COMPANY TURNS CHECKS INTO PICKET SIGNS
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (Wireless Flash) Check this out: A man from Santa Cruz, California, is turning checks into protest signs. Entrepreneur Bill Anelli has created The Cheque Republic, a new line of checks that criticizes the free market economic system. One check features the word Wageslave in big letters while another reads Warning: Economics Has Made Me Selfish. So far, the most popular check is the flesh-colored one that reads Pound O My Flesh. Although the checks are supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, Anelli who is also a philosophy professor hopes they will raise questions about the role of money in our lives.
