I have a T-shirt which says:
THIS T-SHIRT WAS MADE IN AUSTRALIA by a foreign owned company using imported materials and employing illegal immigrants. It was bleached with a toxic enviromental killing chlorine compound (tested on animals). The dye is lethal in large quantities as it contains lead and asbestos. This shirt will concentrate harmful UV rays onto your skin, may cause lung cancer and will accelerate the hole in the ozone layer when burned. If released into the wild this shirt will choke turtles, tangle up dolphins and compete with Australia's native flora and fauna increasing desertification. Proceeds from this shirt help to finance South American deforestation, the poaching of animals in Africa, the research of chemical weapons and the general decline of society's morals and the family unit. BUY AUSTRALIAN!
I was once congratualated by a woman who just read the first part. I told her to read the whole lot. She did and then went away very quickly with a funny look on her face......
