That’s what you do here. The more money you have, the better a person you are. If you're rich, you can go and buy £200 Nike trainers that prove to the world that you are rich and thus a good person. You're so rich that you can advertise a company that uses child labor so it's shareholders and executives can live in big houses and drink the best wine and eat fine food, when their 'employees' do not even have the facilities to live.

Yes, advertise. See that little tick on your trainer? That’s advertising, and for some reason you have paid an extra £40 upwards to advertise a company. Surely that isn't right…if someone wants me to advertise them, they pay me. You say its stylish? Well, I bet those wonderful people at Nike can't wait for Channel 4s owners to be 'stylish' and pay Nike a couple of million so that they can have that little trademark tick in the bottom right hand corner of every program. Or on every page of your beloved Hello magazine.

I wouldn't mind if it was a band you liked, or a charity you wanted to support, or a philosophical principle. Come to think of it, maybe it is a philosophical principle for most of you - 'I support the theory that child slavery is OK, gluttony at the expense of the needy is fine, and you don't mind being one of the mindless masses doing exactly as Nike say'.

If I was spotted coming out of a charity shop by one of you morons, you would call me 'cheap', or the most loathsome of you would call me a 'pikey'. You would think that I was unbearably uncool, supporting a company that does its utmost to help people. This would probably be thought whilst wearing Nike trainers, proving to the whole world that you support a company that doesn't really care about making easy money at the expense of the same people that the charity is trying to help. Apparently, caring about other people isn't cool.
