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.”
