to support breast cancer or AIDS or anything. Why not just give all of the money to the charity who would normally get your $.50 or whatever? I really hate the idea of two guys at the Gap all like "Duuuude, I didn't know there was an AIDS problem in Africa. Maybe I should buy this shirt to do something about it."
