What does MLK have to do with other people making merchandise sales...ABSOULtely nothing.
This is the SAME EXACT thing as CHRISTMAS sales or any other marketing scheme that tries to infer some sort of loyalty to a person or group by you giving them money for something.
I guess their product can't stand on its own. If you think hard about it, it's a simple concept. It's just that we've been droned into a merchandising daze and we can't think for ourselves.
Graphic design icon Milton Glaser talks about the balance between professionalism and personal artistic fulfillment in this 7 minute video about the fear of failure.

Well, you did, Mike.
So I'm reading this and thinking, why are they promoting milk? Living in the UK it took me a while to catch on. Dr King would not be impressed.
