We're often told that Suck isn't just a Web site, it's a lifestyle. We can only concur: what good is a virtual presence if you can't form a virtual community around it? All the world's an ancillary market, and when people think they belong, they're that much more likely to buy your crap. We hope to someday form a virtual community as large as Columbia House, replete with a cheap laminate "membership" card. Frankie Say Suck. We start our tour of future Suck merchandise with the Suck t-shirt. "www.suck.com" on the front will demonstrate to all your friends and co-workers your cooler-than-thou, "been there, done that" attitude - held by only the most discriminating of Web surfers - while the "I like to Suck." on the back will so poignantly capture the adolescent ribaldry that makes you the life of every party. The gaping hole that Suck fills doesn't have to always be a virtual one. In the need we say more category, enter the www.suck.com condom. Unlubricated, because it never www.suck.com condom. Unlubricated, because it never goes down easy, but flavored with just a hint of mint, the Suck condom is the sure thing to help our site expand and grow into something explosive. What goes up must come down, of course, so that only a few scissor-snips away is the Suck Sure, you may be a Suckster, but, in the end, we're all suckers. The Suck sucker. For those that know that "Suckster" is just another cheap ploy, and "sucker" describes it all too well. Could anything be more obvious @ Could anything be more obvious than Suck mousepads? The y're a sure way to personalize your workspace and let all your co-workers know how much of a free, independent spirit you really are. If we could wing a deal, though, we'd drop the custom mousepads and hawk Suck wrist splints instead, for the truly wired among us. The best way to avoid RSI, however , is to eliminate unnecessary computer usage. Take action, Suckster: delete all those bookmarks to sites that constantly resort to shameless self-promotion and blatant hucksterism, and are so damn smug about it that they'll even call attention to the fact. damn smug about it that they'll even call attention to the fact. Now, that's fucked up.
Stickers have one thing going for them: they're cheap. Suck stickers would be the perfect medium to try out all those Suck slogans we come up with in our most lucid moments, and dutifully record on the bathroom wall: "www.suck.com. Substantially worse than nothing.", "www.suck.com. All the good ideas were taken.", "www.suck.com. Just for the waste of it.", and "www.suck.com. "www.suck.com. Just for the waste of it.", and "www.suck.com. Witless to brutality." Frankly, we're AFRAID to look at our hit counts after stickers reading "www.suck.com" start appearing in the men's room of our favorite clubs. And we can slap a sticker on any product to make it our own customized promotional merchandise. We're most fond of the Suck wastebasket: "www.suck.com. No need to recycle."
The Suck 1 1/2" felt-tip indelible marker: it doesn't even need to say Suck anywhere indelible marker: it doesn't even need to say Suck anywhere on it. And, if you're resourceful, this item may even be free. Get out there with the Ultra-Wides, and remember: Suck does not support or condone illegal activity. Viva
