Please, let's keep pseudo-political commentary out of skateboarding.
You can market anything anti-establishment to a 13 year old, but if you honestly think it's making some kind of impact on them consciously or subconsciously you're buggin.
I never said they should put all their money where their mouth is, but if they're trying to make money off political idealism, then at least a portion of their profits should go towards making shit better. Otherwise, they're no different than everybody else, in that they're just out to get a buck.
These graphics are just a mix of Yellow graphics (which are horrible) and Anti-Hero (which are good). So they're basically aping one company and in the process also putting out a watered down version of a better one. What's the point? If you want to make skateboards, make skateboards. If you want to be involved in politics, become involved. The message behind a company involved in skateboarding should always be skating. I mean, if I want to wax politically a skateboard is the last place I am going to look at for inspiration.
These graphics are about as intellectually stimulating as Wet Willy graphics. This shit is just eye candy for the other group of moronic dumbass teenagers that don't fall into the cartoon demographic. Dudes should just write "fuck" on the bottom of their boards, it will sell just as well, and it will spare the rest of us from their half-assed political commentary.
