Just saw a news story about how there are "census trucks" going around the country passing out a tote bag containing all this stuff:
a water bottle
two plastic cups
another tote bag!!!
a chip clip
another tote bag!!!
ice scraper
Yes, there were two tote bags inside the tote bag!! Could they be any more wasteful??? Did they really need to put so much stuff in the tote bag?? How about just giving away a chip clip?? This is just plain disgusting.
The truck was at one of our local malls yesterday. And they gave the locations the truck will be at for the next couple of days.
The news said the cost of this program was $15,000,000
Said the total amount being spent for advertising is $300,000,000 1|1|It really is a waste... Saw a store on the news and it pissed me off. SO many other things they could be doing with that money... But am I shocked? Nope.|RobinsCrazyWorld|robinmarie72@gmail.com|14:12:48|03/26/2010|

I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.
