Back from gift bag shopping.
Each bag will contain:
- One protein bar (flavors may vary)
- One packet EmergenC 1000mg vitamin C
- One pack of Juicy Fruit gum
- Handfuls of Kit Kats, Hershey's Kisses, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
- Hello Kitty Band Aids
- Chapstick (flavors may vary)
- Box of Mrs. Fields' chocolates
- Ricola cough drops
- One toy (toys vary: mini-magic 8 ball, mini Mad Libs, mini Wooly Willy)
Awesome.
What's a mini Woolly Willy?
I support the idea of these boycotts, but not downloading things from iTunes or buying DVDs is just not practical for me, for various reasons.
You know, I would think downloading and watching stuff on the internet would be a good thing. AMPTP claims they don't make any money off the internet. If they made money during this strike on "new media" that would only bolster the writers' position.
Who says they have to report that money to the public? They'll just say it's savings from not paying people due to the strike.
I don't know that boycotting downloads will have much impact, but I'm disinclined to help the studios make money on new media during the strike.
Hello Kitty Band Aids
Woot!
GF and I may be out there on Friday, too, as it's supposedly "Fan Day." Perhaps we'll see you guys, Allyson.
Allyson, you are awesome like a thing full of awe.
I'm not sure where I stand on DVD purchases since the writers actually do get a cut of that (Mile High and some European rugby player DVDs are at the top of my To Buy list anyway), but I'll definitely refrain from buying anything over the internets until the strike is resolved.
