I wear Jesus diapers, please don't make fun. They inspire me to poop like Jesus, every day.

I would lump chincy derivatives like ringtones and shoes together. Clearly Seattlest didn't place the ad intentionally, but they are earning money from a related sales channel.

That actually be the contextual-ad-targeting geniuses, spooks. A bad coincidence, nonetheless.

spooks- a ringtone is music techniccally, albeit not the greatest forum for music but music nonetheless. A shoe is a shoe. You can make the distinction I hope.

Just below Seattlest's final condemning statement, a Google ad appears reading "Get Nirvana Ringtones!". Yes - how dare Converse make money off of this.

Sell everything! What's next Jesus diapers? Courtney must have some really expensive addictions to justify selling out everything Nirvana

"As shoe company execs and investors hear the cha-ching! of big-time sales (assuming some young fools will drop at least $50 to sport the shoes), all we hear is the chk-chk of a shotgun slide prepping a fresh shell." That was tacky. So is this whole campaign by Converse. So is Converse, in general.

People buy 'em. People throw down the change. Can't blame Converse for taking note of it.
