You can have your morals and standards or you can have a warm blanket.

I’ll bet they’re of the cheapest quality too.

This is not far off the mark for a major charitable organization (not saying which). Apparently they insist that their logo be on everything before it is distributed, even if they didn’t provide it.

“Well, gotta go.”

“Where?”

“To get a free lunch…”

….. blankets for the poor advertising drugs they can’t afford??

how ironic – what a visual pun — em’bed’ded marketing,

TANSTAAFL

Most people don’t exactly walk around with blankets. Linus excepted.

On the negative side, the homeless aren’t exactly the happy, healthy picture he may want to paint his customers as.

A bit of reality here – I’ve had to hit the food banks off and on when things got bad, and they often gave out clothes, blankets, toiletries, etc. When a corporation donates to such places, they do generally put their logo on things, especially reusable bags, blankets, anything that is easily imprinted I suppose. Nobody that I knew was ever bothered by it, and no, it wasn’t all cheap crap (sometimes it was, though).

I’ll probably never be able to patronize the car company that gave out those beautiful, soft, cozy blankets, but I still appreciate it.

“There ARE no free lunches”
