I'm sorry. I can't contain my disgust for James. I know I should be mature and just ignore him, but I simply can't. It's too easy to rant when you have a blog. In this clip, posted today on JokersUpdates, James discusses the origins of his pink mohawk, which comes not from any innate craziness but from the American Apparel marketing department. Apparently the company, which sponsored his bike trip for niceness, suggested that James wear all pink, and never one to turn down free clothes, James went along with it. Nothing wrong with that (unless, of course, you specifically chastise everyone around you for being materialistic... which is what James did).
The good news for James was that his new pink look had an added fringe benefit. To quote him:
"And people always... associate the pink with, like, breast cancer awareness and stuff like that; so they're more willing to give you, like, free shit... I don't say anything. They're like 'You're doing a good thing.' I'm like alright dude, thanks."
Taking advantage of good will and breast cancer sympathy all in the pursuit of free stuff? Not materialistic at all! And so very NICE.

I do a Breast Cancer 5K at least once a year. You know why? For all the free shit they give you. Seriously. They give you like a t-shirt and then they have all these booths set up where you can get free sunscreen and those heating patches and free food and even massages. I am tell ya - doing the right thing can be profitable.

Oh no, arguing with that. I'm just saying that in the context of James, who boasts about his anti-materialistic ways etc.
Personally, I'm ALL for swag wherever I can get it. I should do a post about my favorite free stuff.
So James wonders why no charity would use him as a spokesman.

His 18 inches of manhood he presented to the public.

You know, he may not be doing exactly the right thing but you did leave out in your little paragraph that he said he wanted to do something for Breast Cancer awareness....so its not like hes being an asshole. He just wasnt asked to do it.
Well, that may be all true, but it neither adds nor detracts from my argument whether or not James WANTS to do something for Breast Cancer awareness. I'm merely showing how he's taking advantage of people's misplaced sympathy to benefit himself.
