Human Billboard

Our company wanted to raise some money for charity and came up with the idea of selling t-shirts for the staff to wear. We got shown a picture of models wearing the shirts and we had a choice of a short or long-sleeved garment. We’d pay a subsidised price and choose our size and they would send it directly to our store. Then the thing arrived and on the back was an advert for a product! We had no idea that we would be paying to wear something on our backs. And it wasn’t a printed drawing or text; it was one of those horrible iron-on labels that sticks to your back when you wear it and doesn’t do much good when you sweat. Over time, it dissolves into pieces and leaves bits in the washing machine. I just wished that they would have been upfront and honest with us when they were asking us to part with our cash.
