Protect ya neck

A new discovery: Swedish music label Sincerely Yours (home to Air France, Tough Alliance, etc.) sells–in addition to records and “normal” band merchandise–bulletproof vests. Unfortunately it’s no longer for sale. Seems to have sold out as an April 2007 limited edition. Too bad, it sounds like a must-have.

protect ya neck with 50% symbolism and 50% reality. it ain’t safe no more.

this quilted bulletproof vest is perfect for traditional hunting as well as urban guerilla warfare. there’s always someone who wants to put an end to you if you kill compromises like others kill flies. if this someone aims sharp enough, at least you’ll take your last breath with sueded shoulders.
