susandennisI was outside just now and saw a guy walk by with a No Iraq War button on. My first thought was 'gee, can't they make a more attractive button than that???'
Wouldn't more people wear it if it wasn't so ugly?
The very very first internet purchase I made was a lapel button. I remember it was before IE and before Netscape 2, in other words, before you had colored backgrounds to webpages... Anyway, this guy had a webpage selling big old buttons that were white with the international 'no' circle with a slash and the words "OJ Free Zone". His website said 'send me a buck and I'll send you a button.' I put a dollar in an envelope and within a week I had my button. I've bought a few things more online since then but one does tend to remember one's first.
I have this jacket from the Salvation Army that has all kinds of buttons on it - I am a 60's child - and one of those is the OJ button. I don't wear it often but nowadays, when I do, most people don't get the OJ reference.
