There’s a big charity drive running in New York. Its ads, splashed all over the sides of NYC buses, contain pictures of enormous backpacks. The drive’s military-sounding name? Operation Backpack NYC.
Operation Backpack benefits homeless children in the Greater New York area by outfitting them with backpacks full of new school supplies in September… A typical twelfth grader is 17-18 years old and needs a larger backpack. Look for backpacks with classic colors and sturdy builds. [Link]
They’re asking New Yorkers to equip 10,000 largely brown teens with overstuffed backpacks. But no food containers, please.
Worst… timing… ever!
In other news, V for Vendetta is releasing shortly. It’s a movie about blowing up downtown London.
