    WHERE DOES HE GET HIS POSTERS SO CHEAPLY?!

    I would say in bulk and for free. There have been stories of children in Africa wearing shirts that say Buffalo Bills Super Bowl Champions.

    My understanding is that charitable organizations often ship used clothes they can't sell at their thrift shops to the third world, where they are either given away, or sold for a pittance (say 5 cents) to cover shipping costs.

    What bullshi-. That has to be called for what it is.

    As for the shirt thing, at each major sporting event such as a World Series, Super Bowl, any type of playoffs, the winning team almost always is immediately wearing a shirt with their name on it proclaiming them winners. Shirts for the teams that lose rarely see the light of day except in Third World countries.

    Maybe he'll even have sally struthers deliver it.
